It's time for my wonderful, beloved bag again! I am the lucky owner of an amazing hand crafted bag by
Joan. I SO love this bag, and not "just" because it's one-of-a-kind and there is no-one else in the world having the same... I always feel like it's "alive", because I can feel the love and craftmanship which was put into this bag. There is so much love in this little bag. I love its little loving, handstitched details, I love the textures and colors, I love its totally unique quality. It fits my style so well... somewhere between bohemian, girlie and fairy-tale. I think that this bag and I were made for each other. Yes, it's a match made in heaven :) In spite of its girlie appearance, this bag is a high-quality piece made with high skill and haute-couture quality. Each detail is a piece of art in itself, the inner lining matching the outside in beauty and craftmanship. Besides being the most wonderful soul and doing amazing work in her cat sanctuary on Syros, Greece, Joan is a talented artist and has been a successful textile and accessories designer back in her Danish days -- her work being featured in magazines and carried by celebrity shops. But since she and her husband have chosen this little Greek island as their permanent home, Joan has found her true life path in helping cats in need. She is the most GENEROUS soul ever, and I feel so thankful for knowing her and for being able to call her my friend. A kindred soul for sure. If you don't know her yet, please read her heartmoving stories on her wonderful blog
God's Little People.

Thanks so much for your kind and loving words.
The bag simply couldn't have found a better home and its as if you were already intuitively in my mind when it was made... I had SUCH a great creative and loving time making it! All the hours put into it is all made up by your love for the bag! Thanks so much - this post truly makes me SO happy!! - and you look so sweet wearing it.

Those orange accents on the bag are so you, Anna. This precious bag definitely found the right owner with the right match.
I believe I heard of God's Little People blog from you , via the Christmas cards promotion. How incredible it must be to give up a former life path and pursue something entirely new and probably closer to the true self!
Thank you Hilde!!! :)

What you say is so true! :D And YES, you heard of Joan and God's Little People through me back then :) I love what Joan is doing, and I do admire her heart's mission and new life path, which she has found in helping those poor little babies in need.

Dearest Anna,
What a lovely tribute to our mutual friend and indeed, a kindred spirit. She is SO very talented. Had to enlarge the photo with those hand crafted perfect pansies. You wear that bag very well and you yourself look lovely too and are equally talented!
Such a joy to read each other.
Hugs,
Mariette

You are such a sweetheart yourself, and what a joy to share the admiration for Joan's wonderful work helping furry babies in need!!!!
A beautiful bag and a beautiful lady!
Thank you Elisa!!! :)
I always find that the things which were hand crafted always have more meaning and it is almost like they have a sense of purpose. It is as though the crafter leaves a part of themselves with what they are working on, in this case your bag. I love the color.
