This pleasing sight is the newly mended handle on my beloved handbag. The nice man at Merryfields did it (the link, unlike the handle, might be broken, it wouldn't work for me earlier)
It took some coaxing to get him to believe that it was worth mending such a beat up old bag ("but I like it!"). Nonetheless, he's done a good job, I think.
To tell the truth, it was not I who did the beating up of the bag. I only bought it a couple of months ago, from the vintage bit at Motel. Not so much "making do", then...
It was cheap, though, and I really do like it- it makes me feel like a proper grown-up, possibly one living in the seventies. Chloe Sevignie in a period piece, perhaps?
The feverish joy of getting it (and my best ballet flats, newly resoled) back seems to have made me think I'm taking pictures for a leather goods catalogue:
PS- Thank you for the lovely comments on the jumper!

Make do and mend

Hurrah for the man at Merryfields - I need to do some mending of shoes as previously discussed. Maybe he would like to mend the zip on my beloved boots?
Also I'm thinking of buying black and gold stripey fabric shoes for work - do you think I could get away with them?
