Of course, I'm new to this so I've never tried dyiing with rosehips. You know, maybe I will take that amulet purse if you still have it. It keeps rolling around in my head, and then I thought if I saw it at a thrift store, I would probably come home with it. my e-mail is: rzhs@intouchmi.com. Let me know.
