The Carpetbagger

Rosey was home from college this weekend, what a whirlwind.  In between friend visits, a trip to get our hair done and a great movie we were able to carve out a bit of time for a new bag.  We are calling it the Carpetbagger.

We used a rug from the clearance shelf at our local TJMaxx! It was ripped at one end, which made it perfect for our bag.

 A long zipper and a couple of brown belts completed the supplies. 

 I lined it with some great fabric Rosey chose from my stash of goods. 

 And there you go a great bag to take all of your treats from home back to college. 

Our next sale is almost here.  The carpetbagger will not make an appearance (maybe next month) but check out lots of fun upcycled goods at Occasionally Yours, 308 Oak Street in Farmington.  Visit Thursday through Sunday 9-5 and 11-5 on Sunday.
