Not So Wordless Wednesday – Batik

posted in sewing |

Isn’t this gorgeous? This is my new purse that I am personally using. This was hand made by my sister Karen and you can see more of her beautiful work in her shop, Kreated by Karen.

I love this bag, it has a ton of pockets inside and a nifty pocket on the back where I can easily slide my cell phone in and out. I’ve been using this purse now for about 2 weeks and I am so happy with it. I was with Karen in Paducah when she purchased this beautiful batik fabric and I hinted to her that I would love to have the purse she was going to make with it. Next thing I new, a box was on my doorstep and inside was this beautiful bag.

Thank you Karen!

    Hi Lynne – Love your site! I am a journalist and writing a story for a national mag about the World’s Longest Yardsale; I saw your comment on another site that a couple of your family members participate every year. I would love to do a short interview with them to help get the word out about the event? Can you e-mail me and I can send more info? Thanks so much! [I would have emailed you directly, but couldn't find an email link on the site anywhere.]

    Kari – I do have a nephew and his wife that live in Tennessee. They have participated (and shopped) that yardsale for a number of years. Feel free to email me your information and I’d be happy to forward it to them.
