This weekend is shaping up to be absolutely perfect for the opening of the Sunday Farmer’s Market. I can barely contain my enthusiasm, because I mistakenly forgot to stock up on the BEST HONEY in Astoria before the Market closed last fall and I’ve been using second grade honey all winter. Crammed in a couple of blocks downtown, the market is not to be missed: full of home made treats like the Blue Schortcher’s bread and the aforementioned honey. Flowers and toy makers and plant sales, OH MY! I usually end up with so much stuff in my hands that it is a miracle I don’t drop my camera! Because, you know, I’m out there taking photos of everything.
But, not this year! I’m prepared this year to shop in style. No more juggling packages. No more wishing for bags with handles, as the market vendors tend to prefer plain brown paper bags. Instead, I’ve crafted a handy little shopper that is sure to solve all my woes. This wee bag is actually quite roomy and ever so stylish. No more balancing pears on my head! Who said being environmentally friendly could be so fashion forward?
In honor of the Market opening, a small collection of unique Market Shoppers are on SPECIAL for this weekend only. Now you won’t have to be balancing pears on your head, either!
You rock.

It’s official, Spring is here when the Market opens. 😀 ~W
OMG! What a great idea! And I love them! I just went and bought up Felicity. Sorry to miss Sophie, but I’m excited about Felicity. YAY! The market in our town opens soon and this is brilliant!

Oh! I’m so glad you got one. I’m tempted to keep a few for myself and just put them in the back of the car for the grocery store! I probably should make some “manly” ones that aren’t so “pursey”. Heh Your package should ship ASAP: I include something special and extra in all my Thrifty Goodness packages and I’ve been told my supplier is delivering tomorrow! 😀 ~W
It sounds wonderful! Too bad I am not there too!!! I would love to shop for honey with you! xxo,V

How fun would that be?? ~W
SInce I’ve been to your Astoria once (a few years back), I’m trying really hard to imagine where the market would be, and I’m also imagining you walking through it with pears on your head! So glad that you made a bag for yourself – that’s much easier to picture!

Um, it’s on 12th street between Marine and Exchange. It takes up part of the old Safeway parking lot, too. 😀 ~W
That is great. I love the fabric. You will be STYLIN’ downtown at the Farmer’s Market. Our FM should be starting soon, too. It will be nice to finally get some good produce. The stores here really don’t have a great selection.

Mine are actually in a different print, because I knew that Sophie print would be loved! I’m looking forward to later in the summer when the good stuff starts coming into season! ~W
I think your “Market Shopper” is very clever. It allows one to go to the Farmer’s Market and be environmentally friendly in the process. And they are “way cute” – far better than trying to stuff something in your purse or using those generic burlap bags they sell for so much more. Plus the fact that you offer them in various vintage fabric styles – so cool indeed!

I can hardly wait too! Spring, Sunday Market… the smell of Kettle Korn in the air (and in my tummy). If there’s a trail of Kettle Korn, chances are I’m at the end of it! Maybe I’ll see you and Paula there…. if not, have fun!

At first glance I mistook it for a baby sling! Jiggity-jig and wee, wee, wee, wee!
