I have always enjoyed creating and designing for pleasure since I can remember. All the women's accessories are handmade by me. That includes evening bags and totes to knitwear such as shawls and wraps. My new found love has been in woodworking. I have come to appreciate the beauty of wood and have created shawl pins which go beautifully on a wrap, shawl or scarf. No two designs are alike therefore this website only shows a sampling of my work. I will leave my items up even though they have sold so that you can see previous work. On my website you will find a wide variety of handbag styles. As ladies we all have our own style therefore not every handbag is suited for everyone or one style. My hope is that you will see something that will compliment that special outfit.
My materials range from a variety of fabrics, leather, metals and yarns made of Bamboo, Tencel (trees that are grown specifically for their fibers and spun into yarn) and Sari Silk (Sari's from India have been deconstructed and spun into yarn). Much of the Indian fabrics I use are made in the United States by a small family owned business "Handloom batik" located on the upper Hudson River New York. I have become quite fond of Usha who represents the product at various quilt shows throughout the country. Her quite gentleness, calm and smile makes the miles I travel to see her all worth it not to mention her fabulous assortment of fabric, embellishments, silks and wood stamps.
The antique buttons you see on my pieces were collected by my sister Eleanor. She is the designer of various handbags and scarfs (we share our love of purses, you can never have enough! She is an amazing quilter, avid bicyclist, climber, gardener and the list goes on! I am lucky she shares her inspirations (and buttons!) with me. She is my connection and inspiration to another world of accessories and style.
We hope you enjoy our creations!
