New Line of Dress Up Bags!

These are some of my most favorite bags...I pulled out all the stops, and made they exactly as I thought they should...They actually hold a lot of stuff for a small purse because of the relatively wide bottom.  and they look so cute on your wrist!

Check out these bags on my Etsy shops!

The Call of the Wild - Zebra (part 1)

What is the allure of animal prints anyway?  We not only love to clothe ourselves in them, but see the other ways we've wrapped ourselves in them!

This is a cute little number to put a gift in! http:/www.nashvillewraps.com/basket-supplies/gable-gift-boxes/sku-zebgb.html

My Favorite !Bling! of all Time (number 5 of 5)

Okay, this is the grand finale, 5 of 5 favorite blings--drumroll, please!

This is what happens when it comes all together, and this bag was definitely meant to be.

All of the bling on this purse, and there's a lot of it, I acquired at different times, and none of it in the conventional ways. I was given the buttons and leather strips (love those buttons!), the feathers I bought at an estate sale, the beads and flower strips at a garage sale. What was cool is that I used practically everything of each of these items and it worked out perfectly.

There's a ton of hand sewing in this bag--the beads, feather boa, each petal tip on the flowers and of course, the buttons...it took hours but it was worth it.

This bag was a show stopper.

Here Comes the Sun!

I just finished this large yellow cozy bag--and I'm in love with the colors and offbeat look.

I hand sewed a large vintage 80's piece of jewelry on the flap, and I was thrilled that it coordinated with the circles on the black cotton lining. The used yellow on the inside pocket to micmic the yellow fur (and it's also easier to see inside the pocket). The inky black handle and flap are made with faux suede--

I double or triple stitch all my seams in these large bags for extra durability, and of course, all the seams are nicely finished. This bag will truly be different in every way.

What a a fun, funky bag!

Have you ever seen a 7" bird charm?

I took this bird off a necklace that I bought at an estate sale. I looked all over the internet to find another huge bird like this. I only found one and they called it a runway piece. Hmmmm?

Anyway, take a look, this is pretty cool. I love how the ruby red eyes match the vintage upholstery fabric of the bag.
