Find it Friday ~ Purse of Many Colors

Each Friday we will showcase a product, service, offering or event that is a MUST to check out!

The Purse of Many Colors ~ This purse rocks! I love that it is funky, it is functional and it is affordable. I can't tell you how many times I see great purses and think Oh I just CANNOT spend that kind of money. Not this purse, I scooped one of these up right away! Not only do I LOVE the affordability of the bag, how roomy it is and how great it is going to look with my fall outfits, I love that I am able to make it myself! Now instead of carrying a label I will be carrying my own work of art! How great is that!
