An Inconveniently Convenient Bag

I have always had a thing for fabulous handbags.

I have always had a thing for fabulous handbags. Last year, when it became uncool to use environmentally unfriendly plastic and paper grocery bags, I suddenly started collecting reusable, canvas grocery bags. Last season I was obsessed with the I'm Not A Plastic Bag statement tote and this year I'm crazy about The Inconvenient Bag ($19.99) carryall.

Neither paper nor plastic, this large canvas tote — available in four different designs — is the size of a normal, brown grocery bag and can hold up to 45 pounds. The bags are made in LA from biodegradable cotton and non-toxic dyes. While it may not be as convenient as carrying groceries home in paper or plastic, toting my food in the inconvenient bag, makes me feel like I'm doing my part to help save the world.

If you don't have a reusable tote, I highly recommend this fun, fashionable, eco-friendly bag!

Do You Enjoy Shopping at Farmer's Markets?

The Sugar HQ just recently moved into a new building.

The Sugar HQ just recently moved into a new building. I'm super excited because on Thursdays there's a farmer's market right downstairs! Yesterday I took advantage of that fact and got some early season strawberries — about half were really sweet and half just so-so — to snack on. I have a feeling it's going to be my new thing to do on Thursdays!

So tell me, do you like going to farmer's markets?
