Do you need a stocking stuffer, gift for a friend, hostess gift? Maybe something for yourself. These #pursepals would be perfect. They're made from cork fabric, so they're sustainable and vegan. Cork is lightweight, easily cleaned, and naturally hypoallergenic. I only have these four available now, but they are ready to ship. DM me to get yours today!

UPDATE *** SOLD *** Is this not the perfect spring backpack? This is the #siahsidekick by @lindshandmade. I quilted the vinyl from @emmalinebags on the front and back panels. This beautiful floral print is another water-resistant cotton from @country_cow_designs and will be available soon. If you haven't tried any of this fabric from them yet, I urge you to order some and try it for yourself. I absolutely love theirs! This backpack has lots of pockets, and who doesn't love pockets? On the back is a vertical zipper pocket to keep your phone or keys within easy access without having to remove your backpack. Inside the bag there is another zip pocket, a water bottle sleeve, and a gusset pocket. Need a little more room in your gusset pocket or water bottle sleeve? Just unzip the side zippers for a bit more room. Maybe you don't need extra room but want a different look on your bag. Again, unzip the side zips and let the peek a boo pockets shine. Webbing from @georgiagirlstitches. Hardware from @bedazzledsupplies. This beauty is available and ready to ship. Imagine opening it up yourself or watching the joy in your loved one's eyes as she unwraps her one-of-a-kind gift. DM me to make this yours today!

UPDATE *** SOLD *** Tis the season to shop small. This cute bag is looking for a new home. It’s perfect for you or perhaps a gift for a loved one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is the #camibag by @georgiagirlstitches. One of my favorite style bags. It’s made of waxed canvas from @alfrancestextiles and a cute design by @cjldesigns from @spoonflower and printed on twill fabric. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The leather handles and the 1.5” wide webbing crossbody strap are from @georgiagirlstitches and give you options of ways to carry your bag. It has a divided slip pocket on both the outside and inside, plus a zip pocket inside. The “Handmade” zipper pull is from @sullivanstrim. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a really nice size at 9”h x 9.5”w (at the base) x 3.5”d. DM me to make it yours today.

This just might be the cutest backpack I’ve ever made! This is the new pattern by @lindshandmade, the #siahsidekick. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lots of storage space in this bag. There’s a zipper on the back to carry a phone or keys that you may need quick access to. A zipper pocket on the inside, a water bottle sleeve and a gusset pocket. And plenty of room inside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Speaking of gussets, did you notice the side zippers with those adorable gnome zipper pulls from @zippervalley and the black and red check zipper tape from @indolovekreation? They unzip to give you a bit more room for your interior side pockets, or just a different look for the bag. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve quilted cotton fabric many times, but I’ve never quilted vinyl for bags. In the video tutorial for making the bag, Lindsay (@lindshandmade) explained how she did it, so I decided to give it a try, and I have to say, I’m a definite fan! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This adorable gnome print by @whimsical_brush printed on recycled canvas at @spoonflower, has been in my stash just waiting for the perfect bag. I paired it with the leopard print waterproof canvas for the interior, and the whisky colored cotton webbing from @georgiagirlstitches. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are your thoughts on this style?

Another #sandhillsling by @noodlehead531, and folks, check out that fabric! It looks like stained glass! My mouth dropped open when I pulled it out of the package. It’s so beautiful!!🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My friend found this design on @spoonflower and I’m now hooked. The design is by heartofglass. You can see some of her newest designs on @rainbowfabric on Instagram. The design my friend wanted was too large for the bag, so I sent her a message and asked her to resize it, and she was so quick and willing to do that for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The size was perfect, and the bag….well, you can see how beautiful the fabric looked on this bag. There will be more bags with her designs in the future. I already have a backpack planned, so stay tuned for that 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The rust colored cork and the zippers, and the webbing from @georgiagirlstitches were the perfect accent to draw out the rust colored stems and flower centers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you think of this fabric? Make sure you swipe through the photos to see a closeup of this gorgeous design.

This is the Mini FireflyTote by @noodlehead531 and it’s looking for a new home. It makes a perfect project bag, keeping all of your items secure with the drawstring top. Don’t want to use the drawstring? Just tuck the fabric down inside and you have the perfect small tote. It would also make a cute lunch bag. The exterior is waxed canvas from @alfrancestextiles and leather handles from @georgiagirlstitches. Send me a DM for more info. This would make a great holiday gift for yourself or someone you love. 😉😉

How is it that these three items are still available? I absolutely LOVE this print. Obviously, since I used it for the lining of the wallets AND this cute pouch🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The two #classicziparountwallets are a really soft green leather from @tandyleather. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love how this style fits in my hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The pouch is the #quinnzippouch by @lbgstudio. It’s such a nice size to throw in your backpack or bag. Perfect for makeup, pens and pencils, or just keeping small items together and organized. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Any of these items would make a great gift for yourself or someone you love. The holidays are QUICKLY approaching! Shoot me a DM if you would like some more information on these items. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They are all available and ready to ship! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wallet patterns by @maggyfiftyfive

As promised, here is another adorable bag that didn’t sell last weekend. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This is the #minimakingbackpack by @noodlehead531. The outside and inside fabrics are both by @niyavii_design from @spoonflower. Sea Salt and Pink waxed canvas from @alfrancestextiles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This small backpack is the perfect size for all your essentials plus a smaller sized planner. It’s approximately 8”w x 10.5”h x 4.5”d. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This would make a beautiful gift for yourself or a loved one. It’s such a sweet, feminine backpack. Send me a DM if you need to have this bag in your life.

Update ** SOLD** The crowd seemed to be lighter at my show on Saturday than previous years so I have a few bags and wallets left that I’ll be sharing on here this week. If you’re interested in one, send me a DM. Sorry, the Guardian Backpacks both sold. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This cute fall Sandhill sling is looking for a new home. It’s the perfect sized bag when out and about. It’s approximately 11” x 7” and 3” deep. If you need to have this bag in your life, send me a DM.

I wasn’t sure I was going to show this before my show tomorrow because @charleyharper bags usually go very quickly, but Lindsay @lindshandmade convinced me otherwise. So here it is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This elephant print by Charley Harper was so fun to make into this #guardianbackpack. The black radiance webbing, and greenish gray leather from @georgiagirlstitches were perfect matches. The striped zipper tape from @zippervalley looks so good with the thin stripes in the fabric. Don’t forget to swipe through to see the zipper pull. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is one that, in my opinion, looks even better when standing back a bit. The whole Charley Harper design pops. Do you love elephants? In 2010 I was lucky enough to see them in the wild when I went to Kenya on a mission trip with my daughter. I can’t even explain the feeling of seeing these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. 🐘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re a Charley Harper, elephant, guardian backpack fan and you’re in the Cincinnati-Dayton area, come see me tomorrow at the Christian Village at Mason craft show. 9am-3pm

Are you looking for a new safe backpack to carry this winter? This winter scene is sure to bring some attention with the cute birds and pine cones. The design is by @cjldesigns and it’s printed on lightweight twill from @spoonflower. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It pairs so nicely with the blue vinyl from @bodeeoh and the webbing and leather from @georgiagirlstitches. I had a little fun with the zipper pull. Check it out 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The bag is the ever popular Guardian Backpack by @lindshandmade. What a great time of year to be carrying a bag that no one behind you can get into. When standing in line while shopping or doing all of those fun holiday things, you can be sure your items are safe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I will have this #guardianbackpack at my show this Saturday at the Christian Villages of Mason. I hope to see you there!!
