Happy New Year everyone! I’ve been pretty slow in posting but the music side of my life really picked up and took over for a bit! I was hoping to post a bit more music related things in the coming year since it’s such a prominent part of my life 💜 This week I’ll be in Washington DC for the Navy Band Saxophone Symposium - playing some really interesting music with some fabulous musicians so look for some posts about that.

Starting my year off strong with a custom made crossbody bag. Can never have enough cats! Also messing around with some new product photography set ups (even though I prefer natural light it’s cold outside!).

The original crossbody pattern is the from and I love playing around with the endless opportunities her pattern provides.

I couldn’t help using these gorgeous cranberry colored leaves for pictures today! Our Japanese maple hasn’t been this vibrant in years. Pictures are taken, just some slight editing needed and listings will be up. Keep an eye on the website!

Ready to go at the Strong Family Farm in Vernon! It’s gorgeous out today and there are lots of activities for kids here today. Live music and food as well!

This is a new wallet style I’m offering. Compact and not as wide as my standard slim wallets. Has 6 card slots, zipper pocket, 2 slip pockets and a magnetic snap closure.

Hope to see you here today!

The unfortunate weather forecast means tomorrow’s market is cancelled. Next Sunday 10/19 is the Harvest Festival at the Strong Family Farm in Vernon - come see me then!

We have made the difficult decision to cancel the market on Sunday 10/12 due to the forecasted high winds and rain. 🌧️

Thank you all for such a wonderful season and an amazing market day today!

We will see you on Small Business Saturday!

When you’re out taking a short hike you have to bring your new bags for a quick photo op! Two new mountain color schemes finished. These will all be available September 13 at The Market at 1115 Main in Manchester then in the Etsy shop afterwards.

When inspiration strikes I can only hope I have some time to explore it! Luckily my early fall is usually a little slow so I got to have fun with this idea today. We just went up to Vermont and drove around the Green Mountains and the colors were just gorgeous hence the color scheme.

Planning some other color schemes next! I’m glad Frank was around to keep me company.

For this size crossbody I love love love using ‘s pattern. Such a perfect size!
