I am so thrilled with my new crossbody bag from Thailand! Wow! I love all the stitching and how well this crossbody bag is built and put together! It’s so well made. It’s made from a reasonably thick leather. It smells like leather and I can see the backside of the leather too, under that little flap where the snaps are located. I think it’s incredibly well crafted. The strap is adjustable too! Woo-hoo! Score!



Cross and spirals
Yes, I bought this bag because of the size and price, but even more because it has a beautiful design to include a cross and several spirals! I love the colors too, though there’s no blue on it (unusual for me since about 2016). I typically always look for the blue. Anyway, the cross and spirals caught my attention so I jumped on it. I didn’t even know it was going to be made and shipped from Thailand when I decided to order it. Then I realized, my blogger pal and soulie sister, Linda, lives in Chiang Mai, Thailand now–so there’s another touchstone between us. I wonder if she’ll ever happen to meet the ladies who worked on this bag? Haha!
Here’s a link to Linda’s blog: https://creativeartworksblog.wordpress.com
I really needed a new bag and had been looking for more than a year for one. I wanted to buy a bag from a small business or craft fair, but not going out all winter hindered my chances of finding one. I had even been looking before moving from Florida to New Hampshire.
You can see all the wear on my old one, and one the snaps wouldn’t work anymore either. It was faux leather and that stuff flakes off over time and use.

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse with myriad sides to every story
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s THRIVE in ’25!
Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), balancing, spiraling consciousness,

Nice bag Sheila. I have a man bag which is essential for daily needs too. The French Infantry Musette World War 2 bag I wrote a blog about. The one Johnny Depp carries in The Ninth Gate film. When reading about how important certain iconic bags are in movies/films, how much they are part of the films story, it is amazing how many people then seek for those bags and to own them themselves. So I can understand your blog here and your enthusiasm in getting a background story and inherent spiral design desire behind and within your new possession. All the best.

Aww, thank you for reading and commenting here, Gray. I remember your Musette bag blog post and our chats about Johnny Depp and that movie. I think you’re right that some of these items carry a special significance for many, and it makes it all the more thrilling when we can get hold of one. I also think waiting until the right one comes into view is exciting too. I sure wore my old cheaper bag out! Ha!

Your spiral bag could last as long, or longer, than the Musette bag which was made in 1932. Develop and build its own unique history. The Musette? What stories it could tell. Cheers Sheila.
