A few weeks ago, I put out a request for ideas about how to carry bulk goods home from the store without using disposable plastic bags. The winning suggestion came from my crafty and creative friend Jennifer Coluzzi! Her great idea was to use travel pillow cases, which are much smaller than regular pillow cases and zip closed. However, before I could get to the store to purchase some, my similarly crafty and creative mother, Maggie Kline, sewed me a batch of little bags exceedingly similar to the travel pillow cases I planned to buy. Talk about timing! The little bags close with ribbon rather than zippers, but the basic idea is identical. This confirms that all English teachers do think alike.
We drove past the future site of Sunflower Market in Fremont recently, and noted that the COMING SOON! banner is now up. Hurry up and open, Sunflower! We have our little bags at the ready! I will post some photos of the bags in action when we make our inaugural trip.
