Polka Dots, Flowers and Butterflies Tote

Handmade bag with polka dots, stripes, butterflies and flowers.

All fabrics used are 100% natural lightweight cotton. 

There's a magnetic snap to keep it closed and two inner pockets: one with a zipper and one without.

The combination of fabrics is a jumble of some of my favourites.

It's a bonus that the bag itself is also very light and practical.

You can find it here.

Mini Flower Headbands

Dainty little fabric flowers in a variety of colours, ready to be made into headbands.

I like the simple, unfussy, look of just one little flower on the side of the metal band.

On occasion though, I am tempted to add two -or even three- flowers on one headband....

I'll be listing a couple in my etsy shop soon.

 Having fun looking looking through old craft magazines and unearthing 'mythical treasure'....

Green Floral Origami Bag

Another extra large origami bag in a green mix. This one is also fully reversible with a pretty floral on one side and a delicate stripe on the other.

The handles are denim for strength and durability.

Olive Green Drawstring Pouch

This is the pouch for my green tie tote, in the same material as the bag, with an added lace accent for a modest romantic touch.

All you have to do is fold the bag and place it in the pouch, cinch the drawstring and tie ribbon into a bow. Now you have a very practical bag for all sorts of occassions.

I always keep a couple of these pouches in my bag. There's always something extra to tote around and, as I've sworn off plastic bags, these eco-friendly reusable bags always seem to come in handy.

Olive Green Foldable Tote Bag

Another origami tote bag, in olive green.

I always have mine folded and tucked into my bag for any occasion I need an extra bag to carry something in.

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.

Ivory Bridal Flowers

Grey Flowers

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.

Shark Grey Flower Sneak Peek

Small handmade flower appliques in a dark, charcoal grey.

Black Flower Crown

While the black flowers on this flower crown seem to have a blue tinge, they're actually ink black with a hint of gold and bronze thrown in - and they are made from these black organza flowers.
