Momma's got a brand new bag

I'm a pretty casual gal and I really needed a new purse.  Most of the bags in the stores that were "doable" had way too much hardware on them for my taste; I turned to etsy, and went the hand made route.  Of course there're tons of etsy shops that sell hand made purses.  This is the one I settled on:

It was made by a great gal in Ohio, creationsbyellyn, and it's reversible. 

These are the items that go in my purse, every day, and they fit in my new bag, perfectly.  I bought the small zip pouches a long time ago from JPATPURSES, also an etsy seller.

After I'd used my new bag for a week or so, I decided I probably wouldn't ever reverse it; I like having the pockets on the inside.  But, I want another one, just like this, but black on the outside; I thought that'd be better for the "winter" months.  I know we don't have much "winter" in SoCal, but I contacted creationsbyellyn, and ordered a 2nd bag with a print, this time paisley, on the inside and solid black on the outside.  It's winging it's way to me, as I type.  She's a wonderful etsy seller.  Stop by and visit her and see what else she has to offer.

Now, here's something funny, when my new bag came, I realized it was the same fabric, only black instead of brown, of one of the tablecloths I'd made!

Thanks for stopping by, we enjoyed having you,
