So I ordered a purse from etsy; Leather (pink) from a woman in Morocco

She just sent me my tracking number and this email:

I was pressed to send all orders yesterday but found the FedEx office's door closed. In fact, I droved 200 miles and lost 3 hours vainly; it seems, January 10 & 11th are not working days. So frustrating...Any way, now it is en route. Sorry for delay.
I attached here a copy of shipping proof.
I hope you love your new bag.
Best regards Galia


She drives 200 miles to ship her purses!?

You show me your pink purse from Morocco, and I'll show you the crazy earrings I'm getting from Belgium.

Deal.

I am on my phone now, wearing my pink etsy scarf, waiting for a fourth grade concert to begin.

Will put picture up when I am home, at my computer. : )

THAT is a great looking bag! I like the straps, and I like the color.

Thanks, Opti. : )

The shoulder strap is removable.

I'm not a big fan of popular purses these days. Esp. those ones that advertise the designer through the fabric print, ala Coach, which are way expensive.

I'm soooo excited for this one.

LOVELY!! Very nice, R2. Big enough for a laptop maybe? Looks like a fun one, especially in that color.

Thanks, Brenda.

As long as I have an audience, here is the interior. Looks well made to me. The woman gets rave reviews on etsy. People who buy her stuff seem to love it.

And yes, it will be big enough to hold scarves and gloves and a bottle of water and my iPhone and a granola bar and hand lotion and maybe some lip gloss, coordinated to match THE BAG.

I love it! Lots of great detail, and yes, looks really well made. Looks like the kind of bag that will age gracefully, and always look good.

Maybe I should check out her stuff, eh? :smile:

Ok, as promised. Inspired by a Picasso painting, she says.

Oh, those are my favorite yet, of the ones you've posted here.

I love the beveled cut on those stones -- briolettes, are they called?

What fun color (colour). Congratulations on a good find, my friend. You should be proud.

Opti, you really do.

The international nature of it is much of its appeal.

If you ever buy anything, though, you must post it here. I get most of my pleasure from browsing there. I love the neat finds. So many creative and talented and hard-working people out there.

The things ship from other countries? So shipping here might not be too outrageous?

I haven't seen any shipping charges that didn't seem reasonable to me, Opti. Big heavy things cost more, but not any more than if I was buying from my own country.

When you find an item you like, at the bottom of the Web page is the shipping cost to the various regions of the world. A few only ship in the US. Much depends on where the artist lives and what she has access to.

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
Cool stuff! The purse and earring are both incredibly stylish. Is the purse goat hide?

Not sure, IT. It just said leather. I think it's regular leather.

Thanks VPG.

I am just amazed at how far she drives to ship her goods.
