Over Labor Day weekend this year we went down to New Jersey, and during down time, I was able to crochet this purse that Dao Lam designed (based on one that she saw in Nordstroms-
here's the pattern). It was very quick to make, and its a good size for a purse. I didn't have any ribbon the right color or size for the outside so I pinned on a crochet flower pin that I had made a while ago. For the handle, I whipped stitched on one off of a cheap purse I bought at Goodwill.
