199!

I recently made my 199th sale on Etsy! As a celebration, the 200th customer will also receive this striped coin purse.

Stripey Leggings Extravaganza

This last week has been Golden Week in Japan, where the whole country takes an enforced break from work and heads back to family or travels out of the city. We decided to go hiking in a beautiful mountainous area called Kamikochi - a well needed break in the cool fresh mountain air. I became obsessed with the hiking attire that a lot of people chose to wear, especially these stripey legging that were very popular, for both men and women. On top of that, there was an array of amazingly coloured jackets, trousers, rucksacks etc, all put together with amazing style and individuality.

Feeling Blue

I was obviously feeling in a blue mood the other day, and not due to the weather! I just loved these blue fabrics I picked up and loved the way they complement each other, so decided to make them into some Lila coin purses. I think my favourite one is the nautical theme with the cute little anchor and boat scattered on the fresh blue and white stripe. The lining is a vibrant red polka dot. You can check it out at my Etsy store.

Little cuties

I have just added these little cuties to my Etsy store. I'm loving the funky prints, but am especially pleased with the vintage-style bobble details on the clasps. Most of the bobbles I use are made of plastic, but the stripey purse has wooden bobbles. Both purses have a sunny lime green dotty lining to compliment the outer print.
