As our mothers get older they take up activities to stay busy. Some take up golf or photography, others knit or do needlepoint. My incredibly talented mother takes her vintage Chanel handbags and “Bedazzles” them with the finest Swarovski Crystals. While this process of hand-glueing each one looks like a painstakingly process, my fabulous mother says it’s a labor of love for “my baby on her birthday”.  So as I approach my birthday this weekend I have already received the best gift of all. A bag with a history that my mom wore for 25 years and is now made incredibly new, fresh and fabulous for me to make my own history with. I love you my mommy…
