Pink, makes the boys wink...So my mother used to tell me...
A little handmade pink bag to grab you some attention!
A rare antique fabric, lined inside with a French toile de jouy, a gathered braid adds a decorative touch, and a vintage French button to fasten.

Another cute little handmade hand bag. This one a patchwork of antique French toile de jouy cottons, lined inside with C19th white linen. An adorable vintage braid trims the top and it fastens with an unusual wooden button and fabric loop. I've added a handmade brooch to the front too.

I've also had fun playing today...Making tatty hearts with a carefree style. They are made from pieces of old maps, antique velvet and lace fragments. I stitched the hearts onto the front of lace-embellished paper pockets...Perfect for storing a few papery treasures or love letters inside.

Making the hearts was a lot of fun, so I went on to add some more to greetings card blanks... Ideal to send to a loved-one with a special heartfelt massage!
I'll be posting on my main blog tomorrow, showing some of the handmade items coming with me to the Original Vintage & Handmade Fashion & Textile Fair on Saturday, at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall. Hope to see you there if you can make it.
