I guess I've been enjoying summer too much because I've completely neglected my Bonna Bag blog duties lately. So sorry for my absence. I hope you will forgive me.
If you missed me at the craft fairs this summer that is because I wasn't there. My weekends were jammed packed with nannying, mural painting, rehearsing for a dance performance, and swimming in a lake. Plus, the bags are always available online and in stores (AuH2O and OAK) so I didn't feel too guilty about missing the fairs.
I have some exciting news to announce for fall! Bonna Bag will be featured in Angela Shelton's new cooking show, Stirring Up Trouble. Angela Shelton is best known for her documentary Searching For Angela Shelton, in which she traveled across the country contacting women with her name as a way of surveying women in America. What she discovered was that "24 out of the 40 Angela Sheltons she spoke to had been raped, beaten or molested." It's a powerful documentary and I suggest you check it out. Her latest project is a cooking show that is sure to be fun and entertaining. During the show you will notice Angela schleping her groceries home from market in her very own Bonna Bag! Stirring Up Trouble premiers September 4th so I'll keep you updated as it approaches. Check out Angela's flickr site for a pic of her with her Bonna Bag: http://www.flickr.com/photos/angelashelton/2655921522/
Also, I posted the video that Rebecca Israel made up top because it's just so much fun and currently hidden in the pages of past blog posts. I guess I should really make a website so that things like that are easier to find, but for now you will just have to live with the blog. I hope you are all enjoying the summer!
