Tree of Life


Inside pockets.


Rear view, and strap. both African fabrics.


three small pockets on the front, under the flap.

side views.

Amazing tree- the flap. embellished with tiny black buttons.

See?



What I said early this morning....
I am still sewing some buttons onto that tree, so I'm not quite ready to go the way of the whole photo shoot.

So, here's an appetizer. Its another Africa bag- Barundi again, I believe. And she's a beauty.


And no, all these buttons are not going onto the bag.... they are just a sampling of what I sifted through to find just the right ones.

May this tree return its fruit to the country from whence it came.
Bag is sized: 11" deep and 13" across.
bids please until 8 pm, cst.

Hi ya Joyce! Oh how I love this bag! I am wishing I had my Christmas money already... and wishing it was a tad bigger to use as a diaper bag one day! Please save some Africa fabric for after Christmas!!!
