Whether it be for walking the dog or pushing a stroller, a crossbody style bag comes in handy for carrying your keys and phone/camera…who knows when you might see a photo worthy sight while out for a stroll? It’s not only functional, but cute….we think Max and Molly are too!

Working on a new idea….

got a bunch of vintage vinyl ladies handbags at a sale this past weekend. I think I will add this look to my collection of upcycled bags.  This is my first attempt at painting one…a funky vintage vinyl one, that is.

Gettin’ ready for a show this weekend, maybe I will have a few of this style to take along and show with my other upcycled bags…we’ll see how well I like how they turn out :)
