I love this photo from the 1940s. I have two brown paper carrier bags with string handles like the one Maggie is carrying....a plain one and one with an advert for a butcher's shop printed on it. Everyone used to have one hung on a nail or a hook behind the back door when I was a little girl in the late 1950s.

I remember the carrier bags were 3 old pennies at one time.
You would never see a brown carrier bag hanging on a tree in those days! Or thrown away to be blown about.
