Handmade Cosmetic Bags

We were thrilled to receive a box FULL of handmade cosmetic bags and other bags for personal care items from our follower Jini who lives in New Mexico.  We love when we receive donations from individuals and we are always so humbled when we see so many people who are eager to serve by shipping items to us at their own expense.  If you visit our Facebook page (link is at the top left of the page) you will  be able to watch a video of our opening the box from Jini.

Just take a look at how adorable and creative some of the handmade cosmetic bags are that Jini made:

Each bag is unique and so colorful.  I love them all, but I wanted to highlight a couple of my favorites.  I love the first bag because it can be used to store makeup brushes.  I am always hunting around to find the right brush, and with a bag like this, which is open and free-standing, it’s easy to always see what brush is the right one.

Isn’t this one adorable, too?!?!?  It’s perfect for nail polish!

The best news is that we were able to use most of these fabulous handmade cosmetic bags as soon as we received them!  We had heard about a family of Iranian refugess who spent TEN YEARS on their journey to America.  Look at the smiles on their faces (bottom picture) when they received their bags full of makeup!

Thanks again, Jini!  We are so thankful for your work and generosity!
