Giveaway Day
Just in time for all those fresh fruits and vegetables you'll be harvesting in the next few months I'm offering up these cute cloth produce bags. Not growing your own fruits and veges ? Then take them to the grocery store with you and use them in place of those nasty plastic sacks. These produce bags are made from flour sack material so will weigh just a tad, but not as much as the cost of an apple.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 243 of 243Hi I'm cindy in salisbury:) I need to be more green--alas I'm old and it is hard to change--BUT I do know that vinegar is a great cleaner--I had a friend in Mississippi who only used vinegar for years to steam clean her carpets--once dry--no smell--very fresh and no soapy residue to attract dirt! (we used to rinse our hair with it back in the stone age.) Thank you so much for you long comment telling me a bit about yourself--These bags are really very appealing--obvious by the number of comments--
Great idea! Green tip: you can clean almost anything with baking soda, vinegar, and a good scrub brush. Non-toxic, natural, and simple!
Yeah, something to use with my tomatoes and peppers! I have berries too, but I haven't mastered those yet. My biggest tip is just don't buy so much stuff. How much stuff do we replace just because? Too much. As a bonus, you will save money too!
Scour your local charity shops for all manner of super clothes and fabric, things that don't fit can be refashioned into something unique and fabulous.
Great bags, my tip would be hang your clothes out to dry. Thanks
Those would come in so handy! It is so great of you to give those away.
Green tip: Harvest rainwater!!! It is especially important in the desert where I am from.
love the bags. Found you thru Kim's big quilting adventure.
I've been looking for this sort of thing for a while--please count me in!
Support local produce and farmers. Try the 100 Mile diet. It'll change the way you view the world
they are lovely and highly ideal for the produce from our allotment, especially as we also chose to live without a fridge!
please may i play? thanks a lot
oh, and my green tip is that it's a heck of a lot easier living without a fridge than people will have you believe! and as it is one of the most energy-consuming household appliances, if you think you could do it, it's worth a try!
have fun, nadia
p.s. - i shall also be reading through all these other tips with glee
p.p.s. - i have 2 giveaways going on too if you want to play feel free to, at shadowsandclouds.blogspot.com
I love these bags!
Just found a great idea for reuse of plastic shopping bags, fusion... put a couple of layers of bags on top of each other, and iron them together (with your iron on low of course!). Just tried it yesterday, and 6-8 layers produces a nice sturdy sheet. Great to sew fancy bags or baskets from! Found it on www.ijverig.blogspot.com
My favorite green tip? Milk from the farm in reusable bottles. Love it! What fabulous bags you have here!!! Thanks for being part of the giveaway.
Those veggie bags are great. I am a gardener too. My tip: I leave canvas bags in the back of my car and pull them out whenever I go grocery shopping so I don't have to use the yucky plastic bags.
My favourite green tip of course has to do with sewing. I like to make all my canvas shopping bags. Reduces the amount of those ucky plastic bags we have around the house. Never thought about making specialty produce bags. What a great idea!
Awesome giveaway! don't over water
I'm 8, and I have my own sewing blog. My mom is teaching me to sew. I am also doing a giveaway. So please come and put your name in.

My mom is doing the giveaway too. Her blog is www.sewingwithtrudy.blogspot.com
I love these bags!!!! You're very gifted!
green tip: I save cereal boxes, and anything cardboard for craft projects... you make your own chipboard letters out of a cracker box!

My favorite Green Tip is recycle everything you can! I also make my own cleaners that are all earth friendly and safe for my family!
Thank you so much these bags are so wonderful!

a green tip: to save the water from the kids bath and take it out side for the garden
Instead of paper towels, we use cloth rags. I keep a bucket under the sink for the dirty ones and a basket on the counter full of clean ones. The basket full of clean ones is labeled "paper towels" for friends and family who are looking for something to wipe off the counter with.
These are awesome! thanks for the chance
Hello and thanks for a chance to win your produce BAGS. Really great things, and this is our first year garndening. Having fun with it so far, and the kids are ready to eat our green strawberries! We are installing a rain barrell to catch water to water our garden and flowers etc...Its been exciting spring.

Your fruit and vegetable bags are really cool they would be very nice teaching tools for my children.
Love them! They would be perfect. Thanks for the great giveaway.
So cute! Green tip: cleaning with vinegar works just as well and is cheaper!
Only one tip? How about just simply using vinegar and baking soda for cleaning? That one is each and cheap!
What a wonderful thing! I love those little bags.
favorite green tip: get rid of paper towels! use cloth towels that you can re-use instead.
I keep reusable tote bags in my car so that I don't forget them when I'm at the grocery. I also take the bus to work. I love your giveaway!
The thing I do the most to be green is using the grocery sacks instead of getting paper / plastic.
Thanks for participating. I hope I win. :)
If it's yellow let it mellow.
If it's brown flush it down ;-)
Cute bags!
Green tip--Instead of buying plastic containers and plastic food bags (just more non-degradable stuff you'll eventually throw away anyway!), keep all glass jars from mayonnaise, pickles, etc and use them for leftovers. They'll probably stay fresh longer, they're prettier, and they can be reused forever!
Those bags are great! We use "laptop lunchboxes" that have little bento-box-like containers instead of plastic sandwich bags, etc. Really cuts down on that kind of waste.
I always liked the idea of using reusable bags at the store, but the ones you could buy there are not very cute. I happend apon a bag at quilting store and that inspired me to make my own market bags. I have one done and the fabric to make another. Stylish and green!
We've practically done away with cleaning products in our home since learning what combinations of vinager, water and sometimes baking soda can do!
I love these! I try to wash my clothes at the lowest setting my washing machine will go to!
I'd love these bags...I hate the plastic ones at the store.
Green tip...save all the plastic food containers. They come in very hand for sorting lace scraps by color, buttons by size/shape/color, etc, etc. (My sewing stash looks a little like a grocery store lately!)
Also - reusable water bottles. Get a couple of nice aluminumn ones and they'll last forever.
My favorite green tip is to hang out your laundry instead of using the dryer!
I really like your bags. My green tip is to repurpose an item rather than throw it away. It is amazing how many uses I can find for something and it saves from buying another thing that in the end goes to the trash. Thanks for the giveaway.
Wow! Too cute! I love the bags! I could use them for my garden!!
My favorite green tip is pretty simple - reuse paper. I work in an office so we are constantly getting paperwork that is no longer needed but was only used on one side. I hate to see it go in the trash so I bring them home and reuse them when I am printing silly stuff/coupons/etc. Just make there is nothing confidential on the paper you reuse! :)

ooh, these are great!
my best green tip is using old sheets to cut out sewing patterns. it gives purpose to old threadbare sheets, they last way longer than tissue paper, and it makes cutting out fabric a breeze!
thanks so much!
We use vinager and water for cleaning most things. Saves on money AND goes GREEN!
Love it!!
We've been using cloth bags, but I don't have a good produce solution...I have been working on mesh bags but these are way cuter! I think my fave green tip is homemade laundry detergent! Awesome!
My favorite tip is reusable shopping bags. I love 'em. And if I ever forget them at home I always kick myself in the butt.
