Work Of Art Bags

bag1

I stumbled upon these beautiful and unique leather handled carry bags from SwarmHome.com.  These bags are made by hand using vintage oil paintings which were sourced from Belgium and Dutch Flea markets.  Each bag is a work of art.  They are strong, versatile and spacious.  The bags are designed to show signs of wear with use and age so that their stories live on.  I like the one with a long handle.

Personalized Plates For Children

We still cannot decide what toys to get our daughter for Christmas.  She did tell us that she would like to have a High School Musical school bag 🙂 I was looking around on the internet and saw the cute personalized Alphabet Plates.   Meal time have never been this magical.   Made of melamine,  you can pick a hair style, hair colour, eye colour, skin colour, accessories, the colour of the plate and personalized words or name for your child’s plate.  What a cool idea.  Maybe we should also get her a personalized plate.  Oh so many things to choose from.   I hope we can make up our mind very soon.

Gift For A Friend Who Is Moving Away

A friend will be moving to North Carolina before Christmas.  Besides busy packing her things to be shipped, my friend is also looking around for health insurance in nc and other important matters for her move.  Two nights ago, a few of us got together to give our friend a farewell dinner.  We had dinner at a restaurant in downtown and then adjourned to a quaint cafe for coffee.  As a farewell gift, I gave her a cute Chloe bow key fob. Nice?  My friend loves it.

Birthday Gift For A 40 Year Old

An ex-schoolmate of mine celebrated her 40th birthday recently.  A few of us, ten ex-schoolmates got together and celebrated her birthday at a local restaurant.  It was a lovely celebration as well as a get-together for everyone since most of us have not seen each other for a while.  Guess what we got our dear friend as birthday present.  A stunning necklace created with ivory chiffon flowers and an intricate sequin flower in grey.  The Vivienne necklace is from PrismeraDesign.com.

Handmade Paper Dolls

Before I check out the health care job sites for my cousin, I would like to share with you what I found recently.  Lovely handmade paper dolls from Kirakirahoshi’s Shop.   There are sweet Korean couples, elegant Japanese girls in kimonos and pretty Chinese girls wearing costumes worn during the Qing Dynasty.  I also like the cute Indian ladies in sarees.  Each paper doll is about 15cm x 9cm and are great as cards, bookmarks and more.  If you like, you can even frame them up as a picture and hang on your wall.

Bacon Soap For The Cleaning Soul

What do you think of a soap that will get you clean but looks like a bacon?  Frankly, I am not sure if I am going to like it or not because it smells like real bacon too.  The Bacon Soap comes in a collectible retro tin.  Well, one man’s meat is another man’s poison (no pun intended).  So, if you like the idea of rubbing some bacon on your body, head over to ThinkGeek.com and get yourself a few strips bars.

Recycled Wine Bag Or Wine Caddy

While my husband while busy helping his friend to look up the 5th wheel warranty, I was scouring the internet for unique wine bags or wine holders.  We have a party to attend next weekend and we would like to present the host with a bottle of good wine.  I figure that a nice wine holder would be better than the normal gift bag.  I found the most lovely wine bag at The West End.  It is made of discarded newspaper and coated in plastic.

Another one which I like is the one below which is made from pages of twisted old magazines.   Using these recycled wine caddy or wine bag to carry the wine bottles is rather eye-catching, don’t you think so?
