Gold Pleather Obsession

Um, yes, it's true.  I'm obsessed with gold, snake-textured pleather.  Now, hear me out.

I have begun some work on crafted gifts.  I sort of dropped the ball on that last year, but I'm going full-steam ahead this year.  I have plans for some Christmasy pillow covers and flashy clutch purses.  I finished the first of the purses--which feature said gold, snake-textured pleather, and I'm pretty darn pleased.  I went with a zippered, fold-over clutch.  Only a few more of these babies to go.

Ok, now let's pretend for a second that I'm a serious purse designer and that I actually sell said purses that have been seriously designed.  Yeah, so, um, the "holiday collection" is out and in the Etsy shop,  And by "holiday collection," I mean some sundry purses with glittery golds and silvers and fancy silks (all photographed to mediocrity).  Anyway, I've extended the 20% off sale through the holidays (just enter code XMAS20OFF).

Oh, and check out this manicure from Mini+Meg.  She totally needs my clutch purse, no?

And finally, because I cannot get enough of this stuff, I made my friend Jillian this iPad case for kindly ensuring that Pete didn't starve over the Thanksgiving break.

Convinced?  Or not so much?  Either way, just lie to me.
