One day while browsing through Uncommon Objects in Austin, Texas, we noticed Robin Brown, founder of Magnolia Pearl. She was shopping with her partner, John Gray, and they were looking at beautiful antique Parisian purses. I introduced myself and explained that we had mutual friends, Patricia Hamm , owner of Whimsey's , Belinda Morgan, owner of Binky LaFaye. Robin was very friendly and explained her process of deconstructing to enable her to use the rare antique embellishments and textiles. Her work may be seen in her book, A Bit of Velvet and a Dash of Lace published by Country Living.
