I've been following Wendren's blog for a while and when she posted about some coffee beans bags she had laied her hands on, which in turn became hand bags... I knew I was going to be shopping soon. From the moment it was just a coffee beans bag, I saw this one with the blue elephant "Asian coffee and Tea LTD" and I wanted it! It sounds so much like an explorer's bag... adventure!
So, the moment the coffee beans bag became a handbag, I bought it. And a week later it was in my hands. Talking about fast shipping...from South Africa all the way to The Netherlands!
Now, my son thinks it is something for him to play with because it has an "Olei" on it (Olifant is elephant in dutch). My husband keeps inspectioning the carved wooden button and I saw him looking for a way to take it off........ try again dear......just try....
Moi?? I love this bag. So big! I can put all my stuff in here and there is still room! A laptop fits in it!!! I love that everything is recycled. These are Fair Trade coffee beans bags!
It all just works out great!
I love handbags and, according to my husband, I have way too many... and I just saw Wren has some new handbags with colored lining............ how many are too many?
Thanks Wendren!

Vania... hola! Sisi, ya se cual sos y ya me di cuenta del lio que hice con las direcciones. ya fui a disculparme con la otra argentina!
Lo que hace el amor, terminamos viviendo en cualquier lado. tambien nos da la posibilidad de reencontrar nuestras capacidades artisticas que parecia teniamos olvidados.
wow. i love the bag!!! i bought a bag from wendren last spring, and it is so well constructed and has held up to my abuse. her work is really high quality! now, i must go look at her new stuff.
I love those kinds of bags and I have been looking for some to make some things for my vintage shop. When my sister was visiting last week, we went to some antique shops and in one we found a feed bag. In big bold letters, it said "Hog Feed - Full o' Pep"!! We laughed so hard picturing one of us carrying a handbag made from that!
Believe me, you can never have too many handbags! This one is way too cool, I love it!
Fishy, her new stuff is really good. And you can choose fabrics!
mary, LMAO @ "Hog Feed - Full o' Pep"! that would be an interesting bag!
Well, maybe you can talk to Wren and she can hook you up with something...
Edward and Lilly, that is what I say... never too many! all needed!

You can never have too many bags...as Rebecca said...but, 'tis true!!
