Lovely Purses

Hi everyone!  do you love purses?  I do.  purses, shoes.  Oh they make my heart beat a little faster.....

While my daughter Katrina was here, her friend took her to Turnstyle  I had never heard of it.  they are located in AZ, CO, and MN.  yeah!!!  Katrina bought a Vera Wang leather purse I wanted sooooo bad!  She took it home with her.  sigh...... 

Well, I was going by one of the shops the other day.  And I thought, well, maybe I could find a treasure there. 

 
this is a Big Buddha purse.  Oh my!


this one is from the Gap and it's pink.  so it just  jumped into my hands. it has cherries in the lining. 

 You will never guess what I paid for both purses.  are you ready?  I paid $12. 89 for BOTH purses!!!!  I was a happy girl! 

hugs...

Don't you love a new purse?

Hi Everyone!  Remember I said I had one more thing that Mardi made? 

Well, here is the back story......  several months ago, we all were at the 3 Dudes Quilt shop.  Cyndi was buying some Jo Morton Fabric.  I usually don't go for a line of fabric, being the scrappy girl I am.  but I saw this and fell in love.  I can't even tell you what the name of the line is.  I just know it's from Jo Morton.  As I was walking around in the shop, I spied a purse.  the pattern was by Penny Sturgess.  Carol Ann's Tote  then the light bulb went off.  That fabric I fell in love with and this pattern!  A perfect pairing. 

Well, I bought fabric and the pattern.  brought it home and there it sat in the bag.  Sigh.....  fast forward a few months.....  Mardi asked if I had any new purse/totes patterns that would be good for a class.  Oh yeah, Mardi.  I even have the fabric.  So sweet dear Mardi would make up my purse for me, if she could keep it till she taught her class....  Mardi is such a perfectionist.  her stitching is perfect. 

So while we all are talking and laughing, Mardi brings this out!



 
Mardi knows someone who makes these buttons.  it is perfect! 
 
 
See that button in there?  last Christmas I gave everyone wooden buttons with there names on them.  Mardi used one here, kind of like a label!  Oh Mardi, Thank you so much for my bag.  She will be teaching it next month if anyone is interested. 

Hugs......
