April Need-a-Bag? project update

Note: The Need-a-Bag? project was created to promote sustainable bagging at the Hwy 441 Alachua County Farmer's Market each Saturday morning. We supply resusable tote bags reclaimed from thrift stores and garage sales. The Need-a-Bag? project also utilizes old tank tops as tote bags by sewing up the bottoms (these are called t-totes). We invite you to read the other posts on the project by clicking the "Need-a-Bag? Project" label at the bottom of this post.

Well, last Saturday, with heavy heart, I brought the Virgo t-tote home and am going to replace some of the rhinestones on it. Then, maybe, I'll put it back up for adoption. Who will take pity on poor little Virgo?

Update: Okay, instead of writing my final paper or at least reading for my class today, I decided to take time out for little Virgo's upkeep. After gluing on the rhinestones, I took some pics:

Little Virgo looks fantastic! All spiffy and earnest and ready to lend a helping hand keeping the sweet potato dirt away from the vulnerable strawberries and green onions. It's hard to believe (s)he hasn't found a loving home for lo these many many months. Most of the other T-totes have found homes, even the ones who came after Virgo. But little Virgo is always found hanging forelorn on the fence at the end of every Saturday's bustle. Week in and week out, all through the fall and the winter and now the spring. When will Virgo's happy day arrive?
