Envirosax Flora Series Pouch
I saw this fun reusable shopping bag in O Magazine, but of course it was sold out by the time I got there. Then I realized you could buy a “pouch” of each design series. I got five bright bags in all the floral prints they offer, for only $5 each. (They also offer an intriguing black and white series.)
Now I can match my bag to my T-shirt at the farmer’s market, which is crucial.

Bach Coat Hook
The Art of Storage sent me one of these wide-mouth coat hooks, and I’m thrilled. It doesn’t leave a crappy “nipple” on the back of your jackets, and it looks good hanging on the wall. Plus, you can change out that triangular face plate in the middle if you want the color to match your room. An excellent place to hang those shirts you’ve been meaning to take to the dry cleaner. For a month.

Julia wrote in to say that she was looking for something to hold her jewelry, something besides a big wooden box. This, my friends, is surprisingly hard to find.
