"Love this little phone bag!"
I also have the Macaws in the Jungle bag too and I love them both equally! Quality-made and the colors are beautiful too. My LG Fiesta 2 fits AOK and I can keep my credit card and cash in the bag along with my phone too.

"This cell phone bag is very pretty and shows a mothers love!"
First, I must say that this phone bag is one of many items I have purchased from Ms. Sanchez, including cell phone bags, sling bags, a coin purse, a wall hanging, and a pencil case . She is an extremely talented and imaginative artisan. Her portrayal of the beauty of her country delights me and makes me wish I could visit Peru. If you study her applique work you will find many interesting and beautiful things. I truly love everything she has made and sent to me, and I thank her.

"too pretty for pens"
I purchased this to carry my pens but when it arrived it was just too beautiful to be tucked away in my bag so I put it up on my wall. The craftmanship is spectacular and I just love looking at it.

"I was a little nervous when I offered this to my brother and sister-in-law"
as a hanging for the nursery a few months before their first child was born. But my sister-in-law is a big traveler and it was fine for a boys or girls room, so I offered it. She was delighted and her mom designed the babys room around it (llamas on the curtains!). They used it for both kids. One would regularly insist on being held up to look at it carefully after a diaper change. I always try to be a cool auntie. This wall hanging was my first success.

"Beautiful and Functional Cell Case"
Ms. Sanchezs embroideries are both spectacular and functional. We have one of her wall hangings, which is very whimsical. Also Ive given several of these phone cases and also the cosmetic cases as gifts. The details of the images are wonderful. Im partial to the ones with flowers and animals. I use this case in particular to carry my phone around the house when I dont have pockets and it works great. Its nice to have something fun and beautiful that also has a practical use. Definitely one of your big fans. Thank you for making my life more interesting.
