shabby chic

Well I put myself into hosting on SWAPBOT again. This time we'll be doing a shabby chic tote. I suppose a purse would be fine too.When I think shabby chic, I don't really see pink and big flowers. I see a conglomeration of soft, worn cotton. Does that make sense? I hope so.I love button embellishments, too. Laces are fine. I just prefer buttons or charms. Quilt blocks make a good element, too. Red work in another color even would be so charming. Think recycling whenever you can. I try. Go to May 17,2008 for pictures of bags.
