Good morning blogging friends!
Bonjour!! {for my French bloggy amis....}
Well, it's Wednesday & the list is long....
so how about a little reminiscing
before diving into work!
......
About a year ago we had a fun contest where people came up with fun subtitles to tie this picture of Marilyn Monroe wearing a Potato Sack dress to the Crystelle Handbags line of Famous Potato Purses.
How fun it is to have a true classic dress made out of a potato sack!
It was so fun to see what kind of things people came up with.
The winning comment:

"What's in Your Bag?"
Love that comment!!!
So amazingly witty and fittingly funny!
The winner was Melissa.
Good work Melissa!!!
She won this scrumptious and tempting Famous Potato Sack Handbag that was then also named after her.
I have made the Melissa soooooo many times since that day,
and it always reminds me of Melissa {the person}, and "What's in Your Bag," and the famous Marilyn Monroe Picture....
It's been such a fun bag...!! Of course....
I just love the funky knotted handle on the Mellisa handbag... Isn't it fun!
It's a delicious bag that holds all my stuff so well and sooo comfortably!!
The potato sacks came from right here

Well, thanks for this posting. I love the Melissa bag! ~ could it be that I am somewhat partial toward it because I have the same name....?
