If you all have not seen the work of sugarshack's neice, Christian Marie ( http://christianmarie.com/confection.html ) Check it out!! She just sent me the pics of the purse and wallet that I ordered from her. I can't wait to get them here - they are my 50th birthday presents from my DH. I am going to try to stick the links here so you can see how great the quality and how adorable they are!

Here are the pics of them she sent this morning:

Oh, these are so cute! I love them all and will definitely order some. I just bookmarked the page. Thanks for sharing!

Uh oh.....tool rolls, the little old ladies from LA ICES made some of those and I have been dying to find one. (BK Ryder had one in one of the classes I took from him, and he told me that is who made it for him) I will have to have one of those for sure.

yeah i am getting a tool roll for sure. I am a trainwreck when I travel to teach... tool chaos!

HAhahaha I read it wrong, thought that was a purse cake...I was almost in shock.....

Sharon, how is your eye glass collection holding out, need more yet?

oh u luvy, you are so sweet! I am still good thank you!!! ( i might have to go prescrition soon, UGH!)

Hey, mention to Christian Marie that we need eyeglass holders to go with our conrection collection too.....

i will!

I received my new purse and wallet today! There was a sweet surprise with it, a chocolate cake clutch change purse too! The items are SO NICE.....very precise work, they are amazing! I can't wait to order a tool roll and eyeglass holder now too.

If you haven't checked her items out, do so - they are fantastic! I am now the proud owner of a one of a kind beautiful purse!

Thank you Christian Marie, and thank you Sharon for introducing her to us!

What are these purses and wallets made out of? Cotton fabric? Are they coated or lined with something to make them durable and have some type of shape? Or are they soft and floppy with no structure?

They look cute but I wonder how they would hold up to everyday use.

Thanks

Christian will be happy to answer the technical questions through her site, but I can tell you they are all lined. The purse I have holds its own shape and is not floppy at all. All side seems have cording, and it all looks very well made to me. I also have a snap wallet that is flexible yes, made of fabric, but I would not call it floppy.

HTH

They are fabric, but they are not "floppy" - at least the style I chose isn't. I am going to use some scotchguard on it since mine is a light colored fabric. I am very pleased with mine - and if/when it wears out, I will buy another one.

NEW ITEMS!

coin purses and eyeglass pouches!!

Sharon please let us know if/when she adds aprons, I'd love that. I bet my WeeOne would love one of those coin purses.

I LOVE the eyeglass pouches!! Struggling to pick just one!
Would love to see a coupon holder in this design as well! (Love my coupons; need a good holder/folder)
