A friend at work bought a cute clutch/purse today from MayasKalupi :::
It's a bit like this one
When she said that she wanted a coin purse in the same fabric, I went on the hunt and found some :::

I also bought the same fabric in green :::
When the fabric arrives we plan to start designing and making coin purses, clutches, wallets ... Anna's purse will be the prototype.
I also bought this lovely bag. It's velvet in a browny grey - a bit like a mushroom was how they described it :::
{Yum! from bayanhippo}
And I chose this print :::
{from the lovely people at inaluxe}
And then, I treated myself ... I shut my eyes and clicked on this one - isn't it lovely? And it's from Bondi, close to home!!

I love the fact that it is black and white, it looks a bit like a scandinavian needlepoint design and there are tiny pineapples as part of the motif. That reminds me of Marblehead, Massachusetts - many people had wonderful gilt pineapples over their front doors, or sometimes they had gilt fish or even whales. This purse is screen printed on hemp and is lined with black taffeta. Very very nice. It should arrive quite quickly if it's coming from Bondi!
I'm travelling interstate tomorrow, not on a holiday but to see my father. He is in hospital as he unfortunately broke his ankle last night and has just been operated on tonight. Dad and my brother have been on a lovely driving holiday together this week, so this is a really unfortunate accident. I have just heard that he is out of theatre and is doing well, but now has pins and a plate in his ankle. Dad is 87 but he is a very fit and hearty 87 year old with a great outlook on life so we hope he will recover speedily. It will be a slow process though, as I think ankles are tricky.
So, no blogging for a little while ... see you in a few days.
