Views of my desk.
Trying to figure out what to do next. Lately, I’ve been inspired by my past travels and I feel like I should do something about it.
So here are some bag sketches for ya. Getting ideas from my Turkey Bags. What do you guys think? Should I make some bags?
Stay tuned for my next move

More Turkey and Greek Finds
I know I should have posted this closer to my other Turkish posts, but I got a little bit lazy. Ooops :)
The blue, black, tan and white graphic find is actually a cushion made of lambskin. The color combo and bold graphic are so emphatic, esp coming from the remote area in Ephesus, I had to get it. Check out the first picture with the lambskin detail and stitching. Now I just need to stuff it with foam, then it’ll have a purpose other than looking pretty. :D On top of the cushion is a leather satchel with Greek figures artistically embossed in the leather. I also love how the buckle and strap are designed to be on the bottom of the bag. It’s works well with the shape and let’s you enjoy the artwork.

Check out the bags I got from Turkey. The first one I’ve actually had for over a year now from when my mom went last. But since I got the chance to go myself, I had to get another. It’s just a great accessory that flaunts itself. I just love the shape of the bag, the Medusa eye tassles dangling off the front , and the strap that zips into 2 straps for you can wear as a back pack.
Honestly, I hardly cared about the functionality or if it’s trendy, it was more of about loving that fact that it’s so unique and that it was bought off the streets of Cannakale in Turkey<——that just sounds cooler. =)
More Jeopardy for ya:
Medusa eye represents Good Luck, so the more you have, the better. If you’re shopping around Greece and Turkey and end up buying a few things, don’t be surprised if the shop owners give a bunch of loose Medusa Eyes as a little travel gift.
