I’ve been busy busy making more bags for the upcoming “A Gift Bag and a p:ear Tree” — local handcrafted holiday goods and p:ear benefit — this Sunday! Here are some Leah tote bags and Maggie pouches I will have at the art fair as well as my Etsy shop:
Introducing new fall colored Mini Maggie zippered pouches!! They’re great as a coin purse, for keeping your iPod and glasses scratch free or keeping things nice ‘n’ tidy in your big purse! Remember, there is a :: 15% off coupon code :: for all 5th Season items in the Etsy shop! […]
The ever-so-fabulous and wonderfully talented :: Margaret Jacobsen :: was kind enough to shoot my bags for me. We were accompanied by her two adoooooorable babies who were very helpful! What a lovely way to spend my afternoon! Here are the new Leah tote bags and Mini Maggies in toasty fall colors: :: […]
I am SO excited fall is here! It’s my favorite season…sweaters, scarves, hot chocolate, pumpkin pies, cinnamon + cardamom, warm colors, turning leaves, coffee shops on rainy days…gah, love it. I had a ball picking out the fabric for the new fall line — lots o’ wools, plaids, big print floral, […]

How could I have forgotten to mention I have “Alexa” wristlets?? Two of each design with their own cheeky tag lines. Bias edge on the burlap for a clean finish, nice ‘n’ thick burlap with additional fabric on the bottom for a sturdy structure. I upcycled a beautiful, deep violet […]
