Just a bag

Just a small, simple, lined gift bag with a boxed bottom , padded bottom insert, and in-seam tie.
Custom ordered to present a special gift.
Orange and brown - fitting for who the gift was coming from -
that I just happened to have in my stash.

The recipient will never meet me, will never know who I am
(and unless he looks very carefully, will never see where I signed and dated my work).
The bag may never be used again.
But my simple little bag is now a continent away, in the possession of someone very involved in the world of textiles and fashion.

I know it is there, and that I made it.
And that in itself is very satisfying!

The satisfaction of knowing your work is in the hands of someone a continent away, or on the other side of the planet, is such a wonderful feeling.
When people say they are giving my pottery as a gift to someone in Germany, it makes me feel special. I sign it all, but have you looked lately to see how many 'Higgins' there are??? I haven't, but I know it is a common name.
Love you sis!

That's a gorgeous bag... and I'm very intrigued by this story!
