Little Embroidery Inspiration

This whole post is inspired by The Purl Bee's post Molly's Sketchbook: Sashiko Mini Tote (or Apron) Kit

Holy cows, I LOVE THIS BAG! It is beautiful and so inspiring. I want to go make one. It also got me curious to see what everyone else is doing with embroidery and tote bags. Here are a few that I found on Etsy. . .
