People used to think of burlap simply as a functional material to carry grains and other foods and supplies in. Not any more… Artists today are finding beautiful ways to incorporate this once “rustic” material in to gorgeous home accessories.

From handbags to table runners, pillows and sacks, burlap is being adorned with whimsical images, decorative detailing and French texts, making them a must have in your cottage, chateau or beach home.

  10. Very Nice! I have been looking for one that I saw that was oblong and read, I'm in the Garden, which would be great to sit in my chair and explain to hubby where I am most of the time in the growing seasons, lol... Maybe I'll get lucky and find one on Etsy.
