Love the new bag, R2. The color is divine. On my monitor it looks like the old ashes of roses shade. I adore anything pink/mauve. I'm such a girl. :D

Thanks, Patty. I, too, liked the shade of pink. More library, less cotton candy.

Years and years AND YEARS ago I spent 13 months in Morocco. Every chance I got I would buy something in leather as gifts for friends and relatives back home. I'm sorry to say never got a thing for myself.
Some of it I stood there in the Bazaar and watched them make it.
Just remembered, I have a small wooden hand carved set of Camels. (not the smoking kind)

Cool, Vince! Were you there for business or pleasure?

Looks like a really interesting place. Apparantly their Peace Corps program has one of the highest volunteer satisfaction rates.

So, Vince, is Morocco known for its leather products?

The only Moroccan person I've met was in Paris and all she wanted to talk about was America. Sweet woman. Kept running into her.

Then my wallet went missing.

Joke. Last part was a joke people.

Lovely woman.

She was a little impish thing on a man-powered scooter. I could take her if it came to blows.

She was clutching John Grisham books every time I saw her.

Your purse lady makes some fabulous messenger style bags, R2. I've been drooling browsing.

And she won't charge you extra for the 200 miles she drives to ship it. : )

I really enjoy browsing and then tagging my favorites. I have a lot of earrings in my "favorites" category....

O.K now I have to admit just how long ago it was. Morocco was under French rule at that time. I was there while serving in the U.S.A.F.
I really loved it, spent most weekends in either Rabat, the capital, or Casablanca. My base was a few miles from the Sahara.
And yes the leather things were wonderful.
I have a picture of me in a Frenchmans scimpy bathing suit, on a scorching hot Xmas day. No I will not post it.

You have to do this. I learned the hard way, having seen something cool and not being able to find it again later. Moroccan purse supplier is in my file now. I have several 'vintage' hats in my favourites, unfortunately they're all too small for big German head. :P

Well I guess we'll just have to use our imaginations, then. ;)

Mark, I could rather easily send a gift hint to your wife, if you know what I mean. ;)
