Pink Friday - Winter Whites

This week our theme for Pink Friday is "Winter Whites" and that's pretty appropriate considering all the ice and snow many have experienced lately. Perhaps you'll find the Winter White offerings from Mama's Pocketbook and from the other participating Boutiques at Make Mine Pink a bit more warm and inviting! I'm sure you will! 

So cozy up with a warm cup of coffe, tea or cocoa and browse all the beautiful items on special sale, today only, at your favorite online shops! There's no better way to start the weekend than wandering through the pages of these sites from the warmth of your home (or office ... we won't tell!) finding great deals on beautiful treasures, gifts, accessories, pillows, purses, fabrics, cards, and so much more.  As always we thank you for your patronage and hope you find just the perfect thing to bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart!  Enjoy!

Introducing My Newest Design "Claire"

I always love trying something new and this adorable wristlet clutch bag has turned out to be one of my favorite products to make! It's fun and looks great in all kinds of fabrics. I will be making quite an array of these I'm sure.

The "Claire" Wristlet is a great bag for date night, church, weekend events, parties, Easter, or anytime you want to carry a smaller bag.

On my prototypes I didn't include an inside pocket, but I've decided that adding a small interior pocket for necessary credit cards and your drivers license is all that's needed to make this the perfect essentials bag.

This bag is made from a gorgeous cut velvet tapestry in rich colors of chocolate, sage, dark gold and tan that I call "Fauna". The lining is a perfectly matched silk and cheneille textured horizontal stripe. The clutch features handmade piping, a magnetic closure and a sturdy wrist loop handle that can be tucked inside if you prefer to carry it clutch style.

The Fauna version is offered as a limited edition of 25 and each bag will be adorned with a vintage button, bead or brooch to give it a One-Of-A-Kind distinction. Click the image or title to be taken to my website for more details and ordering information.
