The beginning ...
I want to share with you all my new collection of wallets...now numbered but not in order of preference.

I use mainly recycled materials because I love the quality and feel of vintage textiles and ribbons.
I track down images in old book shops and magazines-I,ve tried down loading images but it,s not the same...theres a type of magic in the search alone.

I like to think of this wallets as little works of art-each unique-each a homage to the greats(and the humorous)of this world

No.1 Willy wonka with purple crepe paper and yellow bow


No.2  Lana Turner with a delightful dramactic pose and gorgeous vintage leave pattern.
