Ladybird Bags
Ok, I know Americans call them Ladybugs ;o)
If anyone would like one of the Tesco bags, I can send some. Just call it a 'thankyou' for all the tips and advice from fellow stitchers on the group. My email addy is valid. -- Regards..............P-f (Polly) |

My email addy is valid. Aha, mystery solved, Now I know who Polly from Surrey is! I am curious, whereabouts in Surrey? I was born in a Nursing Home in Wadden, prior to WW2, and lived in Wallington until 1946. Then we moved to Uxbridge on the Middx/Bucks border. Sheena goes to visit her aunt in Wallington, and just got back. Cheryl is a big ladybird.bug fan...and I had to gloat over my Tesco bag! LOL Gillian |

We are in a small village called South Godstone (about a mile south of Godstone and Junction 6 of the M25.....lol ) Gatwick Airport is about 20 mins away. I've got fond memories of Wallington Public Halls in the 60's. Some fine Groups appeared there. Those bags are *very* sturdy, about the best of the Supermarket alternatives to plastic. -- Regards..............P-f |

One of our local shops (we have two shops on the island) stopped supplying plastic bags earlier this year. However, they gave each customer a free burlap bag; most people bought another one, they were about one pound each. -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK |

I've had 2 packs of 3 bags from Nescafe rewards, 2 Cancer charity bags from Asda, 3 limited edition designs from Sainsbury, and several canvas bags free with magazines. So far, I've only painted a design on *one*. -- Regards..............P-f (Bag-Addict) |

The winner was an enterprising lady (no, it wasn't Maureen) who treated one side of the bag as a piece of aida and filled it with a cross-stitch design incorporating the name of the shop (Olivebank), its phone number, the proprieter's name (Williamson) and various items sold by the shop (fruit, veg, groceries, meat). -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK |
