It’s always so much fun to meet the wonderful people that come to the Festivals to demonstrate their art or to sell their creations. I met the neatest lady named Chrisy with an amazing booth.
I admired some cute little leather bags she had made and she asked me if I would rather have one with a strap? OH YES! So while we walked over to buy Kettle Corn to take home and watch the Dallas Cowboys WIN…she sewed a strap on this beautiful aqua leather bag.
And look what was inside…
and the bag she packaged everything in!
My hubby was sweet and picked out a pair of earrings for me, too.
It was pretty much my ‘perfect day’!
I love Cowboy football and hubby even made NY chili! (maybe even better than TX chili!!! heehee)
I know I am SO spoiled!
Chrisy doesn’t have a website or blog but I have her email addy.
Her card says, ‘Native art Aussie style’!
Have you ever seen anything like this?
Oh how I LOVE it!

I'd love to shop her stall. Everything about it is perfect including the shopping bag.
I LOVE that aqua bag!! Lucky you. You should tell Chrisy to open an Etsy shop so more of us could see her work. Talented lady.
She has nice things - she should have a website. Love the blue of that purse!
Beautiful, all of it! The blue hue bag especially.
We love Cowboy football too :-)
How wonderful. Glad you had a perfect day. That is such a blessing.
'Sounds like you had a great day. I love the bag you bought. The earrings are very pretty also. THis was truly a great find for you, this lady's awesome shop. Perhaps she should consider a blog and/or a website.
'Native art Aussie style'. Catchy!
I like what I'm seeing; there is a certain appeal to those leather goods.
Love the purse and the earrings. Yes, you are blessed in many ways, and that;s good.
wow what a talented lady, wish she had a blog!! You are spoiled but is because you are so loveable!
What beautiful crafts, so different to the South African ones that I know, except maybe the earrings. I would love to have been with you. Diane

OMG she needs an Etsy shop! Love her stuff! I have a thing for native style crafts...I am part Native American :) Your purse is beautiful! She does such nice work! I wish she had a shop around here. I would love to get something from her for my aunt! Thanks for sharing this wonderful artisan!
That turquoise is gorgeous! What lovely items she makes. I agree she should have an Etsy shop! hugs, Linda

She is very talented. I think she needs a blog!!! Love your purse and the fact that it was already "packed" for you- Blessings- xo Diana
Diane, I enjoyed seeing all the goodies you got at the festival. I love those art/crafts festivals! The handbag is adorable and being that I enjoy making my own jewelry I can appreciate the handmade jewelry all the more! As a fellow blogger I find it very fitting that she included the notepad and pens, great for making a quick note to blog later. ;)
Hugs!
