In the spring of 2008, I had two articles published by Stampington & Company in

HAUTE HANDBAGS

Volume III
Spring 2008

Haute Handbags volume 3
 
Ephemerite's Collage Bag
This article is about a collaged & altered tote bag that The Ephemerites made.
We had already done a round robin of tote bags for ourselves when we decided to make one
for publication in Haute Handbags.  After the tote was returned, we donated it to
the Canterbury Choral Society's annual Masquerade Ball and Auction.  Our purse was
in the silent auction with a starting bid of $150.  Next to the bag (and
included with it in the auction) was a copy of the magazine opened to my article.
Apparently there was a bit of a bidding war because there were two sheets of bids.
In the end, the purse sold for $775!!!		 Free-form Crochet Purses
This article is about some free-form crochet purses that I made -
not bad for a girl who doesn't know how to crochet!!!!!
However, free-form crochet can be so much more than what I did.
