Happy Labor Day!

We're heading to the cabin for the long Labor Day weekend. Yippee!!! The kids are already back in school, but this is still like our end of the summer celebration. I'm looking forward to a few days filled with sitting on the dock, looking for pollywogs, pretty sunsets over the lake and maybe a cocktail or two. Hope you get the chance to do something fun and relax a bit!

I've been stocking Bagel Creations with some new pouches, key fobs, and a fun new line of wristlets. While I'm away, enjoy Free Shipping over at both Bagel Creations and The Chico Cozy!

Cards and Stickers!

I'm so very excited! I recently received my order of mini cards and stickers from The Art of Joy. I absolutely love Joy's artwork and love to include her cards with my Etsy orders. Look at how awesome her cards are...

This time, I also decided to get some stickers to brighten up the outside of my packages a bit. What do you think?

Joy is always adding fun new designs. Plus, she has personalized address labels, calendars, and of course, cards and stickers in lots of other fun designs!

I'm off to pack orders and use more of my cards and stickers! Fun!!!

How Exciting!

I was on the front page of Etsy today!

The Possible Bag

I'm so excited to introduce this new design! I designed The Possible Bag out of my need to have a small bag that I could carry easily while hauling around my 18 month old son.

I used to carry around a zip pouch with my cell phone in it. However, by the time I unzipped it and wrestled my phone out, I usually missed the call! And I had my cash and cards in a separate pouch. So, this fun little number features one zip pocket and one snap pocket. I slip my cell phone in the snap pocket and then slip my cash, cards, and my lip gloss in the zip pocket.

The wristlet has a swivel clip on it so I can wear it on my wrist or clip it to the stroller, shopping cart, a larger bag, or my belt loop. I can even clip my keys to it!

I just love this little bag and I really like making them! I'm excited to make more in lots of fun fabrics. I'll be listing them soon in my Etsy shop!

Rainy Day

It seems it has been raining for days here in northern California. We've had quite a few gray dreary days and this weather is supposed to continue throughout the week. I really can't complain, though. We need the rain so badly. After a very dry winter, the rain is welcome. I decided to search Etsy for rain inspired items. I hope you like them.
