There will be strawberry specials, music, and The Green Bag Lady will even be on hand to help kick off the festivities! Haven’t heard of the Green Bag Lady? Well, she’s awesome. It’s as simple as that. She makes handmade fabric shopping bags that she gives away for FREE (worldwide!) if you promise to use it instead of paper or plastic. She records your name, city, country and bag number and displays all of these on her site. So far she’s given away over 10,000 bags. Pretty amazing.
I picked up my cute bag last fall at the farmers’ market, but in all of the chaos, I didn’t actually get to meet her that day. Instead, it was a couple of months later when SHE approached ME at Davis Kidd while I was waiting in line for the Pioneer Woman cookbook signing. She spotted my bag from across the room and wanted to take a picture of me! Click here for that story and photo.
Mark your calendar now so you remember to get out of the house the next two Saturdays and enjoy these strawberry celebrations, full of free goodies!
These sound so fun! I'll be out of town this weekend but I will have to head down to the Jubilee. Those bags are adorable!
Thanks for the shout out Beth, I am sadly behind on my blog reading due to hosting a photo workshop this week. :)
I hope all is well, your blog is great! Love it! Teresa
