The design for the new Market bag came to me this winter as I was going on another trip to the grocery store with a reusable plastic bag that had one handle ripped off and a hole in the bottom. I made myself a Market Bag, and realized that this bag can be used so many more times and look great again after every wash. Made from pre-existing Vintage Fabric the Market Bag is sustainable and strong with reinforced webbing straps ~not to mention unique and very vineyardy! 😉 I am counting on seeing these this summer at @westtisburyfarmersmarket Model: @nellie_blue photographer: @randibairdphoto Location : @whippoorwillfarm.mv

Flowers are a major theme of Mid Century fabrics and these peonies are depicted beautifully on a recent find of Vintage barkcloth !

A highlight every year , spending the day at @brimfield_antique_show !! I never know what I am going to find, but today all the stars aligned for me ! I came away with a huge quantity of incredible Victorian cut velvet and a fantastic variety of 1940’s and 50’s barkcloth!! Summer 2022 bags and pillows will be plentiful, beautiful and unusual . Come see me at @vineyardartisans 💝#livingthedream
