And . . . (drum roll) another bag!
This one's got a sweet 30's vibe with polka-dots and rick-rack which always seem so hip and happy. The flower print is from RJR "everything but the kitchen sink" line. The plaid is a new dishtowel I chopped for another project. It's super satisfying to get more mileage out of it. I like it!
the surpise is in the mail! Squeek!!

Sweet bag. I love rick-rack! I'm not sure where you live, but I buy vintage rick-rack at Knittn Kitten in NE Portland. http://www.knittnkitten.com/

I've been doing lots of looking lately, and it is hard to find nice, happy polka dots and stripes. I'd love to know if you find some sources.

Your bags are so gorgeous. There's something about the texture of the fabric too that is driving my crazy with delight.
Excellent work. A dishtowel!! Genius.

Loving those dots. They look so great all stacked up.

Vicki,
I've had several visitors to a recent blog post I did about rickrack that mentioned this blog - so that's how I found you. But I know you already from Ebay. I purchased several patterns from you a couple of years ago. So, hello! Wanted to mention that I sell vintage buttons and trims on my website in addition to the pillows I make. I have two colors of vintage rickrack - medium blue and red - in a very tiny size - 1/4", I think. Lately I've been using lots of the jumbo size for tea towels so decided to sell off my tiny stuff. I have lots so would be open to trading, too.

I LOVE the dots, and would love to know who makes it. I would also be interested in trading. I mostly order wholesale, so I have quite a bit of spare yardage around (spare yardage would be about 150 bolts, LOL). Feel free to email me :)
