First Video!

Hello! 

Today I have something fun and new to share with you! 

I finished my first video blog! 

It's pretty self-explanatory so I won't do a big description and I will let you go ahead and watch it.

I feel a bit silly in front of the camera. Yet, I felt that adding videos to my repertoire would not only help you get to know my products, but help you get to know me a little better as well!


So I hope you enjoy this beginner-attempt video of What's currently in my bag!
Suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks for watching!
Katie

Here are some peeks around our home I captured

as I prepared for last weekend's craft show and for some upcoming projects. 

The new hang tags are working it on our spring bags! 

I moved my fished plant to the bathroom to soak up the sun and humidity.

It's blooming now! 

I built two bookshelves for my handmade bags while baking muffins.

Watch out, Martha Stewart!

I prewashed some new cotton prints to make a couple more Sugar Pop Tops for summer.
Soon time for Me Made May!

Downtown Glenside Art Festival

Another show down!
This past weekend we visited Glenside with our handbags. The Hub and I are continuously working on ideas to make our tent look less "tenty" so for this show we purchased two more bookshelves and filled them with our colorful collection.

I just ordered an official banner for our tent and we added some sheer curtains along the back of our booth to test out a way to make the feel more polished. That's still in progress..

Our next show is at Penn's Landing for the Art Star Craft Bazaar.
May 10th and 11th. Check out their website for details! 

Weekly Update: Week 2 + 3

Hey there!
Like our new look?

(Template from Beautiful Dawn Designs)

Yesterday felt like the day to take a professional step with the blog.
So we put on a new set of work clothes!

Last weekend I was out of town, so I decided to post a combined update this week.

This week brought a new bag into town.
The Velvet Town Bag in Lavender!

I have been crazy about lavender lately.

We also designed some packaging for our silk scarves and started working on a few more new products.

New business cards and hang tags arrived this week! 

We can't wait to take these beauties to the show!

See you next week!

Weekly Update: Week One

Hey there!
In case you missed my last post, let me fill you in on where I have been all week!

a girl named katie is preparing for five spring craft shows!
And because I am super busy in the studio preparing for these shows, I have decided to just blog once a week until the show season slows down. 

Here is our event list for the spring!

So here is our first weekly update:

This week I finished a lot of bags and I am preparing to finish some more next week.
(They are so pretty, I just can't wait!)

I introduced two new bags and they are in the shop!

 The Town Bag with a Merlot Pink Bow.

The Velvet Town Bag in Ballet Pink

Don't forget, the 30% off sale is still going on!
Use the code: FB300 

The new bags are included in this sale. 

These are limited edition!
So grab your favorite before they are sold out!

See you next week!

Katie

Color Swatch: Radiant Orchid

So, you probably heard that radiant orchid is the color of the year.
And personally, I am loving it and have been before I even knew it was this year's trend.
Last year I bought a bunch of it. I thrifted blouse, a beautiful ponte knit, melton wool, and some suede, which I used to make a handbag of course!
So far I only made two of these orchid beauties but boy are they gorgeous?!
 (Coming to the website soon!)

I couldn't help but put together a little inspiration board for all the ladies that love the color orchid as much as I do!

Pillow; Keurig; Icecream; Room; Handbag; Coat

Stay tuned for pictures of more of my orchid creations!

Happy Monday!
