For the shop or not!!!!

A quick drop in this evening to show you my new bag.
I'm desperately trying to use up a mountain of good size scraps, 
just the excuse I need to give myself a push to stock up my Etsy shop


Hope the pics are clear, the light is a disaster at the moment.



Some nice hardware, curtesy of some old bags 


What cha think would the cute butterfly look good????
I made it for my holiday to Rome TOMORROW yeah!!!!!!!
But now I think I'll sell it instead, have a mountain of bags already, def do not need
another, so I'll sell !!!!!

Also this week we had a birthday in the house, Ella turned 9.
Oh my don't you sometimes wish you could keep them small forever.....
Still its a delight to see her grow & change & get prettier.
It was a lovely day


We took her & her wee friends out for pizza & then back home for 


Yummy brownie cake with buttercream & chocolate eggs yum!!!!


Birthday girl loved it, so did I.....


A lot.......
Any hoo this is gonna be a short post, more pics than chat, I'm still packing
for tomorrow, we are off to Italy for 10 days....Bliss :)
Lots of relaxation, eating, sight seeing, swimming.........& lots of fun
See you all in two weeks
Lots of love Karen xxxxxxxxxxxxx

  10. Love the bags and although the cake looks lovely I think this is one time that a bag wins over chocolate cake!
