Pink Eco-friendly Shopping Bag

Shopping bag, project bag, beach bag, market tote or whatever else you may choose to use this bag for, it sure is an eco-friendly, stylish alternative that will be used over and over again.

It is made of a crinkled fabric in a pretty pink that is both lightweight and practical.

 It is very roomy inside and can hold quite a lot - in size as well as weight!

Nautical Beach Bag - Red Stripes

This is the reverse side of my Nautical Beach Bag in a more eye-catching red and white cotton. It's octagonal, it's large and it fits in much more than you'd think!

The wide denim handles have a charming deshabile paint-splattered detail. (No, it's not a result of an accident, that's how the fabric came...)

Nautical Beach Bag - White Stripes

Large octagonal beach bag in nautical stripes in a combination of red, white and blue -with a touch of black. The bag is fully reversible and all fabric used is natural cotton.

The handles are denim and wide, so that they will remain comfortable on the shoulder even when they're carrying quite a bit of weight.

While it doesn't look that big, it fits in all your beach essentials and more: a beach towel, purse/pouch/clutch, sunscreens, extra swimsuit, magazine or book, water bottle, etc. 

You can find it listed in my OnePerfectDay shop.

Blue Berry Shopping Bag

Another new shopping bag in fabric that's very reminiscent of the 70s - a charming stylized motif of berries and flowers in blue, purple, white and black. 

This fabric is a personal favourite. I just love it!

This is the large version of this shopper, so that you can do grocery shopping with it as well. It's the same size as the polka dot one.

You can find it listed here.

Cotton Market Bag

Another reusable market bag I've been working on lately. Also in natural cotton.

This one is mine. I've already started using it and it's very practical. I keep it folded in my bag at all times until I need to use it. 

It takes up so little space and I love this grey and black striped cotton.

Foldable Market Bag

Large market bag made from 100% natural cotton in a chic brown and white stripe.

I love how this bag feels to the touch. Crisp cotton has always been one of my favourite fabrics.

The stripes have been difficult to photograph without producing the dazzling optical effect below.

 I will have some of these available in my OnePerfectDay etsy shop soon.

Mini Lilac and Ivory Hair Flowers

 These mini hair flowers are just under 4 cm (about 1.5 inches) and attached to baby alligator clips.

They're great to clip onto your hair whether it's carefully arranged or not. 

They have great grip so you won't have to worry and fuss over them. 

I just attach them and forget them.

Spring Flowers

Rustic White Flower Bobby Pins

Grey Flower Appliques

These measure roughly an inch and a half or about 4cm across. Ready to be added to any number of DIY projects.

Flower Girl Basket

I made this little organza pouch as an alternative to a flower girl basket.

It's light and versatile and the easiest thing to be packed  into a suitcase for, say, a destination wedding....

I've added two loops -on either side of the handle- so that any kind of embellishment can be added. I was thinking a ribbon with flowers would be a nice touch.Tied with a pretty bow and enough left to trail down.

Large Ethereal Flower Wand

I made this flower wand the other day. It's got a big peony-like flower, tulle leaves and trailing organza ribbons so ethereal that they seem to float down rather than cascade down.

I can see it being carried down the aisle by smiling flower girls or being propped in a pretty glass bottle, jar or vase as table decor just about anywhere.

I like the result so much that I've started experimenting with other colours, shapes, sizes and styles for the flowers, the ribbon and even the wooden dowel itself.
