BRAND NEW LINE OF GROCERY OR SHOPPING BAGS!
I am introducing my environmentally friendly, no child labor, reusable shopping bags. Each bag is of cotton construction, strong enough to hold 10 to 12 pounds and approximately the same size as a standard paper grocery bag. Actual dimensions are 14 inches tall by 12 inches wide by 6 inches deep. The bags feature an outside pocket large enough for a small wallet and set of keys. It's also handy for putting away your receipts. The handles are padded for carrying comfort, which is great for those who walk or use public transportation.

Thanks, Lyn!
After much testing with the demo bags I made, I and the other testers found them to be stronger, prettier and able to hold more than those canvas bags sold in craft stores. I know a plain canvas bag can be decorated, but the sizes are not quite as good for groceries and no padded handles, either. I do a lot of walking and use public transportation often, so comfort is important. Even if you're going just a short distance, those plastic bags can cut into your hands or arms. Besides, one can use only so many plastic and paper bags at any given time.
