Happy Sacks co-<acronym title="original posters">op</acronym>

I just spoke with the woman who owns Happy Sacks...a mom like us who started her own business which is BOOMING now.

Here is the deal if we did a co-op.

12-23 bags (any sizes/combo) and we would get 10% off
24-47 bags (any sizes/combo) and we would get 15% off
48+ bags (any sizes/combo) and we would get 20% off
happy-sacks

Shipping to me would be under $10 so I would ask for $1 as the co-op fee to cover that cost and envelopes to ship to you. Then I'd ask for the actual shipping to you.

Some drawbacks - business is so great she has a 3-4 week turnaround time. And she can't guarantee your fabric choice since she is not yet buying fabric in bulk (she's in the process but won't be ready for a few weeks). You can request a fabric and she will try, but she also wants you to specify boy, girl or neutral in case she doesn't have it.

What do you think? LMK if you're interested.

Also, I saw that they have bags big enough for a loaf of bread!

she has lots of pictures of the fabrics, but nothing I can find that shows what the bags look like

Does it really work to machine dry them? I accidentally machine dried one of our wrap-n-gos and it was a disaster.

I would be very interested, though... I usually use tupperware/reusable plastic for everything that's not a sandwich in G's lunch, but would love to use fabric instead!

They are the actual bags, not fabric swatches. They are like a square fabric envelope with a velcro closure.

Aah, then not what I want at all. I have the sandwich wrap from reusablebags.com that is like that, but I really want small muslin drawstring ones for little stuff/snacks.

Frontier carries them but I don't think they would be small enough for what you want.

She has a small snack size, but it looks more like a pouch ..

I would love these, but my preschool only lets us bring things in disposable wrappers/containers...they even reiterated that today and will not make exceptions due to licensing regulations. They have to throw everything away after the meal.

So much for saving the world!
