Maybe I'll make a tote bag instead. A very, very, very large tote bag....

Adventures in CoffeeLand
I'm so clever. I keep accumulating interesting coffee bags. I recently finished off coffee from Maui (yes, Miss J.La, it IS as good as Kona coffee) and from Alaska (coffee from Alaska? Who knew... And yes, it is also very excellent!)
My cleverness came into play when I decided to order a burlap coffee bag and make a book cover for my coffee book (you know, the coffee book I am going to make some time in the future). But I'm not as clever as I thought. Evidently I did not read the description of the burlap bag very closely.
See that little wooden stick in the middle of the picture? That's a 12 inch ruler. So the burlap bag is the size that Juan Valdez throws on the back of his donkey. We are talking very large. A couple of coffee beans even fell out when I unfolded it and held it up!

Or store your coffee bags in it.
Thanks for this posting. It brought a smile to my face and an out loud chuckle when I read the 'little' stick was a 12" ruler. Too funny!
But look at it this way, you can make multiple books with this one bag.
So glad you enjoyed the coffee. I'll be on the look out for pouches of coffee with interesting graphics for your up and coming coffee book.
Hmm, does burlap shrink in hot water? I'm looking forward to seeing what your "coffee book" will look like. -- Have you tried "Lion Coffee" from Hawaii? Very vivid red bag. I save the little gold clips at the top. Don't know why. If you like, I can save you the next bag.
