I love everything about this picture!
#1 I am known for my juice can bouquets and I can finally make some because I am back in Seattle and my nasturtiums are in full bloom!
#2 The blue sky! The smoke from the fires in Canada has dissipated and we are having beautiful summer days.
#3 Orange! I have been saving this papaya juice can that I bought at Uwajimaya last year in the hopes of making vibrant bouquets. As I say, this was all part of the Master Plan. This master plan just took a little longer to execute.
I hope that you are having a beautiful summer too!

To me, this orange vinyl clutch looks like a mod summer accessory that Hermes would design. I love how sleek and expensive it looks - straight seams and minimal stitching is the key.
Yesterday I showed you my fold-over clutch with contrasting top zipper (love them!) but do you remember the royal blue clutch that started it all last year? I carry it all the time and it still looks as good as the day I made it. Marine vinyl is a fabulous material to work with!
I had some orange material left over, so I made myself a little case that I can clip to my belt loop when I just want to run to the grocery store. It holds my iPhone and a Botanical Interests seed packet case that I use to hold my ID, Visa and $20.
I know, I say seed packet case as if that is a known commodity, right? It is just a little something that makes sense to me. Botanical Interests seed packets are beautiful, why wouldn't you up-cycle them into something for your purse?
I cover them in plastic tape and then sew on triangular vinyl flaps that I made. The perfect clasp is a circle of adhesive Velcro. They are where beautiful and interesting meet.
