I also have bought many beautiful shams because I have seen the beauty and know what can be done with them. Your bag is really pretty. Thanks for the pictures.

After 43 years of marriage, he knows better than to even THINK about giving me that look...he knows I don't look at things the same way others do.

The ribbon pull goes on most of my zippers, especially inside. I do it because I hate looking for that little pull, so figured others would feel the same way. It's just one of my little touches. I PLAY with purses to get away from the craft booth items & quilting...I get bored easily & that's why my creations are "Exclusively, Just One Of A Kind"...I only make one of anything exactly alike. Keeps life interesting anyway!

Thanks. And, no, I only have about 4 purses for myself. I sell most of what I make.

That was the first time I bought shams...never looked at them that way till I saw these...guess I'll be looking for more unique ones from now on!

Now I know what to do with them.
