First Birthday Spends Purchase !!!!

Meet my new baby.....I cant begin to tell you how excited I am about this purchase, allow me to explain. As you know I have £80 birthday money burning a huge hole in my pocket. I am still pondering on Cath K tea sets, cake stands, picnic mats, Emma B hearts, Greengate, cake tins and sooo much more but here is my first £20 gone and boy was it worth it !!!!

I decided I needed a new purse. I was very tempted to buy a Cath K large purse for £20 but decided no I really should support and buy handmade so I hit Folksy and all viewed all 290 ish very unique purses. I saw so many I liked and could easily have bought loads and set up a purse shop but then I found Natalie Farrell and my excitement started ! Her shop had coin purses & makeup bags listed but no large purses so I contacted her to see if I could commission one. I figured all my cards, coins, receipts and general junk would soon fill a big purse so I had the idea of a small coin purse to fit inside ? Natalie was very accommodating and asked what I liked and how I imagined it. I told her I liked green, pink, polka dots, buttons & funky florals left it to her......this is what she produced..........stunning, beautiful and so me, just perfect.


WOW WEE !!!!!!! if you feel like me please check out her shop xx
