Erika Martin used my favorite color with rhinestones, my favorite embellishment. It's like she designed her purse with me in mind:) As lovely as they all are, Erika has my vote.

Angie in AZ said...

These are all fabulous and it was a toss up for me but I think I'm going with the last one "happy, happy, happy". Even though I'm not a flashy, girly girl, the rhinestones got me. I see a lot of work in the piece so that's the one that gets my vote!
