BZB you will be busy now!

Brumington I love those bags. Jo what are you like at scoring goals?

Oh I am a secret NBA star, Cookie! Of course, it's only set at about 2m high, so maybe not 
We already have a b/ball hoop attached to garage at the adult regulation 3.05m height, but DS hasn't got a hope of getting it in there. Now he can actually practice and feel he's getting somewhere

I'm about to do some painting too (my whole house )  so I'm interested to hear how they go... My dad used to use something similar for edges but I found he sometimes made stripes with them... I think it was human error though!

This is where I bought them from. If you choose your size from the drop down menu the price is displayed in the blue box underneath.  Freight is free.

I paid $34 for a large.

Hi  Brummington,
The bags look gorgeous - but I am a little confused as to what they are used for.  Do you use them to actually store the bread in (like a bread bin), or are they more a way of displaying / serving the bread at the table when you are ready to eat it?

At the moment, I just store my homemade bread in a plastic bag on the kitchen bench.  Doesnt look glamorous, but stops it drying out.  If these bags are good for actually storing the bread in, then I am very interested!

Thanks Brumington. I was thinking over the weekend I might have a look at some of the shops listed on their stockists page but that website looks great.

I like the look of the bags. Karen if I stored my bread in a plastic bag it would be mouldy in a day here. I use a microfiber cleaning cloth and it is good for about  5 days if the bread lasts that long. The crap wettish bread from the stores last only a day here and I have to keep it in the fridge where it grows dry and nasty so the bags seem a good solution.

My dad swears by this too! I will be very interested in your thoughts too Maddy as the new house needs some paining done ... I don't much like the colour scheme but it is liveable.  Moving day is tomorrow

Karen I'm thinking more as a decorative touch. I make the Parmesan bread sticks a lot for visitors and always looking for something to stand them in and the smaller of these bags look like they would be perfect.

Love the look of the washable bags for bread..

Just received the August/September Donna Hay Magazine. This is the last of my subscription.
I was very excited when I opened it - a thicker, heavier duty cardboard cover.

I'm now up to pg 47.
33 of those are advertisement pages.
6 are the editor's letter, Donna's list of needs and wants (which I love) and contents pages.
8 pages of recipes.

Will see what the rest of the magazine brings but am seriously considering whether or not to renew my subscription.
