One of my favorite things....

I love my new purse! Mark and Sandy gave it to me for Christmas. It's not only beautiful but it is so special because it was made by one of my dear friends, Tricia. She has started a business called "Close Knit Friends". She knits hats, scarves and purses in various sizes. It has an amazing texture for the body of the purse. She knits it with wool yarn and then washes it for a solid "felted" texture. Tricia lost her mom to breast cancer and began knitting as a theapeutic way of dealing with that painful loss. Her husband encouraged her to start this business and even came up with the cute name. Her purses are all named after her friends. I just love this idea. You can check out her website at: www.closeknitfriends.biz for more info!
