you're now looking at a local artist

i've got such good news!
a local vintage shop here in manhattan is going to be selling my bags! wa hoo! excited noises!

i'm ridiculously excited and i've been sewing like a mad woman!
it has seriously become my new full-time job. i'm sewing 9-5 (or more like 10-6) at least for this week and i'm loving it even though hunching over the sewing machine is making my back hurt. (not that i'm complaining!)

anyway, i've got four bags done (since yesterday) but i'm not ready to post any photos yet.
so until then, you can check out my etsy shop
and i've been included in the kansas etsy team treasury- so cool (you can leave comments on this page)
and you can check out t-la-re, the store i'm soon to be featured in :) i wish you could all come visit and celebrate with me and see just how darn awesome this shop is (with or without my stuff in it)

i'm leaving you with my photo booth shoot of me and my favorite hat.
or as it's become, my "thinking" cap


i don't know why i love it so much. i may or may not have slept in it last night, too.

  7. Hey thanks for stopping in and saying Hi...congrats on your bags. I checked out your etsy shop and I wish I was more solvent so I could buy that adorable faux grais brown/burnt orange bag.

    My best, Lynn

  8. Congratulations. That is great news. I found your blog on SITS this morning. It looks delightful. Can't wait to read more. And no it isn't silly to get excited to be above 100. I get excited when I'm above 200!
