Well, just before that, I had ordered a bag that I have been wanting for a very long time - probably a year or so. It's handmade - and that is pretty special. It's made by a friend - and I want to support her business. And it's made from recycled fabrics - being green is something that I am pretty passionate about.
So when my husband wanted a new 'toy' - I told him he was only allowed to get it if I could have the bag, finally. He agreed. (Should I mention that the bag was on sale at the time?)

And here is the artist's webpage: Jola V. Designs.
She is also advertising on Facebook here.
And you can see her bags on etsy as well here.
I know her personally, yes - we used to be very good friends and have shared a couple of good times together. We lost track for a few years, but now we found each other again - the internet made it possible.
She is passionate about what she does and dreamed about it pretty much her whole life. She is the one person that I know has found her calling. She is a true artist. (She used to be my fashion coach - and probably still would be if we lived closer.)
I love to see all her creations, so it was kind of hard to choose from all of the wonderful things she has made so far. And each season, I am looking forward to more.
I am a happy customer
and feel blessed that I can surround myself with homemade things.

It is beautiful, Ann!! I'm glad to see it after hearing about it! Really lovely design.
Thank you posting this - and, needless to say, I am glad you like it. -- but I am also taken by your approach to owning things: not too many of them; for no good reason -- only the ones that matter.
