My Sewing Machine

Here my sewing machine ,this is what l use to create all the magic on.Its Joy sewing machine , that l brought online for £65.00 pounds. And it works like a dream, l've had it for about 3 years.And l brought it online at
http://www.ace-apparelcraftequipment.co.uk/ .l was looking long and hard for a sewing machine, but most of them were out of my budget , so when l saw sewing machine at that price l jumped at the chance to buy it, as most full size new sewing machine start at 80 pounds upwards.And its been a great buy.
 l've also been searching online for new sewing machine feets that l don't have and have notice lots of complaints about joy sewing machines, l was really surpise about this but l can honestly say my machine works like a dream.I havent experience any of the faults other people have with my joy sewing machine  thank goodness.

MARC JACOBS House of Marc Snappy bowling bag

The first thing l want on my fashion must have's is a MARC BY MARC JACOBS House of Marc Snappy bowling bag.
This bag is lovely in person ,its caught my eye as l was wandering though Selfridge's
. Its more pink purple colour ,then it shows on the picture . it has amazing soft leather  and l was surprise how cheap it was, l thought it be £600 pounds but it was only £335 .
l found with alot of marc jacobs bags, their start a reasonable price of £150 upwards . This is way more afford then a louis vittion bag, that seems to start from £600 pounds upwards.
As l was looking at selfridge's website l notice Marc jacobs bag's come in lots of difference style's , l'll have to keep an eye out  in future on marc jacobs bags.
As good quality handbag is hard to come by and cheap bags look good but always fall part quickly ,especially the zips. l'm fed up of replacing zips on bags.l'll be save up for this marc jacobs bag because l think it a quality bag and l think it last years. And some times it important to pay for quality.

Another think l notice in these designer shops is how great the customer service is. the staff are really friendly , the lady that served me didn't mind me asking how long it would be in stock for. As l need to know how long l had to save up for it.
She kindly told me it would be available untill Christmas , so l'll be saving hard for it  l'll update you if l manage to save up in time.

Check out marc jacobs if you want a designer bag that doesnt cost to much but looks nice.
