A Little Birdie Told Me



Remember that coat? (scroll down past the bit about the business cards)

Well, I still have a few pieces left. Enough to pair with some of those fantastic circles from Kim Z.


Enough for a zany little bird on the border.


(that's a pic of the strap- I combined some dots, some coat lining, a wildly wonderful bit of paisley, and some solid blue)

The turquoise goes great with purple cord, some teale scraps, and of course, the dots.


On the reverse side of the flap, you can see the stitching detail with shows up on the turquoise leather.




Cheeky little birdie.


Inside out shots: gives you a better view of what the pockets are like.


Would you believe me if I told you that I still have numerous pieces of amazingness that are yet unexplored? Well, believe it.

Thank you Melodie- this bag is perfect for you. A piece of your bird loving grandma.
