I'm heading down to my sister's salon tomorrow. As far as I know none of my handbags have sold, but all the make-up pouches have sold, so I've made some more of those to take down with me.
I've also made some tissue pouches to take down, as folks seem to be buying smaller gifts at the moment.
I'll give you an update on sales when I return on Thursday.
Thanks Elisa for your wonderful package of treats & Bee Blessed blocks. Elisa is my lovely friend across the water in USA, and writes her blog with honesty, passion and creativity - pop on over and say hi!

| I've always admired & desired one of Elisa's signature origami cranes. And now I have one to keep my other crane company. What should I call them? |
Also in the post was the fabric I've ordered for my dad's 70th birthday Civil War quilt.
Charlotte at The Homespun Loft was an absolute super-star in helping me choose the fabrics I needed, using her discerning eye to guide me on what worked together, and making up & photographing a bespoke bundle just for me. Thanks Charlotte so much for your first-class service and attentiveness.
Have a great Wednesday!
Great bundle of fabrics! And your little pouches are cute!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder those pouches are selling well, they are gorgeous, and I ove how each one is unique. I await the update to see if you have sold any of those wonderful bags yet!!
ReplyDeleteI popped over to Elisa's blog to say hi x
Those pouches are darling...they will most definitely sell out before Christmas!
ReplyDeleteyour pouches are so adorable. I can't wait to see the update on the sales. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Judith! Yes, your pouches are very pretty maids all in a row, and the tissue cozies are wonderful, too. (The latter are just the right size, too, for a small cell phone like mine). They are all just lovely. Thanks for your sweet comments and link to my blog as well. That selection of Civil War fabrics looks just beautiful together-- Charlotte did a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteElisa is a darling - and my crane says hi to yours! I think you could call one Bill as I love the plant Crane's Bill! Hehe!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric - will make a fantastic quilt! Well you'd better get on with it then!
Your pouches and tissue holders are perfect - I guess everyone is feeling the pinch and down-sizing their purchasing!
Oooh love the new make up bags and of course the tissue holders of which I'm a proud owner. :-) Can't wait to see what you do with the civil war repro fabric
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the crane I knew the package was from Elisa. She is getting famous in blogland! Lovely blocks from her and great fabric for your dad. And the pouches - great selling. If I was there I would want the orange one in the middle. Love them all but that is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteYour pouches are lovely - I especially like the combination of plain grey with the brighter colours. I'm surprised none of your lovely bags sold.

Lovely pouches! Great package too, I adore that crane!
ReplyDeleteYour pouches are wonderful as are the little tissue bags, enjoy your visit with your sister - when you get back you have lovely sewing and bee blessed blocks to work on.
ReplyDeleteLove your pouches and tissue bags - your labels are a great finishing touch - good luck with selling them!
ReplyDeleteLove all your work there J!
ReplyDeleteNot sure where to start - well done on your sales so far, think you are right to concentrate on small stuff I keep hearing of so many disappointments at fairs etc, just don't think people are spending.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Civil War progress.
you have been busy with all those pouches and tissue holders: they look great. love the civil war quilt material too
ReplyDeleteThe pouches are really gorgeous and should sell so well xxx
ReplyDeleteLucky Dad x
lovely pouches, I was going to say I want the orange one but I see Susie got there first... :-p Glad you are getting some sales, dont worry bout the bags, its early yet!
ReplyDeleteHi J, love those make-up pouches! I must have missed the original set because I haven't seen them before, but they're just gorgeous...what did you line them with? I'm using PVC on mine but it's tricky to work with...

LOve your fabric choices for the Civil War Quilt - very warm and cosy! Love all of those wee make-up bags and pouches you have been a busy girl!
ReplyDeleteLove you pouches all lined up like lovely ladies waiting to go a courting!
ReplyDeleteYay for fun parcels. The names that immediately sprang to mind were Fred and Ginger, but don't ask me why! Love the pouches and tissue holders, I'm sure they'll be snapped up like the last lot :o) Good luck with the civil war quilt, the fabrics look great!
ReplyDeleteI love all those little bags lined up - gorgeous! I'm looking forward to watching your dad's quilt grow - sounds like a wonderful shop!
