I made three easy, no sew totes. Since the Fancy Flea is November 2, I know shoppers will have Christmas on their minds
I picked up these canvas totes at Hobby Lobby, I was surprised at their large selection of sizes
The Poinsettias were a lucky estate sale find. They are hand sewn and oh my......What perfect Christmas colors!
I pulled out some great vintage crochet trim. I just love this one, shabby, slightly stained, and oh so perfect. I can't imagine how long it takes and the skill required to crochet this!
I sewed on the trim, but it could easily be added with fabric glue, I like to use Fabri-Tac
And glued on the poinsettia
These were done the same way I did my French Market Bags
I only made three, but time permitting I will make more before the Fancy Flea.
I'm going to price them at $22...Because I think they are adorable and unique. I'll be making a couple for Christmas gifts for girlfriends.
Have a great week!
And
Happy Creating
Carol

You keep coming up with fabulous ideas! I love these. I always carry a bag at festivals so these would be perfect to buy at the start. I'm following you on Pinterest. Hugs!

So beautiful and just love the pink poinsettia's! xo Heather
Another awesome project. I would love to borrow your brain sometime! LOL!
These are so lovely and your have priced them to reasonably. I think you could get more but they will certainly not languish at that price point.
You are the greatest.

They are indeed very beautiful!! Too nice to use!! The lace is fabulous and the poinsettias Wow!
These are soooo cute! And I like the pocket on the outside of these, makes for a nice change up. Terrific find on those poinsettias. happiness~~Mickie
Those flowers were a fabulous find! Love the totes.
Fabulous Carol, I love your totes. The poinsettias are gorgeous and what a find. Just adore the lace trims too. My grandmother could create these beautiful crocheted laces. I wish I had a fourth of her talent for crochet.
Think I'll go paint some pink poinsettias! LOL
Have a creative week.

Oh Carol, I just Love these Bags!! I hope I am one of those Girlfriends!! LOL
Great find on the Poinsettias, just Gorgeous!!
Huggs, Nancy
Gorgeous bags. I bought a few of those bags from HL. I had plans for them, but I never got around to that project. You've inspired me to get started! Thanks!
Those poinsettias are so sweet and the pink is nice because it doesn't shout Christmas, but gives a nice soft message. And of course, pink is definitely your thing!!! Nice totes.
You are so very clever! These bags are so pretty. I think $22 is a deal for them. I can't wait to see your Booth at Fancy Flea!
Well you know these are up my alley girlfriend. No sew and cute! BTW>>>Mike enjoys your comments:) He laughed at the one of facebook.
The bags looks gorgeous.
Hugs from here
So pretty Carol. I'm sure they'll sell out before the opening bell at the Fancy Flea.
Very pretty. I like the one with the vintage crochet trim!! Nancy
Love these totes, Carol. They are perfect for the holidays. I will have to give that fabric tack a try. I've never used it before.
Lovely combinations of lace and pink poinsettias on the totes. You are going to need a moving van to get to the Fancy Flea with all your wonderful creations. Joyful Dear...
What gorgeous totes! The fabric poinsettias are just beautiful and so unique. And the trim really is the icing on the cake! They will sell in a flash for sure:)
These are just the greatest, and what a find those poinsettias were.
What a wonderful way to use them.
Your Christmas bags are just adorable! What a great price too. The friends on your Christmas list are lucky ladies. I so need to get busy getting ready for Christmas!

Dear sweet Carol, These are so pretty and I love that cotton lace boarder with the roses. These are going to sell like hot cakes. All the lovely things that you have been making for your booth are amazing, my head is swimming with visions of sugar plums and fancy :)
Keep Smiling,
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Carol those are just darling they will sell like hot cakes. The crochet trim added to that one makes it just over the top. Last year I thought I would do some sort of Holiday Sale but with my surgery it kinda set me back on my crafting. I have started working on Holiday goodies.. I have some catching up to do! Very beautiful work! ox, Diane
Hello Carol - these are absolutely amazing! You are the most and bestest at craftiness! Yep, it's late and I'm sleepy! Hope you have a blessed Wednesday :)

And Thank you for your visit,
Marie Antoinette
Very nice! You have a good eye for putting things together!
Lucky find! Love the pink poinsettias and your bags are so pretty. I know they will sell quickly at the show, which looks like it's coming soon. Mine isn't until Nov. 23-24. Shows sure are a lot of work aren't they? I made some French market burlap bags....thinking they would be great for someone to slip a christmas gift in or a small table top Christmas tree. We shall see. xoxoxo
They are lovely!
