Ta Dah! The List!

Here I am, displaying my wares on a Monday afternoon.....

This is the tote that will be sent around for decoration/additions.
It's made from recycled jeans, opshopped at different times.
Plus a dark piece of new denim, left over from a project.


Plenty of space, should you wish to embroider it, or sew things on.

And just look at the super special lining!
I sacrificed this teatowel specially!
THE LIST
What a freakin' huge list!
I'm sorry if anyone gets bored waiting!
Should you wish to remove yourself from the list, at any time, for whatever reason, just let me know.
So.
I will be sending the tote first to darling Sacramento, and then she will send it on to Hannah, etc.
Decorate, or add something useful-or whimsical-to the tote, then send it on with a little something for the next person. You are each responsible for contacting the person under you on the list for their address, but if you need any help, just holler. Or whistle, if you think I could pass as Lauren Bacall.....I wish!
When it comes back to me, which will be from the impossibly stylish and gorgeous Hope Adela, we will have a giveaway, and one of you lovelies will get to keep the tote.
Hurrah!

I wore:
Frock-made by moi, years ago
Fishnets-opshopped
Shoes-Trade Me
Hair-my own

Wow! That bag is fabulous. I might just steal it and refuse to pass it on (only joking, I'm a good girl really).
Love your hair down, you look gorgeous in polka dots.
Love you!

Hello gorgeous. Look at you with all your sexy hair!
I'm so excited..what a superb bit of international blogger bonding. Can't wait to have a go.
Love the lining. Don't think we can get Will n'Kate tea towels yet or at all. It's all a bit restrained..we'll have to do something about that...

Alex said...

You've done a cracking job with it! Would I be totally lowering the tone if my adornment to the bag was wang related? Tastefully done, OBVIOUSLY....

Right, I'm off to blog stalk Bonnie and plan a present for her.

Love - your hair is so gorgeous I won't be able to help myself but to play with it and braid it and do all sorts of nonsense with it in NINE sleeps!!

Where to start - your frock is so fabulous, I am always so impressed with your clever sewing skills.

The bag is FAB (I have that same tea towel!) and I am so excited to be part of this project. You are such a mad, fabulous kiwi!
