***Disclosure: I received complimentary product to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** One of the things I love most about this time of year is heading out to our many local Farmer's Markets to buy super-fresh, locally sourced produce and pies. There's nothing like the taste of farm-fresh fruits and veggies, so I always tend to stock up. My kids really enjoy snacking on these finds, but I also love to incorporate them into our meals. Crooked Brook is sponsoring a Custom Embroidered Tote Bag Giveaway just in time to “tote” your stuff from the farmer's market! One winner will receive two, 10"W x 14"H x 5"D, gusseted bottom, 10 oz., 100% cotton canvas tote bags personalized with two of the winner’s favorite herbs embroidered, one on one side, of each bag. Total value including SHI…$50.00 Here is the list of herbs that winners can choose from: · Basil · Caraway · Chamomile · Chives · Coriander · Cumin · Dill · Fennel · Lemon Balm · Marjoram · Myrrh · Oregano · Parsley · Peppermint · Rosemary · Sage · Spearmint · Tarragon · Thyme Images of the embroidered stitch outs can be found here: embroidery designs. Tote bags have become one of the most used bags in America. They can be utilized for a multitude of purposes, which explains why they have become so popular. These bags are truly an American Classic. For those looking for convenience and ease of carrying things, the tote bag is often the best suited for the job. The word tote started to be used back in the mid 1700’s and literally means to carry, with technically unknown origins; originally attested in Virginia. The Oxford English Dictionary questions the popular theory of its origin in a West African language (cf. Kikongo tota "pick up" and Kimbundu tuta "carry, load," linked to Swahili tuta "pile up, carry"). Embroidery a form of art that involves decorating a surface, typically fabric, with designs created by using a needle and thread (or yarn) that started out as a form of hand sewing and eventually advanced into a type of machine sewing. The exact origins of embroidery are hard to pinpoint, but there are many early examples that have survived throughout the centuries from ancient Egypt, Northern Europe and the Zhou Dynasty in China. In many cultures throughout history including ancient Persia, India, Japan, Byzantium, medieval and Baroque Europe - embroidery was a sign of high social status and wealth and became a hugely popular art form.

We don't have a Farmer's Market here. :-( If we did, I'd love the fresh produce! It's so hard to find good, organic produce around here that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
