Buyer Appreciation - Thanks, Candace!

I made a purse that I called the Royal Ohm Purse...I put a lot of thought and care into it and I truly loved that purse. I had hand-embroidered the ohm symbol, and sewed many semi-precious stones on the front and back. Well, a lovely lady recently purchased it, and she sent me wonderful photos which she said I could share.

She sent me an email that really touched and flattered me and I know she will take great care of the Royal Ohm Purse. Namaste, Candace!

Royal Blue Elephant Ganesh Scarf

I think this is the scarf I want to make a bag out of first. Isn't this a lovely royal blue?

And I love the elephants...I'm told that the elephant is Ganesh.

That lovely border part will look so cool at the top of the bag. I'll be shoring up this fabric with some sturdy denim or broadcloth so the bag will be able to stand lots of wear.

I'll post the finished product!

An Incredible Gift!

I had a lovely weekend at a gathering of friends I hadn't seen for a while.

What a pleasant surprise, one of them brought mounds of scarves, many of which were made in India.

I was so excited! I chose a emerald green one, with shiny silver embroidery and sequins; a red, blue, tan, yellow scarf with elephants and a lovely border; and an incredibly vivid aqua scarf among others.

Some of these I will make into incredibly unique bags, I can't wait!
