A couple of years ago I stumbled across this beautiful bag on etsy and made it mine. I cannot tell you how often I am stopped in the grocery or about town and inquired about it.

Since then I have fallen in love with Hmong hand stitched fabric and embroidery and have invested in several vintage pieces.  Earlier this year I converted a Hmong baby carrier into the purse above and designed a bag around a vintage remnant shown below.

Today I received a package in the mail containing new vintage pieces.  I can’t wait to start creating with them.
