Handmade with Heart

Handmade with pride, from back home it came.

A bag stitched with love, seeking reclaim.

Each thread a memory, soft and deep, of laughter, stories, and secrets we keep.

Nostalgia lingers in every seam.

A gentle reminder, a living dream.

So happy it makes this wandering heart — To carry a piece of home, never apart.
