If you mention that you read my blog at the show I will give you 10% off your purchase!!!

Introducing...The Micro Messenger

So I've made a few messenger bags this summer and they've all sold pretty quickly. I've also had several custom orders for messengers and plan on making more for the fall shows.

All of my designs come out of a particular need that I have for a bag (or headband, or wallet, etc.). I love my messenger bags for meetings or when I need to load up a bunch of necessities for my children, but what about when I'm just heading out shopping? Enter: The Micro Messenger. This bag is a more compact version of the larger messenger, only about 9" by 9", but has all the same features: magnetic snap, interior pockets, flap, and long adjustable handles. I plan on making a few for the Women's Fest---what do you think?

Founders School Craft Show 11/8/08

This Saturday, November 8th I will be at Founders School in Essex Town. I have been working hard to stock up for all of my fall shows. Stop by to check out some of my new items including belts, zippered clutches, and coin purse keyhains---all in hip new fabrics!

Mad River Valley Craft Fair

My Labor Day weekend was spent at the Mad River Valley Craft Fair in Waitsfield, Vermont. The weather was beautiful and many turned out to shop and enjoy the entertainment. I met many wonderful crafters and look forward to returning to this event next year.

If the weather holds out, I will be back at the Burlington Artist Market this coming Saturday!
