Every September Findlay Market has a charity event called “Taste of Findlay” including an auction of items donated by its various vendors.
Last year, Carolyn made a tablecloth and napkins using her exclusive Cincy1 fabric.
This year she is making something more challenging - an 80” by 80”quilt using Charley Harper’s images.
Once finished, it will be on display in her shop until time for the auction.

In 2005, disturbed by the blight of the throw-a-way plastic bags, Carolyn decided to make a few cotton tote bags for her family. Soon her children were asking for cotton bags for their friends. Then their friends began asking for bags for their friends.

Twenty-one years later, she has expanded into other 100% cotton products as well carrying a wide variety of products based on the artwork of the renowned artist and environmentalist, Charley Harper. But the core of her work is still the cotton grocery/tote bag.

To date, Carolyn has sold more than 13,600 cotton bags through her shop at Findlay Market. A conservative estimate is that these bags represent a reduction of 9.8 million throw-a-way plastic bags.

Happy Earth Day!

Carolyn’s latest creation just for our Bearcat fans.
Fantastic canvas! Reminiscent of the cotton canvas Bengals fabric that was around for a very limited time, a phenomenal canvas for cooking and grilling out.
Only enough fabric for 5 aprons right now, but hopefully will order more as lucky UC graduates see this one.
