Sorry for the lack up updates lately. Classes have started and work is now in full time mode for now, so i haven't had much time to create and/or list anything new. I promise SOON i will though. I'm planning a few shows for the next 3 months, so most of my items that are NOT listed will be appearing in the shows, so I'm trying to keep a good amount of items saved for the shows, that way i don't have to unlist items for this reason. But i promise what doesn't sell at these shows WILL be listed eventually.
First Shop Review!
So I just purchased a custom Messenger Bag off of Etsy from Kelly of SimplySage, and I decided to write a little review about her product.
I originally posted an Alchemy request for this PERFECT bag I wanted to hold my laptop. I got a response from a few people, but SimplySage had experience with messengers and I liked her style. She used the EXACT fabric and clasp that I wanted and worked WITH me to create my perfect bag. Constant contact with updating photos to keep in the loop of the process to took to make my bag! It was so exciting to be able to see my bag from start to finish! Every inch of this bag is store quality! I don't think I would EVER be able to get a bag of this great quality in the stores!! She even sent me fabric samples to feel and test for durability, and pick which one I wanted. The bag is SO soft and not stiff and brittle like most "Jansport" bags. I'll defiantly feel safe using this bag everyday for my precious laptop. And the price was better then I can ask for!
Thank you SimplySage for your Beautiful bag! I will be telling everyone who compliments this bag (which will be ALOT) all about you! So be prepared to have many, many, many new customers!

New Blog Look
So, since I'm trying to use my blog MORE for advertising my Shop and products, I thought a more organized, professional look would be better. So I spent about 3 hours making a 3 column layout and added more blogs to my blog list and fixed up a few things! Give me feedback! I want to know if my blog is YAY or NAY!
2 Treasuries!!! YAY!
I made it into TWO Team LICE Treasuries! Make love to them!!
