I wouldn’t call myself much of a collector, but I need seem to acquire a lot of bags. Not purses or handbags, but shopping bags. I keep them in my car for impromptu shopping to help reduce my carbon footprint by using less plastic.  I have a hook in my kitchen with another pile of them. Near the door is another set of hangers with some. My cabinet may also be overflowing with some as well.

I don’t need more, but I am always open to getting more. Especially when the bags have original illustrations on them and are the perfect color for fall.

What can I say? I guess I’m just doing my best to save the environment.
