New-Frani Wristlet

I am so excited about this new wristlet. The 2 center pleats add a fun element. Set aside your old wristlet and take the new Frani wristlet on the town.



Check out the new labels. Daisy Bags has moved to a whole new level.

The cutest little flower ever!

I found a great SAHM from the Chicago area who makes the cutest little flower pins. I sent her a bunch of fabric and she made me dozens of pins. I love them! I can't wait to add them to my bags. I just put an order in for a couple more dozen.




Stop by and see us this weekend in Geneva, IL at Festival of the Vine. South Third and Campbell streets. 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 5 pm on Sunday.

Festival of the Vine
September 12 - 14, 2008

Taste the autumn bounty in downtown Geneva while enjoying a flower market, arts & crafts show, grape stomping, live music, the Kid’s Patch, Gorgeous Gourds-A Fall Harvest of Natural Art and more. Sample international flavors provided by Geneva restaurateurs, and sip the best of the vine at our wine tastings under a huge outdoor tent.

First day of School

I let Lucy design her own school bag this year. She may very well start her own line of Daisy Bags. Perhaps called Lucy's Daisy. May have that ready for October. Cute Messenger bag with a 22 inch strap-no inside pockets-9x12x2-perfect to hold all those wonderful art projects.

Bees, Bees and more Bees

We took a trip to Indiana this weekend. We were welcomed by a huge bee hive hanging over the shed. Bees were flying everywhere. Too bad they weren't the kind to make yummy honey. In case you haven't had your fill of bees yet. Here is a new messenger bag:





Always have to include the crazy antics of my Lucy. She decided the back of a price tag makes a great art canvas.

Apples are not just for Teachers!

I just spent 3 gorgeous days at the Gold Coast Art Fair. The weather was perfect and the streets were packed. A great way to finish my summer shows. Now I get to relax for a week before diving into all my custom orders. A couple comments from this weekend about the new apple fabric bags included "That would be a great teacher bag," and "What a cute teacher gift." All I have to say is apples are not just for teachers. A couple of my teacher friends said, "I better not get an apple bag as a gift." I love apple picking, but I don't know if apple picking works for Daisy Bags. I may just have to keep that fabric for the inside of the bags.

Lucy just got back from a week at Grandma and Grandpa's. I wonder how long it will take her to stop calling me "Grammie." First day back and she is already using fabric as a clothesline for my ribbon scraps.

Daisy Bags has gone Green!

After a busy weekend with Art at the Glen, I came up with a new idea. An eco-friendly shopping bag. Use this when you go to art fairs or shopping at the mall. Save the environment by using your DB green bag instead of all the plastic and paper bags you get at each store, vendor or artist.



The bag measures 13"w x 14"h x 7"d and will easily fit 2 boxes of shoes or a box of shoes and 3-4 pairs of pants. Folds down to fit into the 9"x6" storage wristlet. Reversible. Priced at $30.



We celebrated Cole's First Birthday on Sunday. Here is a great photo of him after his cake smashing. Good thing Grandma was there to clean him up!

It is Apple Picking Time

I just got my new fall fabric-very, very exciting. This is the first shipment. Expecting 2 more in the next couple of weeks. Whipped up a couple bags. I love the Red Apple Frani. Hope to get it on the website in the next couple days.

Love, Love, Love this bag. Red Apple Wristlet with Pink Pedal Ribbon
