Jean Judy makes charm bracelets using images from Jane Austen’s novels. She custom made the bracelet at left for me, using my favorite colors. These beautiful bracelets were also a hit at the last JASNA annual meeting, where Jean’s bracelets were worn by several members. View her selection in her Picassa Photo Album and on her blog, where her contact information sits.

We then travel to Finland, where Päivi’s colorful folk bags remind me of reticules so popular in the 19th century. Stylish and beautiful, they would add to any modern wardrobe while evoking past times.
Visit Päivi’s Flickr album here and her blog at this link.
