I love john’s little shirt in this.  Hes so cute!  I’m sure I would of had a crush on him then too.   The funny thing is we look about the same age here, but I’m probably about 4 and hes about 8.   He said he didn’t grow much for a long time.   My mom always told me to watch out for those late bloomers.

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.All 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!!!!

Squash Blossom has my bags in stock now.  Just dropped these three today.

They were unpacking some really fun vegan leather jackets when I went by there that were like $75.oo!!  My bags of course are soooooo NOT vegan, but I do what I can to get reclaimed leather.

do you ever look at my blog anymore?  I saw these on SoulPancake today and thought of you.  The top one especially reminds me of the book that you made.  I would like to see your book again someday.  Where is it?

I love SoulPancake!  Its a much better way to use internet time than some other things I get sucked into.

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.

Tula has always layed on whatever Im working on.

I found a yellow envelope in my car this morning with a note written on it and a photo inside.   I was next instructed to check the mailbox.

So, if you dont know we have FOUR doggies:

1. Tula (papillion- big ears)

2. Lilu  (hound mix – looks like a doe)

3. Sammy (white mini schnauzer- like a lamb)

4.  Reuben (chocolate lab pit mix- sweet bear)

Anyway, we have a stash of towels that drive me crazy because I know they’ve been used to dry the dogs off, wipe dirty feet, etc.  I dont want to use these towels on my body.  I went and got 3 cozy white human only towels the other day and I was trying to figure out what to do with the retired towels.  Hmmmmmm, “ive been wanting to make some dog beds lately, I have good dye colors, towels would be hard to chew…”  So, there it is.    So far, Sammy and Tula have been good models.

Its on my etsy

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.
