Pretty Distractions

The sun is shining and I've got purses on my mind!  Okay, it's more of an effort to distract myself from the million other things I have on my brain (that aren't as pretty!).

I love the elegant simplicity of these hand-dyed and hand woven raffia and jute bags.  The come from a collective called Mar Y Sol, made up of artists from New York and artisans in Madagascar that use sustainable materials.  I was tipped off to this company from the gals over at LifestyleBOOST, my go-to site for going green the girly way.  Don't the colours on these handbags just pop off the screen?

So perfect for an afternoon wedding or...well, anytime really!

What's on your brain this Wednesday?

    Yes Miss Orange Sugar, it feels great to have the new banner up. I guess you're back on blogger swing after your trip? Welcome back!
