I haven't taken Mom's bag out for a run yet, but I've got a couple of things coming up...I would love to show it off...and YOU'RE WELCOME...straight from the heart.Amy Lilley Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907512787759970646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163278516803757057.post-11156866079209638612008-08-07T19:25:00.000-06:002008-08-07T19:25:00.000-06:00I love the shape of the frame on that bag from Par...I love the shape of the frame on that bag from Paris, what a treasure.
