I have been making tote bags out of plastic feed bags that my chicken feed comes in. I also have horse bags and a few pig bags. The feed bags have pretty pictures of the critters on them. I need more bags. If you feed farm animals and have bags, would you like to make a swap, barter or trade. I will make you a tote bag if you will send me five bags that I can use. You may go to www.etsy.com/shop/anniemayme to see the bags I have done. I make little felt critters to adorn each bag. Thanks. I am a new member of the sisterhood.

I have feed bags for you!
Out of all the feed I purchase, only 2 are plastic....goat and rabbit. I will gladly save these bags for you. The challenge for me will be keeping them clean because I usually toss them in a pile until trash day. I will be diligent in trying to keep them from getting rained on.
I have been intending on making a couple of totes for myself but my procrastination usually takes over. So, I am excited about possibly getting one of your totes.

I appreciate you saving the bags, now I will make some tiny bunnies and goats to tie on the finished tote bags. After I receive your bags, it will take a couple of days to get your tote bag or bags in the mail back to you. For every five bags I will return a tote bag to you. I am excited, and thanks again.

Good evening,
I have hundreds of the bags, how many would you like. The dump here in town saves them for me to make bags. I do not have enough time to sew so they have been accumulating.

Oh my goodness Holly.Are they all plastic coated bags? Do you make tote bags from them? Would you like for me to make you a tote bag or more than one? If you have pig bags, chicken, goat, sheep I think any animal that we humans enjoy having around, I would love some, what ever you want to trade. For every five, I will send you a tote bag. Thanks

Marilyn -
I have a couple horse feed bags. Let me see what else I can round up for you from DIL and friends.
I'm also happy that you have joined my sunbonnet swap. We live in the same state - I'm in east Texas and you are way west. LOL! Maybe we can meet in person sometime.

My tablet is nuts. Sorry that I did not proof read. My granddaughter is firing texts at me needing addresses of relatives to send out her graduation announcements to, and I missed it.

| Hi Just letting you know what a lady(friend) does here. She has a sample of her feed bag tote hung up at our local feed mill with a sign telling customers about giving her 5 bags and getting one for free. Also tells prices for others. She has even made a shower curtain out of them. She loves me as I have all kinds of animals on the bags even ones from me buying sunflowers. She has also made lunch bags from my smaller bags. I love these tote bags as they are strong and hold up ever well. Good luck finding more bags. |

I get my birdseed in the plasticized bags, too. Will they work for you? Nice bird pis on the front. I have one empty and soon will have another. And I have some horse feed bags. Send your address to me in email and when empty I will mail them.

Yes Linda the birdseed bags work too. I sent you my address. Thank you for saving your bags. When you send them make a note of which one(s) you would like as your tote bag(s).

Look what I got in the mail today! Great tote bags made from seed sacks with the cutest little felt chickens tied on to the handles.
Thank you Marilyn. I will use these all the time. They are a great size for groceries or farmer's markets.
I have been saving more bags for you. Bless you!
