A recent Purchase from the Beaded Branch!

I recently was perusing some of the shops in a Networking Group I am in (Sassy Sisters in Sales) and came across the cutest dang purse I have EVER seen! It is called a Bug bag or Cicada Bug Bag!

Flower Garden Bug Bag

Description: This dainty little bag is made from beautiful pink satin overlaid with a beautiful rayon print that is covered in pink roses. The drawstring is a white satiny cording. Measuring 8 1/2 inches x 4 inches, it's a perfect size for a small wallet, car keys, a cell phone and maybe one or two other small necessities.

The best story behind the bags I could find is this....

The Cicada, which emerges from the earth once every 17 years is the symbol for long life and metamorphosis and resurrection.

In Japan the geisha had a small bag that they carried the plectra(picks) for their samisen. They tucked these little bags into their obi. As is the way in Japan, this became an art form.

Here are a few more pics of the bag i purchased

This little bag is SO perfect when going to the Bar or to the salon!
All i take is my cell phone, Business card holder of course and my lil wallet!
