Treasury Challenge!

Each week HHU Team and Friends of HHU hold a Treasury Challenge spotlighting some of the talent in the teams and elsewhere. As a " thank you" to the curators of these beautiful treasuries we have been taking a closer look at the curators' shops and sharing with you some of their wonderful items.

Today's featured  treasury " For Mom" is curated by RobinsFlight.

 Robin's shop has beautiful hand made crocheted bags, purses,wallets, totes and gadget holders, many of which she custom makes.She enjoys making them and creating her own unique designs so that they are a joy to carry and use. The quality and attention to detail from the beautiful exterior crochet work to the interior complex sturdy linings are self evident.

Once you have had a good look at her fantastic treasury please take some time to look round Robin's Shop and tell us in the comment box here on the blog, just below the treasury, which item in her shop is your favourite and why. We would love to hear your views.

What were our favourites? 

 

FabricGreetings:

 "Robin has some great crocheted bags in her shop. The variety of sizes is wonderful". This is her favorite. She thinks it would add a pop to all the denim jumpers and white shirts she wears


Aloha : loves Robin's clutches- she likes the attention to detail and the beautiful colours. This one she thinks is so pretty.



 Marie said

"Robin has the most amazing bags. They are so well made with great attention to detail! Her photos are wonderful, too." This is one of her favourites. She thinks it's great for summer parties.






Jeanie thinks  Robin's organiser wallets are perfect for a day out or shopping.

Sewsouk ( that's me!)
  said  "I was sorely tempted to choose a wallet or card case as I really like their design and Robin makes them in such great colours but in the end I decided to choose the crossover messenger bag. I love that you can custom order the outside and inside as you want on this one" This is my favourite



April said

 "I love Robin's shop! I think my favorite is her trapezoid bags I think they would be great for an evening bag and also for just carrying around every day!"







Lynn said

"Robin has such a nice variety of items in her shop; all in great colors and designs as well as skillfully made. I like this handbag because it is stylish and really stands out."




We hope you have enjoyed our selections from Robin's shop but please take a good look around and see if you agree with our selections- or do you have a different favourite? It is really hard to choose!
