To Market

We are closing in on the last few weeks before market season in the NorthWest, and I am beginning to dream of market totes...nerdy, I know. Here are a few of my favorite styles, and where I found them. However, true to GreenBean style, it's a great idea to make your own after what you like best! Even scrap fabric would be perfect!

I saw this DIY on Pinterest and loved it so much I wanted to share with all of you. There are a lot of tutorials floating around cyberspace right now on how to successfully paint everything from jars to lamps to...you name it, you put paint on it. This idea is fabulous because it is a terrific upcycle! {From one use to another.}
