You may remember, way back when, that when I went down to London to meet Marc for the very first time (can it be almost two years ago?), we went mooching in all the vintage/second hand shops in Portobello Road and we found this battered old satchel which he bought me after a little haggling, and that I repaired when I got home.

Originally I wanted to leave it as it was, and then more recently I thought that I would like it to be even more special and absolutely unique and so asked Marc if he would put one of his designs on it ……..
……. so that, with all the satchels, in all the world, I would be the only one with a totally “Marc” original.
Marc has called it Indian Summer and I just ADORE it, it reminds me of when I used to go to London about 30 odd years ago and the smell of patchouli oil and burning incense filled the air and Marc was doing his designer thing for the rich and famous!!!! Naturally, it will now be my bag of choice from now on, especially on my next visit to London at the end of May to celebrate Marc’s birthday.
But Marc, being Marc, as I tidied away the wrappings something else dropped out of it …..
…… this beautiful and very large lizard brooch …… what is he like????? He knows me soooooooo well and what will make me go oooooooo and ahhhhh with pure delight!
I will wear him often, but for now I thought he would look perfect languishing in the sun on my kitchen window sill under the shadow of my solar powered waving queen, another gift from Marc ……. don’t you just love him xxxxx
