  • Tales from a shopping bag

    A year or so ago, my adopted gyo mum, Flummery kindly knocked up a fab "market" bag for our travels.

    I say knocked up very lightly as it came fully lined, exquisitely made and with a button catch.

    Now then, this here bag has now been to markets with us in France (Brittainy and the langue-doc) for several years as well as all over England.

    It has carried cheese, still warm baguettes, bunches of leek seedlings, all manner of goodies from delies and boulangeries, it has even been Kazzies beach bag on several occasions. Once it even carried 4 bottles of very expensive port for my cellar, so its strength and usefullness has been fully utilised.

    Most importantly, it reminds us constantly of the generosity and kind nature of Flumm and with that, thanks chuck, its still as good as new and is the first thing packed when we go "en vacanse"

      Lovely tale Piglet.

      Its always great to have useful keepsakes which remind you of the generosity and kindness of our dearest friends. Long may it continue to acquire memories!

      OK Flum - when are you going into production for the rest of us?! Seriously - what a lovely thoughtful gift.

        I'm a little addicted to bags, esp. the handmade, useful tote kind.

        any chance of a photo Piglet or Flum?

          I don't think I can find the actual pic - my system isn't that organised - bit like me life really - but it was the same design as my own bumper shopper.

          PS - I got some good seeds for a swap!

                            Me too, me too, me too I would buy one! - Flum that bag looks fab! The sort of bag that becomes an old friend very quickly.
