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!
I love your Parisian market bag! I wish that I could sew! I love the label you added, too! Now I need to get brave and try my hand at fabric transfer!!! Thanks for the great inspiration!
Love the bag. Hi! Following you from the Meet Me Monday blog hop! I Hope you visit my Cajun blog and return the follow! - Jessica @ http://cajunlicious.com

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!
