OO-oooooo. This is very enticing. The colors are beautiful. Masterfully done, Hans.
My daughter just brought home a bag of apples in a beautiful green mesh bag. I may have to snitch it from her. :D

I've been admiring your produce bag flies, Hans. I'm ashamed to admit that all the bags I've seen locally are the welded type that are useless for fly dressing. Guess we're just gonna have to move to a classier area.
