Melissa Vest Designs has a plethora of BIG (15"x18"x6") TOTE BAGS, which are useful for just about anything that needs toting. Some of them have snarky messages, and some of them are contemplative, but they are each a unique statement in the form of functional art!
You might recognize this Grocery Getter Red Bicycle Tote Bag from the April Issue of Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine!
These cotton tote bags are made in the USA and are embellished via a direct printing process which dyes the design right into the fibers.
Look at this design, perfect for snagging hotties at the co-op. If co-ops have hotties. Not all of them do. Nevertheless, it is always good to be prepared:
Get Fresh With Me! *insert kitten pur here*. That could work some magic. Watch out now! Fresh food is good, too, but everyone loves a little double entendre. There are a lot of little jewels in Melissa Vest's Designs, but I want you to browse the 91 different totes and unearth them yourself!
Melissa Vest Designs donates one dollar from the sale of every tote bag in her etsy shop to a local food bank project. So far Melissa Vest Designs donations have purchased two flats of corn, one flat of soup, and one flat of peanut butter from the proceeds! That is a fantastic start! It is great to support those who support the suffering!
Melissa Vest Designs is giving away a Grocery Getter Red Bicycle Tote Bag (retail $24.00) to one lucky My Greening Reader!

Oooh, ooh, pick me! I'm a huge tote bag user (I say so all the time on my blog, I promise)!! :D I love them all! Pass the Peace Please! is pretty cool! Thanks!
I really liked Peace, Love, the Earth and Artsy Fartsy. Actually I really liked a whole bunch of them!
I like the explosion of hearts tote!
I'm supposed to choose just one? I love them all, but the "Pass the Peace" tote is very me. It's also very creative! Melissa is very talented:)
So many of those designs are just darling! I like "Environmentally Friendly" and "Cotton is sexier than plastic." Thanks!
"Heart explosion" or "I'm feeling frisky"? How to decide, how to decide...
"Heart Explosion", definitely, it's awesome.
I like the peace, love, earth grocery tote bag. Great giveaway, thanks!
I like the explosion of hearts.

My top two are Green Style High Heel and Orange Poppy.
The orange poppy is pretty but I also like the Environmentally friendly eye-chart bag - especially because people will be drawn to try and read it - spreading the green word!
I like the "pass the peace please" tote.
momabr@yahoo.com
I love the two you profiled here, but since I need to pick a completely different one, I guess it would be the Peace, Love, the Earth one.

My nickname as a kid was Bumblebee, so I gotta go with that one. Love them all though! Bee Green!
I like New York City Girl and Pass the Peace Please Tote Bags. These are great!!! Thanks!
The New York City girl and the Poppy designs are my favorite. Thanks!
Love the 'feeling frisky' tote!
I love peace love and earth! Very cute and very handy, as we've tried to cut out 90% of our non-reusable bags in this house...
These are some of the nicest grocery totes I've seen to date. I like the Orange Poppy design.
Orange Poppy Tote is my favorite.
I love the Make Art Not War Tote! But I would love the grocery getter tote! Thats what my siblings and I called my moms old station wagon!

recyclebin@att.net
I really like the bee design because there is a shortage of bees out there and I think that would also bring attention to that as well. Plus it's adorable!
my favorite is the "pass the peace, please" i always loved that play on words
I love the green is groovy one. I still love lava lamps, my daughter took mine and uses it as her night light now.
I think "Get Fresh with Me" is hilarious, but I think since I ride my bike (to get groceries, even with a kid on board!) in Mad City, I vote for Madison Chick.
I loved the "cotton is sexier than plastic" tote design.
I love the eye chart one! All tho all are totally cute!
Very cool totes. My favorites are 'Make Art Not War', Big Peace and 'Colorful Hearts'.
Thanks for having the contest.
I love the yummy vegetarian design!!! Not only do I love cupcakes, but I do believe that it is yummy to be vegetarian! What a great design!
I really like the Pass the Peace Please Tote Bag.
Thanks!

"Green Style High Heels in Bloom Tote Bag"--- like that one a lot!
Great totes! I could spend a lot of time in your shop.
My idea would be to add the shop logo's on the bag as a means of advertising their shop. If my logo could be added to a bag, I'd buy it.

Blue Hydrangea Tote Bag is so pretty (wow 91 bags to look at)
