Felt...So Pretty. Yes, indeed.
This handmade handbag by Melissa Moze seemed like the perfect thing to feature in my newest post after being "away" for a little while.
Just looking at this bag makes me wish I was on a cruise somewhere. (*sigh) Yes, I need a vacation and this bag is just a reminder of how much I need to get away. The tropical leaf print fabric from the Uptown Handbag pattern by Amy Butler is so fun. The pink, green, and yellow colors definitely make this bag perfect for Spring and Summertime.
The handbag is also adorned with a huge hot pink vintage flower pin, which compliments this bag tremendously!
Go visit Melissa Moze today for some handbags and accessories with vintage flair!

Some Interesting Info: While most normal mom's to be might take up knitting booties I put my
screen printing skills to use printing custom onesies (my baby won't be
caught dead sporting blues clues or sesame street), and this week I
fired up the 'ol sewing machine to create a quilt out of all of my
yummy scrap fabric for my little chickie. My hopes are for my little girl to have as much appreciation for art and the DIY craftiness lifestyle as my husband and I do.
Odd fact about me? My husband & I both work together as graphic designers. We met in college and years later while I was working in publishing for a horticultural supply company we had an opening for another designer. I convinced my HR manager that Nate, my husband-to-be, was the perfect person for the job. After a little convincing that we could work together day in and day out without killing each other, they took the chance and hired him. 3 years later we still work together happily. The great thing of it all? We can car pool, have lunch together and there's always someone there to get our lame jokes to help make it through the day.
Another odd fact.... I don't eat veggies. So I'm opposite a vegetarian : )
