After a futile attempt to find a handbag fulfilling my requirements (i.e. adorable and $10 or less) I decided to whip one up myself. I was very pleased with the results - but as usual - was too impatient to wait to use it until it was completely done - so it did not last but a few weeks. Incidentally, that is about how long it takes me to get tired of a handbag and move on. I do plan to make repairs - it's on that monster "to-do" list that seems to grow exponentially!!
