Stripe Tote Bag: Our entryway closet is filled with unfortunate-looking, small tote bags that I’ve typically received as part of some “added value” purchase. You could say I unintentionally collect them, but since they’re so useful, I can never bring myself to get rid of them. I go to the farmers’ market every Sunday and the bags I lug around can hold approximately two pieces of fruit, so I wanted to find a better; more stylish option, without having to spend a lot of money. I found a plain, sturdy tote at my local art store for $5 and decided to dress it up with racing stripes and my initials using fabric paint. (via Cupcakes and Cashmere)
