Visitor from Japan

Joan Parrish has given a great selection of bags, with pastel colours in the smaller ones,6 altogether, and bright orange, 2 large and 2 smaller.These bright colours will be greatly appreciated and brighten up some one's day so much.

  Nancy Price has her labels sewn inside these bags. A permanent link to the sewer from New Zealand.The paler fabric goes so well with the contrast blue, and small toggles at the end of the cords are a lovely finish. The larger"" black cat"' bag and the one with little girls with pigtails have  variegated thread stitching which looks so good on the black fabric.
