new shoulder bags

i was able to photograph the new shoulder bags i have been working on, finished the last shot just before the rain began. lucky timing! so long as my internet cooperates, the new bags will be available in the big cartel shop this evening, around 8pm EST. for more sneak peek photos, you can check my flickr stream.

just added two new vintage floral applique shoulder bags to the big cartel shop.

new! vintage floral shoulder bags

for some reason today feels like a great day, even though so many things seem to want to go so, so wrong for me so far. it started first thing this morning, after i walked frances and grabbed a coffee, i couldn't find my keys, and realized i must have locked them in my apartment. luckily, my landlord is a friend and also lives very close by, so frances and i walked over to pick up the her spare set, only to realize that i had not left them in my raincoat last night, but they were, in fact, in the front pocket of the skirt i was wearing all along! jeez.

then i went out on the roofdeck to snap some photos of some new bags i finished yesterday. things seemed to be going pretty well, until i accidentally formatted (as in erased)the memory card after shooting all of the photos. that was a serious waste of time, but i chalked it up to the universe telling me i needed a little extra time in the sunshine and fresh air today.

so the new bags (they are all one of a kind) will be available in the big cartel shop this afternoon, sometime in the next few hours.

RIP roofdeck elf

so sorry i accidentally dropped you on your face. you will be missed.

just added the floral wristlets to the big cartel shop!

new! vintage floral wristlets

i will be adding these seven vintage floral wristlets to the big cartel shop thursday morning. though they seem similar, each is one of a kind. the part of the patter captured on the front varies from purse to purse, and i used a variety of different vintage fabrics for the back of each. hope everyone [in the U.S.] enjoyed their holiday weekend! xo, hank.
