I looooove diamonds, and of course we all know they are a girl's best friend :D
Love the purse, very rich looking!!

LoL, I didn't realize my ring had gotten in the pic. Yep, Ms. Monroe was right for sure. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. :)

Last summer I found something in New Orleans that combined two loves, chocolate and diamonds. It was a pair of earrings, just studs, called chocolate diamonds. They were diamonds with the prettiest cocoa color to them. Dear hubby was all set to buy them for me thinking they couldn't be more than eight or nine hundred. The price tag gave us both a shock though. $3,800! Needless to say I didn't take them home. :)

This purse is truly beautiful and you picked a tricky one for your first. Your color choices are fabulous and your attention to detail is excellent!

I think you will find that nextime if you use an iron-on fusible web like Decor Bond by Pellon ON THE LINING it will add great body to your lining and it won't look so scrunched up.

You can also get some great tips at http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/ Joan's patterns are excellent with color step-by-step photos. Check out her gallery and blog.

Blessings,
Peggy
