Why not use this bag as:
A dolly’s shopper or beach bag, a Christmas tree decoration – filled with gifts (coins, notes or sweets!), an Advent calendar basket or an Easter basket for little eggs or chicks.  It could even be used to hold a little lavender bag and hung on a hanger among your clothes….the ideas are endless!
