The dress A Day dozen gift Guide: #12 Diana Eng’s fortune Cookie purse
have you seen Diana Eng’s fortune cookie change purses? So cute …
They’re made of recycled leather and “branded” with a number, and include a little dust bag (and have a fortune ribbon inside). They’re $45, and Diana’s made 425 so far. [Full Disclosure, she sent me one, and I sent a copy of my book back to her. :-)] They even smell lovely, that new-leather smell … the kiss-clasp is nice and tight, too. I dislike a sloppy kiss-clasp.
Remember, if you give a purse as a gift it’s traditional to put a shiny coin in it first. (I like to use Susan B. Anthony dollars.)
(If you like my blog you will really like Diana’s book, fashion Geek. She and I have had the best conversation about LEDs that it is possible for two people to have.)
[And we’re still on the fundraising drive/Secret Lives poll:]
