i got a TRI POD!!!

finally! now that i have been knitting up cowls and scarves i realized that my arm is only so long.  i feel really dumb taking pics by myself when i am outside and my neighbors are probably looking at me like i am nuts, but that's all part of the fun of running your own online store i guess.  oh and here are new items from my shop!

2 in 1 clutch combo!!

this one needs a name cause i think i'll actually keep this design and recreate it in different leathers, faux and reclaimed. did you ever take out your clutch and find you needed more room all of a sudden? i have worked all weekend on this problem and come up with my clutch combo.
should you need more room all of a sudden just unfold this clutch and move a couple straps around and voila!!!!! and really sleek hand/shoulderbag!

here are some more views:

sneak preview part 3

friends think maybe i am making things too complicated on myself by creating different accessories. but i say i have creative A.D.D. so i don't know what else to do with myself. maybe it also comes from the fact that i have a hard time buying accessories for myself so i have been having fun making them and it's really neat to make things that i haven't seen anywhere.

anyway here's a sneak peek at some more jewelry that will be at my HOLIDAY TRUNK SHOW on dec 12!

sneak preview part 2

ooh la la the ruffle clutch in charcoal reclaimed leather and studs! has a removable strap and organic twill interior. i wanna take it out drinking with me.

sneak preview

just finished this clutch yesterday, it's for my upcoming holiday trunk show dec. 12. made from reclaimed leather, it also features a removable strap, i'm hungry so that's all i can write.

holiday trunk show!!!!

during the holiday season i usually like to partake in various craft fairs but money has been a little scarce. the good news is that this has made a little fire under my behind to finally plan a holiday shopping extravaganza of my own. i am having my own holiday trunk show!!!

in my quest to offer a diverse selection of fine handmade goods i have taken up jewlery making, hammered pieces to be specific. i really like working with metal, it just another extension of all things beautiful to adorn yourself.

so, come on down!!!! december 12 from 11am - 5pm
it's the holidays, time to celebrate and shop. come by to mingle and find contemporary handcrafted items for the special people on your gift list.

sterling silver jewelry, knitted hats, reclaimed leather clutches & special guest homegrownheavyz: maker of deluxe sized skateboards!!

drink SHOP & be merry!!

oh YEAH!

most of the time i am a terrible procrastinator. i mean really really bad. i will walk by a pile of clean clothes 20 times and not fold them. it's really not cool at all. shamefully i will tell you that at times the pile of clothes will be on the bed and we sleep with them in the bed. gross.

it is a SHOCK that only yesterday i mentioned reusing leather from previously worn garments to create some of my clutches, and here is one already! amazing.....
i am keeping this one cause i think i should. take a look at my etsy store for more clutches.

pardon my absence

from your life. I have been undergoing much thought about bungaloe, where it's headed and what i like to create. i finally got the faux leather i ordered about 2 weeks ago just in time to make something new and exciting for the Henri Bendel "open see" which was held on Oct 23rd.

well things just weren't going the way i thought they would, i didn't go. BUT i am not too sorry. the last two weeks have been again filled with doubts and questions about what i am doing and what i WANT to do. i spent a lot of time knitting - which is another creative outlet i really want to explore - and just letting things come. here's my newest design it's part of my 'fleather' line of bags and accessories.

that's it for now! i have more designs in the works, one of my other dilemma's is how to change my esty store, stay cohesive and not freak people out because i am completely changing direction.........
