I have been so busy sewing, I have not had time to post pictures of many of my new items. Today I am posting pictures of my new handbags. I will have some of them available this coming Saturday at my last craft show of the season at Bear Creek High School. Here is the info:
Bear Creek High School Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair
Saturday, December 3, 2011
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
9800 W. Dartmouth P.
(N. of Hampden, E. of Kipling)
$2 Admission
Get ready for LOTS of pictures. Originally, I planned on posting one handbag a day but that was a week and half ago. We will be leaving for our family Disney Vacation this Sunday (very early)...so excited! So, I decided to post pictures of all my new handbags in one posting. I have also had my Etsy shop on vacation mode for a lot longer than I expected (I need to update my shop notice). I have sold many of the handbags, bookmarks and large rose pins on my Etsy shop at craft shows. I will need to update the shop when I re-open it. Now, I realize, I will probably have it on vacation mode through the end of December with our Disney vacation coming up and the Christmas Holiday. So, whatever handbags don't sell at the Bear Creek Craft show or become Christmas gifts, I will post on my Etsy shop in January 2012.
One more thing, all the felt was originally wool sweaters purchased at my local thrift store. All the vintage buttons, earrings (bling), crochet flowers and lace came from local estate sales. I love incorporating all my vintage finds into my handbags and other things I make.
