Monday Love: DIY-shopping bag

 

Are you looking for a cute last minute present idea? This bag can be ready in an afternoon of crafty fun. We took a vintage photo of my friends mum, printed it on a sheet lazertran and ironed it onto a plain white linen bag. The photo was then embellished by hand with buttons and ribbon, to match the pictures nostalgic appeal. This bag is a handy companion, because it can be kept folded in your handbag and taken out for that extra bit of shopping you have to do sometimes. Breadrolls for sunday breakfast look very good in it as well as fresh veggies and flowers from the farmers market!
Have a spelndid start to your week!

    What a brilliant idea! Do you have to have a special printer to do this?

    Hope you're having a good start to your week, Martina!

    Much love,

    THIS IS A WONDERFUL IDEA! And you know dearest, I prefer small and thoughtful and DIY gifts like this, to GIVE and to receive.

    My darling one, you still have a sore throat? You know, this year, I believe we are so sick because we are working SO HARD. I had gone to the doctor on Friday to just rule out pneumonia. All is well, it is just a head cold that is actually better, but I still have sniffle! THIS HAS LASTED WAY TOO LONG! But you too, I believe it is due to too much work.

    I wish you well today; my last day of school is WEDNESDAY! So I will be checking up on you in a day or two! LOVE TO YOU OUT THERE IN BEAUTIFUL GERMANY!!!! Anita
