They would rather we buy the green cloth bags and I do have them.<br /><br />My problem is always forgetting to bring them along to the store, I am terrible at that!<br /><br />But I always ask for paper bags, I reuse them over and over...harvesting veggies, storing potatoes, mailing packages. They are great for all kinds of things...Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15423880021791681592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-44984827293966898972011-01-23T07:22:33.227+11:002011-01-23T07:22:33.227+11:00I love paper bags.

I don't want the fabric or wool I have just bought clumped in with everything else in my bag or in one of those awful supermarket type bags. It is not so long ago fabric was folded neatly and wrapped in brown paper, notions like buttons and thread and lace were put in a little paper bag that was folded over and sealed with tape so that the things you bought arrived home in a decent state. I sound like an old lady but really it was still like that pre Spotlight coming to town and that is within the last 10 to 12 years I think.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659929017085133209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-35957982862019544162011-01-22T17:47:43.738+11:002011-01-22T17:47:43.738+11:00Our Christmas stockings used to be brown paper bag...Our Christmas stockings used to be brown paper bags decorated by each child - a new one each year - fun!Charlotte Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696100659597422648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-2079994170908851452011-01-22T11:11:58.555+11:002011-01-22T11:11:58.555+11:00I hope they do bring them back it would be so hand...I hope they do bring them back it would be so handy :0)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593209985311215622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-65968226365655268262011-01-21T21:58:34.655+11:002011-01-21T21:58:34.655+11:00i recently participated in a 12 days of Christmas ...i recently participated in a 12 days of Christmas swap and my partner wrapped everything in brown paper and tied them with string. it was thrilling!Mamarazzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053091142306052509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-65078082373290379312011-01-21T21:56:36.338+11:002011-01-21T21:56:36.338+11:00Hey Tanya, yep, I sure remember those brown paper ...Hey Tanya, yep, I sure remember those brown paper bags.
