Scarlet Clover to speak at Womens' Tea, Cranbury NJ

I had the wonderful opportunity to speak at a Women's Tea in Cranbury, NJ on 17 May 2009. To share my story with others, of how Scarlet Clover came to be, is always a joy. I spent the afternoon with a few friends, and many strangers, all of which together we shed some tears of joy, lots of laughter, and praise's for our Lord.

Opening your heart, the seat of one's affection, to listen for what God is calling you to do, and acting upon it, with so many unanswered questions, is not an easy thing to do. It is human nature to want to be in control, and to have answers for everything, but if we are to act as true servants to Jesus Christ, we must be submissive, and let Him take control. It really means taking that leap of faith, believing, trusting, and knowing that God is going to provide ~ and provide He will, Abundantly!
In the autumn of 2003, I completely submitted myself to the Lord. I listened to Him. He led the way to what is now Scarlet Clover. SC has become a much desired line of handbags, all because of Him. I give all honor and glory to Him! He is the real genius behind the beautiful SC designs, I am simply the vessel.

"Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the council of elders. Put these things into practice, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress." I Timothy 4:14

The Large Day Bag - "Love"

Ah, to be in "Love" again. I continue to be smitten by this handbag. Although my fabrics change every couple of months, I still keep to the same color scheme, and style with my materials. The look always remains, well ~ Lovely.








This handbag is composed of wool, twill, cordurory, silk, cotton, vintage lace, denim, taffeta, satin, and a variety of buttons (young and old). "Love" has a hard bottom, with antique brass feet.









The rose has a long tradition of symbolizing love. It has pride of place in the fruits of the spirit. "Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Generosity, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control." (Gal. 5:22-23)
