To Market, To Market

To market, to market to buy a fat pig 

-with a cute little market bag in pink and green.

As I was purging my junk one day, I spied several runaway cans of spray paint under the cabinet.

At first I thought I was dreaming.

BUT, NO!


There was a can of Sweet Pea Pink.

I ran around and gathered three baskets, the market bag, and a silverplate tray.

I was so excited about the Sweet Pea Pink paint, I forgot to take before pics.

This was just a generic straw bag with a bright green cloth liner.

After painting it pink, I found this cute fabric scrap.

Wonky colors in the next two photos - have no idea why.

I glued a border of the fabric around the bag and put a button on it.

I decided after the fact that I liked the reverse side of the fabric more than the front.  I glued a tag to the right side so the wrong side showed on the backside of the tag.

Got that?

Front of the tag tied to a giant tassel of the fabric torn into strips.


You knew I would tear something up!

A few fake daisies later and here is my new market bag.

And off to the market I go.

But not to buy a fat pig.

I'll stick to tomatoes.








See y'all!
