Welcome! the fabled needle will now live at http://blog.loveliette.com. My old blog, http://thefabledneedle.blogspot.com, will still be online so you can refer back to it, if you wish, but all new posts will be right here; So I hope you’ll visit often as I have posts a-plenty in store for you!

A pretty and festive summer bag to start off the season. Just leave a comment in this post (giveaway is open to all readers, worldwide) and I’ll randomly pick a name and announce the winner July 1st. (Giveaway closes June 30th at midnight PT.) Good luck, sweets!
