Time For a Spring Bag!

Hello!

Well, it's official...
it has been the 2nd snowiest February
in Chicago history.
Of course it is...
because I moved here!
Sooo tired of the snow!
Now we are keeping our fingers crossed
that the snowstorm forming, for Thursday,
heads SOUTH of us!!!

Playing with Polyvore though,
has helped me think about
what to do with my wardrobe this spring.
Here is a clutch bag that I thought
would go well with some of the things I
currently own...


It's very light weight.
Made out of linen and lined with a satin material.
It's large enough to tuck in a cell phone,
a small wallet and lipstick.


I dressed it up a bit with some vintage buttons.
Very much me!
It took a little bit to do because I hid the stitches
between the layers of linen and satin.
So the inside is still pretty! : )

Here is Emma...
she's looking at me with the face that says...
"Are you done yet Mom? I wanna cuddle on the couch now, pwease."
Who can resist this face and a gloomy day?
Not me!


Have a wonderful day!!!
 I'll be cuddling on the couch with ha very content bully!
Hugs!

I like the way you decorated the bag, it looks so pretty. Maybe Emma would like a nice little sweater with vintage buttons to stay warm? Sorry about the snow ... you might not want to read what I just posted on my blog :o)

I love that bag, it is so pretty. I imagine it took a long time to sew the buttons. It's the little added touches that make the bag your own! I hope the snow passes to the south.
