New bags and a clever box
Last week I was trying to figure out a better way to present some of creations at craftfairs. While browing flickr I saw a lady who had converted a large box into a sort of carry case cum display and it got me thinking.
Isn’t it fab! I bought this box, full of old starched collars years and years ago because, well, its gorgeous isn’t it, the history behind it, who was Mr and who starched his collars? But it got to the point when I thought I really can’t just look at it anymore and as much as it hurt to mark it, I did it and I’m really pleased with it!
And some photos of my new bags. I love making these, it’s my own pattern too. I spend far too long matching bits of fabric together (and yes, its craft neutral, all are from my stash or charity shop finds, actually, apart from the magnetic clasps uh oh!) and them embellishing them with bits of ribbon, crochet or buttons. I think they would be perfect for a summer wedding and will be going in my new etsy shop soon!
Tourchon Clutch
Dottie Clutch
Lily Clutch
Cherry Clutch
And finally Buttonista Clutch.
Right, I’m off to play with my fabrics again!
it is very clever box indeed, I made a display from a frame after broken mirror, looks cool too
just loving all your bags, they are very pretty and original
ooh i love the bags – think Lily is my favorite! That’s a good idea for a display case, it looks really good!
Oooh I like your clutch bags very much! Very different! Great box idea too!
That display box is brilliant! So different and eyecatching – a great bit of repurposing!! And I love your new clutch bags too – so, so pretty, I don’t normally like brown but I think that first one is my favourite!

That box is a brilliant idea I have been searching for a vintage suitcase to create something similar.
Very clever box use. And those Bags !!!!! They are beautiful. Wish i was going to a wedding to have an excuse to have one!!! Love the Buttonista one (maybe cos its pink!!). Great stuff.
