Preparation for Fall Show has begun!

Now that we're past the Creative Neighbors Showcase, we've had a chance to regroup and get our plan together for our second show of the year! We must say, what a great year it's been!! Thanks to all of you that have supported us and purchased our products, we're able to do another show this Fall. Details are to come on what, when and where...but the final plan is in the works. As soon as we know, we'll let all of our followers know the details.

Aside from doing another show, we've really sat down and talked a lot about what to revise...what went well...and what we should do to improve. So, lucky for all of you...we're elaborating on some of our lower priced items to reach every pricepoint between $15-$60.

Here's our new pricing structure, details are to come on some of our newest styles. They will be flirty, fun and should appeal to a completely different type of bag user! Stay tuned for photos.

Kenzie Wristlet $15
Nellie Handbag $30 (new for Fall 2010)
Leile Purse $40
Anna Purse $50 (new for Fall 2010)
Tessa Tote $60
Chloe Hobo Bag $80 (Custom order only, includes matching Dipe-N-Wipe & Changing Pad)

We couldn't be more excited about what's to come for this season and again we thank you all for making our first year as a new company a really exciting and inspiring experience!

The Show is Over...Here is a Recap!

We ended up with rain but the show must go on!
We moved all the furniture around and made room for everyone inside and it worked out great! The weather had some factor on the turnout of people, but we sold half our bags!!
We felt for our first show it was really fun and a great learning experience. We definitely plan to do another show in the fall before Christmas ...we will let everyone know the date once we decide which show.
This was our set up.



We will post all the bags we have left after the show that are available for purchase. Just send us an email if you are interested in any of them.
We started custom orders and hope to soon have a link for the order form on the blog where you could fill it out and email it back to us!!
Thanks again to all the vendors and everyone who came out to support us!

Despite forecasts and this strange weather we're having this week. The show must go on! :)

At noon, the vendors will determine whether or not setup will be in or outside. Despite lightning, rain, sun or snow (we are in Indiana...) the show will still be happening, but with an indoor backup plan at the same address.

Let's all cross our fingers for perfect weather, like we've been having with a rain forecast everyday this week, but if things do get nasty please still stop in and say hi we are all so excited to showcase our products. Can't wait, it's on 24 hours away.

Remember to keep us in mind for gift similar to this; for things such as birthdays, mother's day, christmas and more! We're happy to work with you to get the right thing for that special person in your life.

Happy Mother's day mom, you're so great to our family.
