I was perusing ThreeShelledWalnuts looking for an image of a fire in our wood stove when I happened upon these gorgeous handcrafted bags by Infusion.  Would I be willing to pay $170 for a bag?  I think that the answer is yes.  For something handmade that I love, I would pay $170.

The trusty purse that I paid $40 for over four years ago is still in everyday use and beyond tattered.  Admittedly, I haven't really been looking, but newness is most definitely in order.

Upon arrival at campsite #1 last Friday, I was greeted with a goodie-bag gift from a six-year-old that really, really, really wanted me to open it straightaway.  She was even willing to untie the bow to help me out.  A butterfly pin, which I immediately used to adorn my sweatshirt, was included among many other hand selected items.

As I imagined it would, said butterfly brooch worked seamlessly into my nine-to-five wardrobe.
