While at the Gilcrease Museum of the Americas,  there

Turtles at Gilcrease Museum of the Americas

were lots of turtles on the logs in the park north of the museum.

Gilcrease Museum of the Americas and New Day Hope Handbag

We walked the paths. This is me with the New Day Hope handbag along a rock path and there were lots of spring flowers on the slope.

The Becky Bags’ New Day Hope handbag is made from repurposed jeans making it eco-friendly. It is detailed with a 4-way Bargello needlepoint front panel. Sparkling beads rest atop the panel’s pulled thread embroidery and adorn its handle.

Little House on the Prairie at Independence KS

The wind was typical of Kansas the day we returned so the gas mileage was great on the motorcycles. Independence KS was a must stop and see place with its Little House on the Prairie.

The sporty, eco-friendly handbag is created from repurposed jeans. It is enhanced with the motion-like waves of its handmade, boldly colored, Bargello needlepoint panel and red satin lining and is topped off with shimmering beads. The repurposed jeans pockets are neatly incorporated in this multi-pocketed 11” x 10” x softly expanded 3” handbag. Daily inspiration comes from its Dorothy Riley quote, “May you greet each new day with hope, joy, peace and assurance that all is well.” Do-it-yourself kits and eBook buyers will feel good sporting this new look and proud their purchase also went toward planting a tree. See pictures of the handbag and learn about its story at the handbag’s web site page at http://beckybags.com/handbags/new-day-hope-handbag/.
