A Video Tour of My Travel Bag

This simple bag design continues to be one of the most popular bags we make. I thought it would be fun to show you what I carry in my crazy, bright travel bag.

What's in My Makeup Bag?

I think it's fair to say that I'm obsessed with YouTube videos. I watch makeup tutorials, thrift store hauls, craft how-to videos and more.

I thought it would be fun to try my hand at one of the YouTube standbys, the What's In My Bag? video.

Three Luxe Clutches in Vintage Navy Floral

Our Luxe clutch design has long been a popular bag for bridesmaids and many other customers. The simple rectangular shape can be made unique with endless fabric combinations.

Here is a short video where I explain how I used one vintage cotton print to make three different Luxe Clutches. This size is perfect for the essentials - phone, lipstick, keys and small wallet.

Mushroom Mania: Color Combinations, Video Style

I thought I would try something new with my handy smart phone. Here is a short video where I show you fabric and faux leather combinations.

(Please excuse the camera shake, I need to figure out a way to affix my phone to my tripod.)

Clever Ways to Wear a Scarf

I get quite a lot of inspiration from YouTube videos. I love seeing real people share their tips in fashion, crafts, and makeup.

Since scarves are now 25% off in our shop (and are such a staple this time of year), I thought I'd share the above video with you. I can't wait to try "The Bow" and "The Triple Wrap."

I adore the HBO series Six Feet Under, especially the character Claire, played by Lauren Ambrose. When she drove off into the sunset in the series finale, I had tears running down my face.

Imagine how thrilled I was when the costume designer for the film Grassroots chose one of our bags for Ambrose' character to carry in the film.

You can catch a quick glimpse of the Amy bag in this video at the 57 second mark.

Video: Sweet Bones the Pug

A few weeks back I told you about Bones. When I visited him at his foster family's home, I also shot a little video of him at play. Above I've posted the video that I made with the pictures and footage.

It takes a village to save a Pug. Bones is lucky to have a whole team of volunteers - his foster family, the Seattle Pug Rescue vets, and those who run the organization.

We're Closed for Easter

Here's a little video that's guaranteed to make you smile. This egg hunt was held at a community center near our shop yesterday.

Video: Our Locket Collection

We sell so many lovely lockets on our website and in our store, I thought I'd make a video overview so that you can get a better idea of their sizes and features.

I got a new video camera for Christmas that is much better at capturing small details, but I'm still getting used to it so forgive the fumbling.
