bags
As you may know... I have a thing for Blocs, wood and leather.... when I saw these amazing bags from Building Block I could barely keep my compsure looking at everything this power sister team design & makes. They would be the one reason that I'll end ever up become a crazy purse lady!
I want them all.....
I think I died and came back to life when I saw these ridiculously amazing leather bags by Nutsa Modebadze!
She makes each bag with the MOST beautiful leather.
Nutsa designs all her bags with a such great sensitivity to all the leather she uses by truly celebrating it's texture, color & shape.
I literally spent HOURS clicking through EVERY single page looking at EVERY single thing...
And all these photos here are just a small tiny percentage of all the things she's ever made....
You can see all her latest work and her process on her blog...she's currently working on some wonderful woven leather stuff...I simply can't wait....
If only I could even just touch one of these bags...I would die a happy person.
For our second national show, JOIN has combined forces once again along with 6 other Northwest design studios to launch a series of new products and accessories at the New York International Gift Fair January 30th - February 3rd, 2011.

We're stoked to see some exciting new things from our friends!
R&L goods' new linen button scarves. (That's Dylan & I...ha ha)
Iacoli & McAllister's brass & suede adjustable necklaces,
Meet Me Here's recycled banner bag with a nice finishing touch of the leather handles.
plainMADE's perfect spring silk scarves
Grain's new hand mirror handbound with natural twine.
BLK Pine's new canvas bag line.
I've always secretly fantasized about making my own leather sandals or shoes...the closest shoe-making I've done so far are some simple fabric slippers and this felt baby slipper. But seeing these handmade leather shoes and bags by Alya B. Kazakevich of ABK makes me want to just make some awesome leather shoes...but most likely it will not ever look as good as these! 
I'd like to covet one of these beautifully made shoes or bags especially for how incredibly made they are! 
I'm absolutely in love with these Forestbound bags...what a wonderful mix of beautiful leather, linen, and canvas, which are all from salvaged materials!
This weekend I'll be at the first Summer Urban Craft Uprising (UCU) indie craft show!
Here's a little sneak peak!
Another new exciting items we're gonna have are these notebooks we're debuting at UCU! These are made with LOVELY hand printed fabric by Isabelle of Piano Nobile. We recently befriended Isabelle and Nicholas and they're wonderful enough to print these fabric in time for us to sell at the show! I'm drooling over them myself....don't worry, I'll wipe off my drool. 
AND our dear and super talented friend, Ingrid will be selling her awesome bags at our booth as well! I'm totally excited to see what she'll be bringing!
