Haute Handbags, Off to Artfest Next Week and a Happy Birthday to Top it All Off
What a pleasure to be included amongst such talent in the latest issue of Haute Handbags. Amongst creations from Sandra Evertson, Lelainia Loyd (who is also a birthday girl this week Happy Birthday), Deb Trotter, and so many others I can not list them all here. Wonderful creations lie upon the pages of this treasure, inspiration surmounts and the desire to create a custom bag will fill you I promise.
The next order of business...next week I leave for Artfest it is hard to believe we are on the cusp of April already (where have the last 4 months go I wonder). So I am packing up my bags and hitting the air, then the road oh, and a ferry too. I expect to have lots of photos and fun stories to share with you all.
And last but certainly not least it is Ruth Rae's birthday let's all wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, stop by her blog when you can. (Thank you Karen for this perfect photo).
There is so much more to share with you but for now it will have to keep as time is running away from me.
Thanks for the b-day wishes and see you soon roomie! Travel safe! xox

I really love your blog and your work. I saw your tags on ETSY and I just had to tell you how great they are. I'm 12 and I just started a site on ETSY for my handmade jewelry and a blog about my work. I'll add you to my favorites on ETSY. Cambria

Hi Kristen,, I ran across your blog after reading Somerset Life. Then reading your post I saw your purses that were featured in haute handbags. I was so excited, I bought that book and have been admiring your purses! I love your work. Have a great week ahead and happy creating....gail

Hi, Kristen,
Lovely handbags! My wife recently found a lovely handbag in town, and it gets lots of notice -- I'm sure yours get plenty of oohs and aahs! Have a great time at Artfest!
Blessings,

Kristen, I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen's PRIDE & PREJUDICE, so finding my work in a magazine that features your gorgeous bags was a real treat! Your work is remarkable. ~Monica
