I first 'met' Trish at Sew Weekly. She lives in Wellington, New Zealand. When I saw her it struck me how much she resembled 'Eunice' (now there's a name you don't come across much these days ...). She was an old friend of my mother's and there are lots of photos of her from the 50's in a box of memories we have. I really must find one so you can see for yourself the resemblance.
Anyway, that isn't really what this post is about. What I really admire about Trish and her style is the way she puts things together and this includes her handbags! Particularly wicker ones. Look at this one - photo from Sew Weekly website, just for reference I might add ...
Well I happened to mention on Facebook (my new toy ...) that I bought one through being inspired by her and she wanted to see so here it is!
Not a vintage one sadly, but from Laura Ashley of all places. I just couldn't leave it behind, so it's all your fault Trish! I love it though and will so enjoy using it this summer (if we ever get one that is!).
Diane, I love your new purse and Trish's purse as well. She did some pretty stuff on Sew Weekly..
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your purse..
I keep forgetting about the different words you have for things over there Judy ... we call a 'purse' the thing you keep your money in inside your handbag!
Deletewill be lovely for the summer!
ReplyDeleteHope we get a summer Charlotte!
