Slow Autumn Life | Making a Vintage Handbag & Cooking for One

This week at my little cottage in Greece, I'm trying something I've never done before: making a vintage-inspired handbag! Using an old, worn-out handbag as a pattern, some leftover denim from a previous sewing project, and a few salvaged pieces, I set out to make a quilted denim bag. It turned out to be quite a challenge, especially fitting the bag into its metal frame, but I'm very happy with the result! Life at the cottage also brought an unexpected 24-hour power cut, a little crocheting by candlelight, and some simple cooking. I'm finally putting the homemade herb salt from last week's video to the test with a delicious, easy meal of chickpeas and potatoes, olive oil and lemon. And a little update for those of you who were concerned about my eye after last week's unfortunate encounter with a stray cat: it's healing very well, thankfully! There's still a scar, which I'm treating with a repair cream, and I'm hoping it will fade with time. Thank you so much for all your lovely messages and concern. ❤️ Thank you for spending a little time with me here at the cottage. I hope you enjoy this week's creative projects and quiet moments of everyday life. 🤍 **Join my YouTube Membership** if you'd like to support Arietta's Vintage Life: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDh0-G9DTwcP1WXEo2Eg_aA/join **The Homemaker's Daily Companion** My digital planner for a more intentional life is available on my Ko-fi page: https://ko-fi.com/ariettasvintagelife #SlowLiving #CottageLife #Vinta
