New Holiday bags are in!
If you didn’t already see them last week, here they are!
I added eight new simple, yet glamorous evening/ cocktail clutches to the shop. I made these for a Holiday shopping boutique I attended a couple weeks ago, and thought I’d offer them up to everyone.
These are a bit smaller that my usual over sized clutches, but I can make them in any size requested. 
The Lacey’s:
Lace in Grey, Black, Fuchsia, and Dark Teal. And a mesh lace in Gold!
Textured Shimmers:
Tiered Hearts, Grey Scales, and Waves.
Check them all out in the Shop. Place your Holiday orders! Drop me a message for custom requests.
Signs of Fall.
Fall is slowly arriving here. The Pumpkin Spice latte has been available at Starbucks for a few weeks, but I haven’t felt quite ready to order one yet. We barely had a Summer this yer and the few really nice days we did get came in August, and September has been full of warm weather too. This week, I feel like I just started to notice the signs of fall. Leaves on the ground, and a chill in the air, although the weather is still mostly great.
I always love the Summer to Fall transition. It’s my favorite. I Love a scarf over a tank top, and this is really the only time of year it works! So, I will be taking advantage.
This has been my go to bag all month. It goes with EVERYTHING. I am pretty stoked on it, but excited to break out the pink and tan pretty soon!!!
Tank: Sarah via Emily via Urban Outfitters 5 years ago.
Jeans: Nordstrom Rack
Flats: Some cheap shoe store at the Outlet mall…
Scarf: Forever 21
Purse: KRUST
Hope everyone is having fun breaking into their fall wardrobes! I sort of can’t wait to really dig into mine.
Fall 2011: Geometry.
I am so excited to share my new fall bags with you today!!! I went a different direction this time, and sort of kept with a theme. I am still using my core fabrics; the Tan, Grey and Black Duck canvas. It’s just a great sturdy fabric. And I LOVE the Tan color it comes in.
Check out the 10 new bags!!!
I knew I wanted to do a chevron stripe for the new fall line. And I had been wanting try to working in some neons and some variation of neons and neutrals together. This was as far as I went and I am so pleased with it. The Tan and pink is my absolute favorite bag. Although I do really love them all!
Get your Chevron cross body bag in the SHOP. Available in Tan/Pink, Grey/Green, or Black/White.
This is one design I came up with one day while doodling and sketching over the summer.
I came across this salmon linen before coming up with the design and when I was sketching, it felt like a no brainer to include it in this new line with the grey, tan and black. I LOVE this salmon color.
Get your Angled clutch in the SHOP. Available in Tan, Grey, Black, or Salmon.
I drew this one up one afternoon while babysitting this summer. I had discovered this teal denim a few months back and used to make a doily clutch with. I KNEW I wanted to use it again and somehow incorporate into the fall line I wanted to do. Once I finished the drawings, I was so excited to get to work on them. These were the first of the fall line that I had started and finished. Seeing them all done really motivated me to get the rest done. I LOVE how they came out.
Get your triangle clutch in the SHOP. Available in Teal, Black, or Tan.
Thanks for coming to check out the new bags! Let me know what you think.
I plan to continue to add to this line with other colors and designs throughout the Fall months. So, do stay tuned for more!
Peek a boo.
I’m pretty wiped out tonight. So, I am only sharing one quick (revealing) photo of one the new bag designs! I finished these first, and LOVE the way they turned out. This pic was a couple weeks ago, while I started working on the line.
Are you at all intrigued? Check back tomorrow for another peek at bags from the new line. All new bags will be available on Thursday September 1st! I am so excited to take real pictures of them all together today. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
Stripes and Hearts for Bridesmaids.
The devine, Miss (Soon to be Mrs!) Melissa over at Hi Baby contacted me a few weeks back about putting together some bags that she could gift to her Bridesmaids. I was, again, super excited to get to work on an order for Bridesmaids! She chose the Grey and White striped zipper clutches with pink lining, and pink heart zipper tags. It was so fun getting them all ready, and I Loved getting to see them all together and stacked up when they were finished. Bulk orders are the best!
Not ONLY am I sharing photos of the finished product, but I also want to let you all know that Melissa has put together some AMAZING Wedding week giveaways. Melissa is getting married this weekend and has set up 5 giveaways for each day leading up to her big day! And on day one she has offered up one of my bags!!! So head over and enter, and check out the other giveaways that are up already, and watch for the 2 to come tomorrow and Friday!
Congratulations Melissa! I cannot wait to see pictures of your special day <3
Week(s) in iPhone #14
Some photos from over the last two weeks, about.
I painted my nails a lot! Thank you, Pinterest for the constant inspiration! I worked on drawing up NEW bag designs (which I am SOOO excited for), with the help from my nephew. Keep an eye out! Seriously. Emily and I put some fun colors in our hair. I made new hang tags for bags heading out. I worked on an order for some Bridesmaids!!!! I ate leftover BDay ice cream (note: I need to go back to Hagen-Dazs for more). I put my feet in the sprinklers while babysitting. I watched on while my AMAZING brother replaced my squeaking brake pads, so I could drive safely to Lake Tahoe! Oh, and then I went to LAKE TAHOE!
I spent 2 quick days in beautiful Incline Village with Lisa and her family. I had my own bedroom and got to breath the fresh mountain air and sit by the lake for a nice quick, cheap vacation. Just what I needed right now. I wish I could have stayed longer. But, there’s always next time. I hope :)
I got back home late Tuesday night last week, and have been so busy since! Working on getting out bag orders! and lot’s of babysitting. I’m trying to make all the money I can right since I am moving in TWO WEEKS!!!! More on that later…. 
Oh hey, how about some links!
Have you seen this outfit post from Elsie! My heart was pounding so fast when I checked my reader and saw that <333
I really want this dress, but in another color… Thinking about recreating my own!
Totally want to do this zig-zag shorts DIY, minus the studs.
I very much NEED to replicate my sewing machine with Legos. I think my family will agree.
A Krust booth.
I have been meaning to share a few quick pictures of what my little booth looked like at the Car show I set up at earlier this month. I had a lot of fun sort of mapping the space out beforehand and even more fun once I got there and got to work. I can’t wait to do more events like this! I Love setting my bags up in fun shop able displays.
See all the bags shown here in detail with links to buy IN THIS POST.

All In A Golden Afternoon.
I am getting ready to revamp the blog and the shop… I have new bags to list and I just want to revamp the blog a bit, I always do!
I will be moving in the next month or so… I have not started packing at all! While I am excited to move (back to San Mateo where my family is) I, of course am a little anxious for all the work it entails, and the possibility of having to out my shop on vacation for a few days until I get set up again. But, I am ready to get out of Sunnyvale. Ready to be closer to my Dad, Brother, Sister in Law, Niece, Nephews, Aunt, and my close friends. I am ready to move into a bigger space with my Sister, and to create a new work space and get a bit of a fresh start.
Today, I put together bag orders and ran a few much needed errands. Shopped for Fabric, and wedding gifts, and made a post office trip. I sent a doily clutch to Paris, France. It felt a little exciting. Maybe one of my clutches will encounter the Eiffel Tower?!?! My bags travel more than I do. Brave little bags, they are…
As I was out, I saw this lovely flowered archway and had to stop for photos! Even though my outfit is nothing to be photographed really. But, I do love it. This shorts have made the way in to my summer essentials. I got these at the Abercrombie outlet last summer for a camping trip. (I didn’t really much in the way of shorts last summer. This year it’s a whole new story. I live in shorts.) I didn’t end up wearing the darn shorts on the camping trip, because I wore one pair on the first day and realized how silly it was to switch shorts while camping. I wasn’t showering so why change shorts? Anyway, I remembered I had them and broke them out last week, and have worn them probably 5 out of 7 days so far. I fixate on things…
Little bread-and-butterflies kiss the tulips, and the sun is like a toy balloon. There are get up in the morning glories, in the golden afternoon. There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside, strings of violets are all in tune, Tiger lilies love the dandy lions, in the golden afternoon, the golden afternoon. There are dog and caterpillars and a copper centipede, where the lazy daisies love the very peaceful life they lead… You can learn a lot of things from the flowers, for especially in the month of June. There’s a wealth of happiness and romance, all in the golden afternoon. … All in the golden afternoon, the golden afternoon… You can learn a lot of things from the flowers, for especially in the month of June. There’s a wealth of happiness and romance, oh…the golden afternoon!
Let’s admire the pattern forming.
The weather has been amazing here! I have been getting a lot of work done but still making sure I get out and enjoy the weather plenty. I spent a few hours Tuesday out by the pool with Lisa (don’t be too jelly, I may not have a pool after August, so I’m really taking advantage this Summer). This week is going by quick, on top of filling bag orders, sitting by the pool and taking extra babysitting hours, It feels like it’s just about over already. The days, weeks, and months are going by really fast right now. I’m not sure I like it. This is an exciting time in my life and I really want to soak it all in. I also want to accomplish a lot before the Summer is over and I’m starting to feel overwhelmed with the time flying by! I need to really buckle down to be sure I get it all done, and still try to enjoy myself in the meantime. Shouldn’t be too hard. But it is, after all, called WORK for a reason.
These pictures are from Monday afternoon actually. I made a quick trip to the post office. The usual. I had never really carried the Tan doily clutch, so I thought I’d rock it. I kept my outfit pretty neutral. I’m not very ballsy when it comes to fashion. I wish I was sometimes. But, at the end of the day, I do really love my browns, tans, greys, and blacks.
