Empire of bags update

[louiselux]

One trip to the Sue Ryder giant jumble and score! One mouldy and bent copy of Wuthering Heights. It renovated nicely though with a bit of white spirit and some stern clamping. It's the same design as the Heidi bag, that familiar red and gold cover.

Since I made this bag, I had 'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush going round in my head for literally days. I mean, I love Kate Bush but enough is enough.






My sales blurb: "A beautiful red, gold and black handbag made from a vintage copy of Wuthering Heights. This is ideal for transporting all your lovelorn notes, locks of hair and vials of bitterly wept tears. Cathy Earnshaw would be right jealous!"

There are more pics over at my shop of etsyness.

Oh, and while I'm here, my stylish and tasteful book clock!

You have no idea how much I enjoy your bag posts. The WH bag is fabulous! :)

These are so cool, and made doubly so by the Bill Bailey quote.

This is an incredibly stylish bag and you are making it hard for me to resist the urge to buy it...

Argh.

*baglust*

Aww, I'm really glad you enjoy them. I'm never quite sure if people want to know or not.

I'm a bit torn about selling the wh bag, I love it so much.

Thanks! Many many people seem to have that same copy of Heidi, with those slightly creepy illustrations inside.

Ahaha, you spotted it. Double points!

And thanks!

Mwahaha... My bag-making laugh is an evil laugh!

I love that button. I found it in John Lewis haberdashery - a place of wonders!

That bag is pure genius!

I envy you, your creativity and having the time AND talent to do your craft.

Also... Kate Bush & Wuthering Heights! I was an exchange student in Belgium the first time I heard that song. It always brings back so many memories.

You are so clever! It totally makes up for me now having that song stuck in my head...

I kind of want to get that clock for my mom, but I'd then have to explain it to my daughter. OH THE QUANDARY.

I love it! Oh, how you are making me lust for nifty book-purses.

And the clock is clever times eleventy-million! How did you make it?
