Produce and a purpose

 P1097778

Back in October I went to an estate sale and found these 1940s sugar sacks. Clean, beautiful, and begging for me to take them home. I knew if I took them home, I would probably cut them up and turn them into something else... sorry ephemera purists, I can't help cutting stuff up! This time it only took me 3 months to get around to the project though. I made these produce bags in an hour or two, but I am not keeping them for myself. Nope. Here Etsy, take them. Take them all!

We have a drawer full of produce bags that we use every week to carry our CSA produce home. We also use these bags in the fridge to store our vegetables. I've found that our lettuce stays crisp, and the rest of our vegetables are pretty happy in the fridge when I keep them in a cotton produce bag. This time of year our fridge seems to always have a bag of leeks, cabbage or root vegetables.
