soft like a baby's bottom...hee-hee


i found some great quilted place mats at savers (thrift store) and when combined with my re:use stash i came up with these soft purses for my collection of fabric (eco-friendly) bags. chosen for their bright colors there's something very comfy-cozy about them. i love them!

the green blackbird purse has a strap made from a white/green/tan striped canvas belt, which i printed a tree on. the inside and outside of the purse has pockets made of reclaimed suede and the exterior decorated with a blackbird and flowers (kept closed with velcro). the purse closes on top with a silk cord and big vintage button.

dimensions: 12" x 8" and strap is 22"

the sunshine purse is a soft yellow omelet shaped bag and it's strap is made from a vintage silk necktie. the inside is a brown floral pattern and outside is a bright yellow (w/ white polka-dots) with it's resident skunk smelling some flowers.

dimensions: 13" x 7" and strap is 22"

they are both oh-so perfect for holding everything you need and more...beautiful, sturdy, washable and eco-friendly!!!
