Guest Blogger ~ GIVEAWAY!!!

We are starting to enjoy our garden, and lately there have been lots of pickings. I was bringing reusable shopping totes to collect our veggies, but after getting my hands on some burlap I was inspired to create a "Garden Goodies" bag. I hand-stamped the lettering and made a very basic drawstring bag. Today the bag was filled with green beans, tomatoes, parsley, red beets, peas, onions, and lettuce. I loved bringing all this fresh organic produce home in this very special bag!

In fact, I loved it so much that I decided to make a smaller, prettier version of a "Garden" bag for Emily too! Here she is gathering a bunch of lettuce.

Isn't it cute??

Whenever I make things like this, I love sharing them with others. One lucky reader will win one too! To enter for your chance to win a similar oh-so-cute personalized garden bag for your little one, leave a comment on this post telling us about your favorite Summer family activity (be sure to leave your email address in the comment field)! Giveaway ends Thursday, May 20th at 6:30pm EST. Open to US residents only. Winner will be notified via email.

Good luck!!

Notes from Val: I have one of these beautiful bags from Valerie, and I absolutely love it! It is bigger than it looks and was perfect last year for bringing in salad greens and other bounty from the garden and I look forward to using it this year for the bounty from the new garden. :)
