it's in the bag

A while back, Historymom and I emailed a bit about reusable shopping bags. I said I was going to make "Wilder Feed" bags for the LIW gathering prior to the Betsy Tacy Convention next summer. It's just something I've been thinking about since my family and I went to Callaway Gardens decades ago and we bought take-out lunches in white paper sacks with paper handles, appropriately called "feed bags." I doubt we'll need bags for a lunch on the BT-LIW outing, but it's an idea. Mostly I thought that something that said WILDER FEED STORE on it would be cute (or HARTHORN GROCERY or BRADLEY DRUG STORE), and I was picturing those brown craft paper bags with the twisted paper handles, possibly with a printed sticker on them instead of being screen-printed.

Historymom said she wanted to play around with a logo to iron on a bag, and she came up with a great one and even sent me a bag while I was visiting in Seattle a couple of months ago! I'm using it for my laptop bag at the moment. Isn't it adorable?
