Takes Girly Style Out and About While Having Fun

Award-winning, sporty, repurposed jeans handbag lets you become a show stopper while you are out and about having fun. Stay organized with the 10-pocketed, 11” x 10” x softly expanded 3” handbag. The handbag’s name comes from its inspirational Dorothy Riley saying, “May you greet each new day with hope, joy, peace and assurance that all is well.”    

SHOW OFF YOUR CREATIVITY

The beautiful, New Day Hope handbag is enhanced with a large, Bargello, embroidered panel. You will enjoy the compliments you will receive about your creative talent with this do-it-yourself handbag.  

Details

  • 10-pockets make organizing easy! Jean’s hip pockets are conveniently placed on the back of the handbag and the front pockets are naturally just inside the front of the handbag.
  • Line the handbag with your favorite material.
  • Go green with the included recommendations for selecting suitable used jeans to make the 11″ x 10″ x 3″ handbag.

Optional items include using your own favorite saying and name or simplifying the handbag by eliminating them completely. Beth might substitute her name when she makes her handbag as illustrated in the photo. Going simple without beads is OK, too.

My husband and I have visited several of the music halls of fame and museums over the years and it reminds me of the glitzy outfits exhibited in several of them. They have included:  Clarksdale’s Delta Blues Museum, Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum,  Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, Cleveland’s The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum,  Owensboro’s International Bluegrass Music Museum, and of course Elvis Presley‘s Memphis attractions.      

The picture shows me in the front of the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with the New Day Hope handbag. Check out the blog page for additional pictures from the Tulsa trip by pressing here.
