Recycled Record Holder
Well today I had a great idea!
Needed a break from the purses today....& decided to make a RECORD HOLDER. It can be used for your bills, in the bathroom or bedroom for your cosmetics or hair accessories, at the office, a napkin holder, for your remote controls...or whatever!

Cookbook Book Purse
I'm sitting here tonight on my computer & viewing the eclipse of the moon through my window as I work. It's just about half covered right now! My camera isn't that great, but I snapped it anyway.
My creation for today is a COOKBOOK BOOK PURSE. What a neat gift for that special cook!

Retro Fishnet Curtains
My great find at the thrift shop this weekend were some awesome retro daisy accented curtains - in like new condition. Of course anything I buy I need to alter! I couldn't resist them - perfect match to my dining room and I've been searching for something retro for a long time. I cut the top off which was pleated with the old 3-4 prong hooks and used that material for tabs - which gives it a touch of the modern look. Remember the fishnet curtains?? They came in all colours. I found a pair in their original packages! I've been redecorating my home with retro decor lately. I'll show you more photos later on of my findings - spaghetti swag, sphere-shaped pole lamp and matching floor lamp, couch and chair (in like new condition from the 1970's...the plastic was still on the bottom of the couch!) Check back soon...gotta go and craft now.

Nancy Drew Book Purse
I told you I was addicted! This is my latest Nancy Drew Book Purse. The Nancy Drew Mystery Stories by Carolyn Keene were first published in 1930 by Grosset and Dunlap. My Nancy Drew purses are of the 1960-70's series. The early Nancy Drew is smart, adventurous, flippant, and daring. She has captured our imagination and our spirit for mystery.
One of my customers response after receiving her book purse was: "this is an absolute darling :) i brought it out to the shops the moment i received in the mail n got many ooohs n aahs n admiring looks"

MORE BOOK PURSES
Happy Valentine's Day! For the last few days I've created a few more book purses: Beauty and the Beast and Black Beauty. I realized today that I do have an addiction to making these purses! I love making them - each is unique and one-of-a-kind. I can't wait to see the end result and then I can't wait to start another!
