A single little bird was sitting on a branch joyfully singing to the world when I approached a large tree on one of my walks in the woods. The little bird was so happy and chirping so loudly that I wanted to capture that moment on one of my purses.

I have appliqued a branch and leaves made of Ultra Suede to the purse and a hand drawn bird is also appliqued to complete the design.

****** No animals or trees were harmed in the making of my bags. The applique is made of Ultra Suede and the wood button are made of fallen wood on the forest floor so that Nature was not harmed in creating my bags.

Handmade at my cabin in the mountains of East Tennessee! My bags are inspired by the countryside around me. Quality eco-friendly fabrics such as, ultra-suede, linen, and canvas are used in my bags. I use a heavy duty thread on my bags to ensure they will last for many years to come. Wooden buttons from fallen trees around my home are used to add a one of a kind rustic detail.

Each creation is handmade by me, in my home with no helpers. I pride my business on fashion, quality, and durability. Every bag is made to order, so each is a SPECIAL CREATION just for YOU!

Creating my bags is a time consuming, but rewarding process. I draw inspiration from fabrics and nature, then begin to draw out my design on paper. I create a pattern for the bag. After choosing the perfect colors and fabrics, I hand cut the bag, interface stiffener, strap, and appliques. The amount of interface stiffener that goes into my bags depends on the size and shape of the bag to give it structure so that it does not fold over. After the interface stiffener is applied, the intricate applique is cut and sewn by machine. Pockets and zippers are added where needed for function and ease of finding your items. Finally the pieces of the bag start to come together, adjustable straps, buttons, key chains, and other embellishments are added. I go into the woods near my home to collect fallen limbs for the buttons. I slice the buttons, drill the holes, and apply a sealant to bring out the natural beauty of the grain in the wood.

My bags are all packaged and shipped with care. I stuff them with gift tissue to ensure they don't get flattened during shipping. They arrive wrapped and tied with a bow. If you are giving as a gift the wrapping is already done!

As you can see, several hours of craftsmanship goes into each bag. So please be patient and know that I am taking my time to give YOUR SPECIAL CREATION the time and attention to detail that IT deserves.

Thank you for stopping by my shop and I hope that you saw something that gave you a warm cozy feeling!
