What IS it about me and BAGS?! These are some new bags by
Papaya art that I really love. I don't own any of
these (yet), but I sure do love them . . .
I bought
this bag at the Women's Conference in Long Beach last month. It was $4 and has one of those lunch-bag-type-linings in it. You know, the silver kind that keeps food hot or cold? And check out what it says on the front. I mean really, I just HAD to have it right?
Kind of hard to read in my photo, but it says "
I am unique. I am grateful. I am worth it. I am determined."
And this is the tote that we all received as a gift on the Artful Voyage cruise with Tim Holtz. I had Wendy Vecchi sign it, but never got around to having Tim sign. Huuuummm, I guess I'll have to take it to the Carson Convention on Saturday and get his "John Hancock" added to my tote.
And when I returned from the cruise, some of the cruisers were talking about tote bags they got that Tim had designed, so of course I inquired, and was told to contact Mario to see if any were still available. There WERE! So I got one for myself and one for my sil/bff/cabin-mate Lezlei. I've been using mine to carry work from "the day job" back and forth. Isn't it just the coolest?! I just LOVE the frayed edges and the handles and the hardware . . .
Oooooh, and I've got some of the grocery bag totes from Trader Joe's as well . . .
And look at these two totes I found on
Etsy . . .
Both of them come all the way from ROME . . .
Sure would like this
Obama Tote . . .
And a
Love Birds tote would be kinda cool I guess . . .
And what about a
tote made from a newspaper print flannel? . . .
And wouldn't pug owners want a
flying pug tote? . . .
Or if you're into cats, how about this
messenger bag ? . . .
And check out this
Burlap Paris Flea Market bag that the designer uses to hold rolls of toilet paper that she hangs from a crown hook. Hey, I've got one of those cast iron crown hooks somewhere . . .
And if this came in a natural-colored tote with black lettering, I would DEFINITELY buy
THIS in a tote! LOL . . .
Anybody else out there in Blogland have an obsession for totes???

You know I have an obsession for just about everything. ;)
You are the ultimate bag lady! I have some of the Trader Joes totes :) And yup, those are some cool bags!
Me? Addicted to totes?!?!?
Darn right!!!!
I LOVE the new Papaya bags - have asked for one from Santa. Have a Trader Joe's bag, too. And my Tim bag & my cruise bag (I didn't get Tim to sign mine, either - did get Wendy - take mine with you to Carson, please?). And and and ... oh, yeah ... I love me some totes!! That French one (on the crown hook) ... mmm .... Oh, you are a bad influence, girl! *lol*
OMG!!! Didn't know you were a "bag lady"!! What a selection of haves and wants!!!
Oh yesseriee..count me in on the obsession! The ones you shared are fabulous!
LOL- my verification word is "quite"..as in Quite fabulous!!
You are definately a toteaholic, LOL! They are all pretty fantastic!
Oh, I sure do. I went ahead and got two of those Tim bags after the cruise...the one you bought (mine is blue), and the brown rock star one.
I also love the huge bags they sell in IKEA and the Container Store. Hold a ton and cost about $3-4. I use them to haul supplies to classes.
If only I had a closet just for my totes. They do tend to take over.
