ReplyDeleteHi, I just discovered your blog today via Poppytalk and instantly added you to my Bloglovin account nad are now enjoing myself looking through the archives. Absolutly lovely blog..and lovely bag!
ReplyDeleteI will be preparing for a stall at a handmade market here in Oslo, Norway on Sunday. But unfortunally I had to turn in my sewing machine for repairs this week so I have been handsewing the last couple of days. Very different and superfun!
Wish you a good weekend and happy b-day!
Love the bags, love the patterns you come up with. Happy Birthday! I'll be spending my weekend finishing up wedding stuff-I'm getting married in 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching soccer with friends I haven't seen in a few months :)

Hello, I too just discovered your site via poppytalk! This weekend is filled with friends of the moving kind, marrying kind and visiting kind. The napkin, bag and purse would suite my kind!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful to offer a giveaway right before your big day. Love all the patterns and color combinations you come up with. :)
This weekend starts the beginning of a vacation week for me, which will be spent on long-overdue furniture projects and sprucing up our home in general (we sort of skipped the spring cleaning bit ...).
Happy birthday! The bag is lovely. I'm spending my weekend hiking with my little boys and trying to stay warm in our frigid Bay Area summer.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! This Monday I'll be saying goodbye to a kitten I've been fostering. He's going to a lovely home, but it's hard not to get attached - so it'll be a bittersweet day for me
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bag! Looks like it holds a lot of stuff without suffering from giant purse syndrome, where you lose everything in there :)
ReplyDeleteSadly I'll be spending my weekend packing and moving--hopefully it won't be too much of a scorcher!
I'm a person who's hardly saying "gimme gimme". But what if your bag screamed "win me win me"? (Maybe I'm mad, but I think it had done so...) You and your husband are doing great work. Have a happy birthday, Arounna! tamara
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! Stunning bag but love the napkin, think i'll frame it!

ReplyDeleteTomorrow I will be strawberry picking with my son at this great new family farm I found down the street. We went today and have already ate all the strawberries that we picked!
