Today I sent six bags out to new shop that seems like a perfect match!  Its called PAULA and its in Tustin, Ca.  Next week is their four year Anniversary, so the bags should get there just in time!

Ive been having fun making all kinds of new things like necklaces and earing with the smallest of leather scraps.IMG_0101All the holiday shows and opening are QUICKLY approaching!  I have so much to do including making an artist tree for the For-Ever-Green Artist Christmas Tree lot.  Im so excited!  I went to the show last year and wanted to make my own tree as soon as I got home.  The opening is Dec. 3rd, the same night as the opening for the Mini Angel Boutique that I will be putting bags in! Whewwwww!!!!

I have lots to say about where I got these amazing chairs.  Im not ready to yet though.    This photo would look much better if I had a screen to filter the sun a little.   Oh yeah and a way better camera.  Thats fine though.   I am loving the summer.

This hair dryer chair still works!!  It blocks out sound around you and  you cant hear much.   Its like your in some kind of time machine or meditation seat.   My grandmother, Mary Ellen, did hair and Ive been told this was her first hair dryer.  Years later she gave it to my other grandmother who is named Francis, so she could dry her hair at home.    I got it from her basement a few years ago.

I just finished this new bag in the seat.  Its in my etsy store.   Im basically building inventory for some trunk shows in the fall.
