Visit the Bella Bags Etsy Store for Reusable Organic Shopping Bags … only $10 each!

-Taking a reusable bag with you when you shop can drastically cut down on the amount of plastic that enters our landfills, the amount of chemicals needed to recycle paper, the number of trees that are used to make paper bags, and the amount of petroleum used to create the plastic bags that we find so convenient.


-Bella Bags Reusable Organic Shopping Bags are made from 100% organically grown US cotton and are created in fair trade and sweatshop free environments. The cotton used to make these products was grown without the use of insecticides, pesticides or fertilizers.


Do your part in sustaining our environment by using reusable grocery bags! Have a fantastic Earth Day!

It's Been a Long Time ...

…since I have had the chance to update everyone on what’s new with Bella Bags! The last few months of 2008 were filled with fantastic holiday shows and many custom orders leaving me not much time to devote to the blog!

Several new things have transpired in recent months! The Bella Bags Website was down for a while; getting a much needed make over … it still isn’t completed but is almost there! As of now, there is no checkout process on the site (but rest assured, it will be returning in the near future!) which leads me to my next piece of news! I am now selling on Etsy … I have been buying supplies and handmade goodness on Etsy for about a year and decided that I too wanted to sell on the site and be a part of such an amazing group of artisans.

Here are a few of the items I am currently selling on etsy:


♥♥♥♥♥♥ Valentine’s Sale through February 15th ♥♥♥♥♥♥
