Since owning a custom drapery workroom, I always had a hard time throwing away any of the beautiful scraps into the trash.  so I started designing handbags for friends and family which grew into a small side business that I just love.  each bag is individually designed and stitched which includes the zipper charms which I hand make with lots of shells and beach pebbles that I collect from local beaches and  trips to cape cod and the islands.
