After being gone for a week and farting around with my computer game all day yesterday I have nothing sewing/costuming to relate so I will show you the gift my mom bought me at Craigdarroch Castle. This thing is absolutely perfect for my costume that I am working on for this spring. It is a really sweet reticule/bag. It has two chains to choose from…one hand bag length and one shoulder length. For my costume I will choose the hand bag length as I don’t believe they wore shoulder length straps in by gone days.

The criss cross pattern at the top edge will echo the same pattern in one of my fabrics and the dark beads will go with the other fabric.
Sorry for the dreary photo. My nice camera is broken and I’m back to my old one. Honestly, I can’t really remember how to use it!
Very nice!!!

A bag that lovely couldnt take a dreary pic!
It is pretty. I may have a struggle keeping from using it for more everyday purposes.
