Purse problems resolved

Kate can pull it off.  Some of us simply cannot.  

I would look, and more importantly, feel totally lame if I carried a smart hand-held bag as she so successfully does on a daily basis.

Kate could clutch a dead squirrel and still look stunning.

And, I would undoubtedly leave my cute purse somewhere if it wasn't actually attached to my body.   

Enter the beaded cross-body bag. 

Why not the shorter, over-the-shoulder variety? Tried that. Tuns out that they roll off shoulders onto the ground. 

Where to gather what you need?  Local bead shops, shows, resale shops, estate sales.  Or simply repurpose necklaces/bracelets that you no longer wear.

I loved the process as well as the resulting products.

Here's to carving out more time to be creative and to play with possibilities!
