Happy Monday to All! It's Thanksgiving week here in the U.S. I am thankful for the many blessings in life and that includes freedom of speech: the opportunity to write and say your opinions on a blog!

The designers's artistic talent is evident on every handbag. I love it that each bag is original. Who doesn't love to show off your latest style that no one else has!?! These bags pair great with your casual wear or a dressy outfit. They make the perfect holiday gift! Photography: DenMar Studio The main qualities of these beautiful bags are: Made from
