Ballard Women

Once a year about this time, a neighborhood customer Lori comes in to design a new bag. The photo shows her 2007 model - an Amy made with plum suede and merlot Naugahyde. The center panel is gorgeous vintage lily of the valley fabric.

This green fabric is extra special. It's cut from a petite antique dress that once belonged to another regular customer's mother. A couple of years ago Beth generously gave the dress to us, knowing that we would use the fabric and buttons. When Ashley made this bag, it made me a little sentimental. I'm so lucky to have such incredible customers.
