vintage florals - shop update

floral coin purse


I've been having fun this week, setting up these little photo shoots of my work. My mum found this vintage book on alpine flowers in a charity shop and it's made the prefect backdrop for my handmade purses.
It's a beautiful book, I love how the flowers, berries and leaves on each page match the colours in the fabrics I have used.

 All these pieces are now for sale in my Folksy Shop, which I have been updating over the last few days. I'd love to know what you think?

This bronze silk envelope purse is one of my favourites. I've been saving the vintage lace flower motif for something special, and when I found this beautiful bronze silk I thought it would be just right. I've embellished it with a few glass seed beads and pearls, I love the simplicity of this design.

Just to let you know, that my silver silk and vintage lace clutch purse has been featured in the online magazine 'UK Handmade', as part of their jewellery and accessories showcase which features gorgeous handmade products from designer/makers from across the UK, all very exciting.
Have a lovely weekend....

    I love that peachy raspberry color! m.m.m.m yummy! your bags are so cute and wonderfully photoed {if that is a word?} I've tried the kiss clasp in the past and got so frustrated with it . and hate to say gave up on it . your little bags are so cute you have inspired me to give it another go. :)

      Thanks Lisa, The kiss clasps are very tricky, took me ages to get the pattern right.
