Etsy Finds Friday - MISALA Handmade

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the

Whimsical and Sweet Purses

Created by:

Michelle Chan

of MISALA Handmade

I think these sweet and whimsical purses are just adorable! Colorful and creative... Fun gifts for any girl, little or all grown up!

In the Artist's Words:

I never thought I'd be designing and crafting purses when I was studying for my degree in Electronics Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, but life is always full of surprises. After so many twists and turns, I ended up in Dubai with my husband after quitting my depressing job in an Engineering firm. Unlike my husband, who graduated from U.Va and lived aboard for quite some time, the move to a foreign country had a profound impact on me. With a wider horizon, I learn to explore the creative side of myself and embrace the art of creating and crafting pretty little things.

Little Chocolate Brown Cow Clutch Purse

A new member of MISALA's zoo. This purse is a lovely cow with a big head and fat body. It is made from thick brown polka dot cotton. This lovely color looks like delicious chocolate milk:) Its lovely shape is just perfect to store your essentials: coins, keys and lip balm.

Kawaii Coin Purse ~ Mini Strawberry

This mini purse is inspired by my love of summer strawberries:) It is made from red polka dot cotton and appliqued with green felt leaves. Its mini size is perfect for coins.

Cute Blue Fish Clutch Purse

The natural habitat of my blue sleepy fish is the deep, deep ocean, so you don't normally get to see him in a pond or the aquarium. Known to the scientists as the Epinephelus misalatus, he is a very rare catch well known for his blue polka-dot mouth, fin and tails, together with the blue-toned colorful scales! Its curvy shape is just perfect to store your essentials: money, keys and lip balm.

Lavender Purple Garden Clutch Purse

Each time I look inside this purse I feel like taking a stroll in a springtime garden. It is called 'Garden in a bag'. This cute purse is made from rich purple cotton as exterior and a pretty floral print lining. The rectangular shape of the purses is just fabulous and it stores loads! There’s plenty enough room for your essentials: money, phone, coins, keys and lip balm.

Black Kitten Coin Purse with Purple Polka Dot Top

Exterior fabric is an adorable print of lovely black cats and polka dot in purple. The puffy shape of the purses is fabulous and it stores loads!

Bent Willow Woman~American Pies

I opened the door and I was looking at a little bent old woman. A wise old woman who was definitely a free spirit. I saw she had

callouses all over her feet...oh my! This gal was definitely in need of some shoes. Not just any shoes, but Custom made to fit her aging feet kind of shoes.

First I treated her to a wonderful lavender spa pedicure and then bright green toe nail polish! After that we set about getting her those wonderful hand stitched shoes. She wanted bright pink shoes with flowers on them!
