Last summer, we bought a house in central Oregon. We made plans to meet my Bestie and her husband in town when the sale of the house closed and we were going to have the big signing. About the same time, I ordered this dress online. When it arrived, I knew I had to make a purse for it and wear it to a nice dinner with my BFF and family in our new town. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I give many of my purses away, but this one is meant to go with this dress and it’s just “for me”. I can’t wait to wear it again, when nice weather returns, which won’t be long now. I called it The Tourist in honor of it being the one last time I was a tourist before becoming a “resident”.

I needed a purse to match this dress!

Materials. Paper, napkins, cigar box
