The Bag Fairy Pays a Visit

One of the most popular items in our shop has been the unique bags that Vickie makes. It started when she made one for herself and then friends wanted one and then...
These bags take time to make and time is in short supply for Vickie right now what with her designing, knitware, getting used to her rolling mill, painting sock blanks and looking after her recalcitrant husband. The other problem is that the components she uses- premium designer material, special mesh etc. are in very short supply. But this week she took the time to make a few more for the shop and here they are:

The price is still the same- $45 and, as you can see, they are works of art. So if you are looking for that special gift for that special person (ie. YOU!), stop by the shop and pick one up before they are all gone because it may be a very long time before I can get the "Bag Lady" to haul out her sewing machine!
If you are not from this area and would like one of these bags, we can ship it to you and you can pay via paypal. Just send me an email or comment on this post. I will try to post some pics of other items we have that you might want to purchase on line.
Today, we start in earnest to make jewelry from our beautiful stone. I will be working as Vickie's no-pay apprentice so if the blog suddenly goes dead it will be because I have suddenly gone dead.
Cheers and it's been nice knowing ya!

The Bag Lady is Back!

So all the threats and wine bribes have finally paid off.

We have had a tremendous run on Vickie's bags and with our inventory down to two the walls were looking pretty bare. So I finally convinced her to get out her fabric, thread and machines and get to work!



You will note that she appears to be sewing in stereo!



Anyway, as you can see, the inventory is up to 5 and she promises me that if the wine keeps coming the wall will be full by the end of tomorrow. So if you haven't seen these bags, you owe it to yourself to swing on by. They are absolutely gorgeous and a steal at the price!

Even though it was cold and rainy today, we had visits from tourists hailing from Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Some beautiful Seawall Fibres Obsidian worsted is heading across the border!

Please Note:

We will be attending a convention in Halifax so for this week only, the store will be open all day Monday and Tuesday but will be closed from Wednesday and will reopen the following Wednesday morning.

Look forward to seeing you then!
