    That is gorgeous, Susan! I love that fabric and have something similar to it! Love the label you added to the front. It's gone from a plain straw tote to a fabulous French market bag!

    LOVE THIS!!! I have 3 different size rattan bags I've collected from GW over the years. This is great inspiration for what to do with them. I like the idea of just sitting them around for decor too. Thanks for sharing!

    Wow Susan...that is fabulous! Just dropped in from the Homemaker on a Dime blog hop and had to tell you I'll be borrowing this idea to makeover my French Market baskets. I'll let you know when they're done, so you can see how you've contributed to my inspiration...xxx
