Brand New Produce Bags for your Fruit and Vegies

Eco friendly Bessie brings the first peek of our produce bags. Are you tired of tossing plastic bags? Most of us remember our green bags for the checkout - this goes one step further. Designed to hold your fruit and vegetables, it is light enough to weigh your produce and carry it home. Machine washable, they can be used over and over.
With a built in drawstring and made from recycled lightweight fabrics or curtains they are a environmentally friendly substitute for the supermarket or produce markets. Versatile- you can also make them a toy bag or for eco-friendly gift wrapping.

Say NO to Plastic Bags! Have fun with your groceries with our custom made bags in your choice of colours. You can purchase three of the same fabric or a variety as pictured. Visit our gallery for more fabric ideas. The bags featured on this page are made from discarded vintage sheets and net curtain- a great way to shop  sustainably.

$100 Bessie prize pack draw - favourite vintage finds

Thanks for checking out our brand new blog page. We have a special offer - enter our $100 prize pack draw. Just comment here, on our website, or like/comment on the facebook page. We'll add an extra entry for each!

In the prize: we'll include a special new release handmade item - very eco-friendly and you will be the first to have one.

Fabric is not the only thing vintage I bring home from op shop trawling.
The first water jug and glasses set we found and admired in a secondhand shop. Lo and behold a few months later, it was a wonderful and very thoughtful surprise present for my birthday.

The juice glasses below were in a beautiful condition. I fell in love with the bright colours.

The 18 piece tea set was flawless as well (Royal Series, Yamato fine china, Japan). My earl grey tastes even better in them. All three items were sourced from Gympie- Wide Bay- Sunshine Coast areas, Australia.
 

I guess, like most bargain hunters, it was also satisfying that I picked up both for a steal, and they are well loved once more.
