People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. (from anonymous poem)

Ella plans to carry her lunch to school in her burlap tote. |
"It's rustic and cute. I'm going to use it to carry
my lunch," said Ella J. (above) at a craft fair in Portola Valley, CA. The middle school 7th grader had to talk her dad
into letting her buy the burlap shopping bag from Tote Your Stuff. "He thinks I shop too much," she said.

"I've been a happy Tote Your Stuff customer for several
years. I love Diane's colorful fabrics and excellent craftsmanship. For a distinctive gift or for personal use, you'll be
happy with a tote, apron or other item from TYS," says Gloria Heistein (above), Santa Clara, CA
"I love many kinds of embroidery and
other needle arts, but you can only put so many on the wall. Plus, the kinds of embroidery I like to experiment with don’t
always match my home décor. For instance, this African embroidery is colorful and exotic, but I don’t have a
colorful and exotic house.
So this is where Diane and
her talent for framing my work with more fabric in a useful way, came into my life. Now my artwork gets more exposure, and
I don’t get too uptight if it doesn’t match the pink blouse I’m wearing." Dee Merrell, Texas

"I
love to tote my stuff in the four one-of-a-kind handbags Diane has made for me. The fabric she has available to select from
is so special, and the pockets and closures are perfect for keeping my "stuff" organized and safe. In addition
to the handbags, I have a great tapestry tote bag, which was a gift and my introduction to Diane's special skill and talent.
Since poppies are one of my favorite flowers, my shopping tote is made from fabric covered with beautiful golden poppies!"

"When I first met Diane and Arlene, my attention was immediately drawn to their
beautifully crafted tote bags. When I found out that they are the designers and creators of Tote Your Stuff, I was eager to
see more. I'm now the proud owner of eight of
their tote bags and have given many to others as gifts. I like to use some of mine as totes; others are the perfect size for
a purse." Judy M. Beggs, Los Altos, CA

Minoo (above), wearing a French tapestry hipster, created the colorful
purses header we use at the top of our home page and at the bottom of other pages (look below). Her recycle art creation
is made of recycled cardboard, packaging cellophane, and fabric scraps. The art piece looks so great that
you would never guess it's made from items most of us discard.

"My Tote Your Stuff treasures are the perfect
combination of handcrafting and professionally made creations. I find one is not enough. You need dressy, dress-down and practical
(foldup, re-useables for shopping). They make unique gifts, too.” Beth, Los Gatos, CA
