One Heart, Many Bags

June 10th, 2007 by creativespark

Someone (no names mentioned, **squint**) mentioned to me after our Vesak celebrations that a short post on the meaning of “One Heart” would be forthcoming. But nothing has arrived, so instead I’d like to share something visual with you…

My stunning “One Heart” bag is now turning the heads of Aunties in my local supermarket in its new incarnation as my favourite BYOB recycled shopping bag. But when they arrived on site we discovered that the stitching of the handles wasn’t strong enough to handle the weight they needed. So, with apologies to everyone I didn’t capture needle-in-hand (and who knew that Winston could sew?), I’d like to show you how the problem was solved…

It kind of makes my trips to the market extra-special to know that my bag has been hand-sewn with love by someone. I’ll never know who it was (One Heart!), so just to let you all know, it’s still going strong!
