Nearly Taa Dah time and a bag purchase

I have finished edging my granny square blanket and am now at the stage of darning in the ends. - I will post a picture of it when it is done.  To carry on with the Granny-a-Day theme I am sorting out some of my left over stash to make a plain granny square blanket.  This will take me into the New Year, and I will post progress.

The colour of the handbag is not quite right - it is more of an olive green.  

Remember in my last post I had won a business card wallet from Shona Easton?  Shona emailed to say she would be selling her bags at a Christmas Fair in Cranleigh, a village nearby.  So on Saturday I popped over to pay her a visit.  I knew I would not be able to resist buying something - and sure enough I came home with a green leather handbag, greatly reduced because there is a very small mark on the front.   I also bought  an Organiser Bag which I can see is going to be so useful.  It has two zip pockets on the outside, another on the inside  plus pockets for phone and purse and a really useful log tag to attach keys.  This will be so useful to pop inside a shopper instead of carrying a handbag as well.    Take a look here at the Shona Easton website for more great handbags and gift ideas.
