Purses Made Out Of Feed Sacks

It is just so wonderful to see a purse that is made out of a feed sack!
I love the "green" feel to it.I love the outdoor, rural feel of reusing an existing burlap sack.
I love the feel of living off the land and making due with what you have that a real potato sack purse gives.


I love the feel of farming and country living that you get when you think of the original purpose of the feed sack.
Purses made out of burlap sacks are just wonderful!
Purses made out of feed sacks make you feel good to be alive!

Happy Potato Sack Sewing!

European Potato Sack Bag

Isn't this bag so cute!
A real European Potato Sack-Bag.
Being from the Netherlands (that's in Europe...for those of you who didn't know... hahaha), I am quite envious. Wish I knew where to get such burlap bags!

I'll have to call my mama and see if she knows....

Marilyn Monroe in Potato Sack Dress

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:
{selected by a jury of 9 adults who rated their number 1, 2, and 3 pick}

"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.

The Melissa Handbag!

 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

Fun times.  Good memories!

Makes me smile!

Au revoir! :) Crystelle

The Ginny PotatoPurse has been discontinued, but it was very popular while we were carrying it on our website. Just a fun, cute and practical handbag.

Everyone likes it!
At least that's what they tell me.
Don't want it to go to my head....




Have a fantastic day!
