At the local thrift shop some time ago; Brian and I spotted a lovely, new-with-old-fabrics quilt. Of course I wanted it, but knew that my house could go without heat indefinitely with just the quilts and chenille that I have already collected over the years.
Brian talked me into buying it anyway- pointing out that each square section was the perfect size for the front of a large messenger bag.
He was right.
Combined with bits of a corduroy skirt; an upholstery remnant; and a couple of has-been neckties-- voila! a bag.
(here it is turned entirely inside out- it gives you a much better view of how the pockets are laid out.)
Buttons scattered across the vintage pieces add some texture and dimension.
This bag measures ~15" x 14". Big enough for a school bag, diaper bag, or just a lotta stuff.
We'll start the bids at $25- Cdn and leave it open until 9:30 pm, cst.

I guess I have to go for $30 then. And I'll be home in Manitoba this weekend (maybe even Blunderview to visit a new baby), so I could even pick it up!

Yippee my little girl finally gets her own bag. Joyce we are living in Alberta now. But Marty will contact you this weekend with pickup and payment, if you will be around cause he is heading to Niverville.

(goes to show that I know NOTHING. I was hesitant to post the bag this morning; somehow thinking that it wouldn't "go"....)
