now for sale

Even though it's been two weeks its still new News...My handbags are officially on sale at another location! I have two exclusive designs for sale at Cobblestone Cafe in Waynesville. ( http://www.cobblestonevillageandcafe.com/ ) I can't tell you how excited I am about it. Currently there are six different handbags in each of the two styles. There all displayed together, kind of like a collection, in the retail side of the store!
Since the order for the purses down there started, I've been experimenting with doing more of a series type design. I'm basically concentrating on one main fabric, then trying to make two totally different purses from that. There are two series I've done so far this way and love it. It really just adds in a whole new challenge when picking out of fabric and the design for the bag. Which is my favorite part. It's a great way to have similar handbags with out have the same one. And of course you can always just work with me on picking out fabrics so its even more tailor made. Here are the series and hang tags I've made...

around a town

I should be packing or maybe getting ready somehow but I thought I'd fill you in for a minute. I'm headed down to Flordia and Nashville...for sure to see the sun but I'm also excited to check out boutiques. Plus I sure the beach will be inspiring so there should be new designs to come soon! That being said please check back with here and on Etsy for some things up and coming. I can't wait!

my baby...the clutch

I am absolutely in love with this one! I came up with a clutch pattern and can't get enough of it. Over the past week I've made more of those than anything else. Most of them are turning out more retro than my other work and so cute. If you have any advice on interfacing though I would love to hear it. I found a fusible fleece that does the job but I think I could even go with something stiffer. So that down the road the clutch will still hold the perfect shape it is now. Okay check these out and just wait...to be officially on sale soon!!
