We are very fortunate to be involved in a community that is filled with so many incredibly talented people. Just before Rhinebeck, I received a blog comment from my friend Marcia and we chatted back and forth a bit. I can't remember how the topic of Marcia making jewelry came up, but when it did, I asked Marcia if she had any pictures of her work. She sent me a few pictures and I fell head over heels in love with one of her bracelets. Needless to say I asked if she could make me one and what you see is what she sent to me……….it's beautiful!
The quality of the workmanship is impeccable right down to the beautiful clasp….I really love having it! Thank you Marcia!

Another very recent purchase was this pretty bag from Jessalu. My husband will be very happy to tell you that I absolutely do not need any new bags, but ………..
how in the world could I resist this? The bag is made with a striking Amy Butler fabric on the outside and a coordinating print on the inside.
I may have been able to pass this little bag by until I saw Jessalu's signature zipper pull……..a beeutiful bee! It goes without saying, that little bee caught me hook, line and sinker.
It's the perfect size for a pair of socks or something small that you might be working on….or a little travel bag. Thanks Jessalu!
Yep….we are very fortunate to have such talent amongst us and what better way to support the economy then by supporting our friends 🙂

The bracelette is stunning! Amy Butler fabric makes everything prettier. You can never have too many bags… I’m sure that must be a rule or something?! 🙂

Do you mean Marcia of Spinerella fame? The link doesn’t seem to work. I know she makes jewelry and someday I’d love to have a piece of hers, too.
