This is beautiful - Reminds me of a velvet clutch bag on its side (hope that doesn't sound too wierd!)
Thanks for adding my blog candy to your alerts: Think it is a great idea having them in the side bar as you have done. Thanks also for taking the trouble to find my site: I shall be shouting again when that opens for business ! :)
