Here she is! Just off the needles. This is only a scan--hopefully tomorrow I can get a digital photo. For the bottom I used a skein of Lopi and a skein of fingering weight handpainted yarn I bought on eBay; for the top yellow cotton and Artful Yarns Pastry; for the handles, Pastry and beige cotton. All yarns came from my stash except the Pastry--that was a lucky find at my LYS.
I was inspired to use a button closure instead of a zipper (which is what the pattern calls for). The top of the purse didn't come out quite as wide as the one in the book, so a zipper really wasn't necessary. I pretty much followed the pattern other than that, except I made mine a bit taller, so it could hold the necessary stuff.
Great pattern!
