All the buds and blossoms are blooming in the garden, it all looks so fresh and lovely. However, my slide film photos had other ideas and captured a more ethereal and dusky scene. I can't believe these pics were taken on a bright sunny Spring day!

I don't think I could make a purse much smaller than this! As a magpie of purse frames of all shapes and sizes I'm gathering quite a collection of different types. This tiny purse would hold a few coins or a special piece of jewellery. Not hugely practical but very sweet. Not currently listed, I'm considering whether to attach a keyring or chain, or to include it as a little extra with a larger clutch.

*excuse my lumpy hand... purse making and guitar playing doesn't make for pretty paws!*

I've become an addict to What Katie Wore, a blog penned by Londoner Joe, portraying his girlfriend Katie's daily wardrobe feats. Quite a task! Her style is fabulous and she carries off colour and style combos that makes black-addicted mortals like me quake in their boots.

Look looky what Katie is wearing today... nice clutch :)

Another new design, this time taking the hipster into a petite little coin purse on a chain. This one features printed leather with the little birdy on both sides... more coming soon.

A couple of new things to share, firstly I'm now offering custom silk labels for my clutch bags - perfect for marking a special occasion or whispering a secret message to a loved one.


Also, I'm going to be adding original printed leathers to the hipster bag range. First up, ethereal flower, (which will have a long chain attachment) and bird on a wire to follow.

Finally, the atom clutch makes a reappearance. Yay!
