Boho Accessorizing
June 13, 2013
I will be showing my boho upcycled accessories at “The Gables” in Springfield this weekend…weather permitting, Friday and Saturday. Here are a couple of boho headbands–these two have been sold, but I will have more at the show. (One of a kind, of course :) AND I will have upcycled bags, cuffs and choker/necklaces.
Bridesmaid Accessories
June 5, 2013
I like the trend in bridesmaid attire, where each attendant wears the style of dress that is flattering to her, colors are the same, but style is different. One-of-kind accessorizing is a perfect fit for this popular trend.
More Quirkiness

I’m making progress . Here are a couple of necklaces pictured with bags made in the same style of colorful quirkiness.

Mulling around a new idea–thinking about adding quirky necklace creations to my collection of bags, headbands and cuffs. Upcycled, that is and created with fabric snippets,vintage buttons and coated striped colored wire. I think I like the light summery fun look of this one.

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!

Revamping My Studio Space
September 11, 2012

A Sweet Addition to the Studio…
March 9, 2012
Got this cute little sewing chair from Sara and Stacy at SugarSCOUT–they have “super sweet finds of all kinds”…just check out their Etsy Shop. (lots of great ideas on their blog @ www.sugarSCOUT.com, too!)
I do love spending time in my studio that has become a haven for creating my upcycled bags.
I’m adding new bags as quick as I get them done to my Etsy shop. Take a look…it’s called itzaChicThing.
