I especially love when a sort of repartee arises in the Comments of a post- it amuses me, and also it somehow draws the big wide world in a little. Is that selfish? For instance yesterday I discovered that Jane gets her buttons from Ruth whom I just discovered, and she's here in Limerick! How 'small world' is that? (sing together now- 'It's a small world after all, Its a small world after all...small,small,world!')
And another thing...
(whilst I'm on the subject of Connections)
(yeh, yeh, there always is 'another thing')
...if Amanda thinks I'm a bad influence, Jingle is WORSE!
There's me all chuffed with myself for starting a facebook site, and then I visit Jingle and she had a 'fan page widget' so, not to be outdone, I trundle off to get me one of them yokes too! Which is all very well, but somehow, on the information section I managed to get NIGERIA into my location???? Hours later (and much blue air) I still hadn't got rid of it, so when BBug returned from town she finally managed to ditch it!
Ok, so I'm not saying Jingle is responsible for my stupidity, buuuuut, if she hadn't had such a cool fan widget....
And do join if you feel so inclined!
Now, here's what I wanted to ask yez-
These are three of the photos I retook for my Etsy shop:
...A Red Wall-hanging or Table-topper...
...A 'junk collection' Handbag...
...and another Wall-hanging or Table-topper.
But what about this Handbag- is it too boring? Should I decorate it somehow? And if so, with what? Beads? Buttons? Ruffles or cotton lace?? I really need to know- the fabric isn't corduroy but its quite heavy so its a fairly solid piece.
This is the other side.
So do I stay with minimalist or do I add something? Opinions please??

LOL! You crack me up! You can blame me. Well, sort of. HA! Your table toppers are super cute! And those bags are fantstic!
If I was looking for a bag I'd probably pass the plain one by because it is so plain. If you jazzed it up with some big buttons or yo-yos (perhaps just three down one side) then the bag would catch people's eyes more - and they could always take the trimmings off if they really were after a plain coloured bag.
I love the handbags...they would be cute with a monogram on them.

I would put a big cream color flower right in the middle! Maybe even a large button!
Otherwise it's look without anything!
Have a good weekend!

Again, I meant to say, otherwise it looks GREAT without anything!!
Sorry about the missed word!!!

This is really useful folks! I'm going to experiment- thank you soooo much!
that handbag does need something to make it shine...color...something. have fun with it....
I definitely think the handbag needs something. What about those amazing flower and button pins you were making I believe yesterday? Those would be a nice touch!
Love the red tree topper or wall hanging, something calls to me when I see it. I think it's "buy me"!

I love those table toppers and bags. I, too, think the plain one could do with some buttons or a big central flower as someone suggests. Lovely.
ah... your a head of yourself....
I haven't left any comments this week. :-) ha ha..... x x x
Daring to be different, I like the handbag without further embellishments. I'm a less is more kind of gal when it comes to things I wear or carry.
I love the reds on your wall hanging / table topper, and the richness of the colours of the first bag. As for the second bag I think the second side you showed looks great as is but a fairly minimal decoration on the browny-green side (like a crochet trailing flower in cream cotton?) would look lovely. Or leave as is - I see comments above going with that option too.
Very pleased to hear you managed to extricate yourself from Nigeria!

You know I would have said buttons!!
When blog land moves on out to the real world, there will be peace:) BLogging helps us focus on what we have in common and shrinks the world into the size of a little marble.....:)
