I'm having a lovely Saturday, and I hope you are as well.  Here's how I define "lovely": I slept until I woke up, lounged around with a second cup of coffee, and around noon began creating at my own pace, aka "slowly".  I'll show you what I've been up to soon; it's for a swap so it will all need to stay under wraps for a while.
But feast your eyes on what I won last week on shopgoodwill.com!  A vintage beaded evening bag...
 made in Paris.
 It has the sweetest pleats, and some delicate embroidery on the front and back.
But I could not get over the beading.
Even though it's not perfect/missing some beads -- especially on the clasp -- I just love what remains.


In case you haven't heard, the Grow Your Blog event is happening, beginning today!  I'm not a participant this year but I am an alumni of previous years and I highly recommend you take some time to visit some of the bloggers taking part in the event!  Many of them are having giveaways, too -- which just adds to the fun, right?
Don't forget: some of us are going to bling up a yogurt cup and there's still time to join in that challenge!  Details here.

That bag is definitely swoon worthy! Congratulations on your successful bid.
