I think that the last time I was this excited after opening up a box was Christmas Day – just look at what I found inside the box that arrived from England this week . . .
I ordered a messenger bag from Tracey Pereira through her blog, and it’s here! I absolutely love it!! The bag is beautifully constructed and is every bit as wonderful as the photo depicted it to be; I plan to use it as a carrier for my laptop.
And the special little surprise tucked into the package was this sheet of hand-dyed pre-cut feathers – these were just too special for words. Tracey said that she remembered how much I love this motif and decided to include these little treasures with my order. My mind is going through a dozen possibilities for giving these gorgeous pieces center stage in a new quilt – this is going to be so much fun.
Do visit Tracey’s blog and check out the other messenger bag designs there. And my heartfelt thanks to you, Tracey – you made my week!

I just checked them out. The bags look impeccably made. I like her fabrics; would have chosen the black and white, too. The skulls and roses was quite interesting.
So glad you liked it Diane. I really enjoy making these. I have a PDF pattern for the City Chic Messenger available now too. I will be putting it up on the site over the weekend.
ps Your photos look lovely!
What a beautiful bag!! Definitely can see it used as a laptop bag. Love the pre cuts too. Looking forward to seeing what you will make!
Always wonderful to find something terrific in the mail.
Looks like you hit the jackpot!
I just know you will do something FABULOUS with those little feather bits.
I'm not sure which I like best, the bag or the feathers. Thanks for introducing us to her.
Merry Christmas to you! Tracey is so creative. I love her wares.
wow the 'feathers' really are beautiful!
Beautiful bag, and what a thoughtful and lovely surprise gift... I know you will do something wonderful with them!
