India Print Tote Bag

Over the weekend I finally got around to cleaning the front porch. Wow! That is one feel-good chore out of the way...for the time being, anyway!
Tote Bag on a Small Tree Prop
We've had a small dead tree lying here that Fred picked up in town last year.  The intent was to make a clothes tree of sorts to display tote bags - perhaps at a regular venue. And, it looks right at home here on the porch!

Spent the afternoon barefoot in the kitchen - making Calamondin Marmalade. A friend gave me the cutest little jars, & they are perfect for the purpose!
