About 8 years ago, I had spotted a man carrying a canvas mason bag in the subway in New York and immediately wanted one. Jeff found one for me in a mom & pop hardware store in New Jersey. I decided to personalize it to make it a little more fun, cutting out my initials and an anchor and sewing them on with sparkles and beads. I tend to forget about this bag and just as the summer has a few more weeks left, I decided to pull it out of the closet.
