Pesky Cat Design


My daughter Morgan just saw these purses and said, "OH, those purses are CUTE!" Morgan, I agree! I think it's great to empower kids at a young age to discover their talents and be empowered by other women's examples! I'm inspired by this designer.
She says..."I'm a New York City-based artist and designer. I create handbags and accessories that are inspired by nature, color and texture. My creations are all original designs from patterns I draft myself and are sewn with care to be durable and beautiful. Seams are all double or triple stitched and all stress points are reinforced."

Caught Red Handed


Simply amazing!! These belt buckles are hand made and interchangeable. Brilliant! I love it and it doesn't stop with that.....you have to check out the rings! I'm going shopping!
She says, "I guess being caught and embarrassed should be my life story. I seem to have the word clutz attached to my name-- and I am always the one who is "caught". When I was thinking of a name for my shop--I could think of nothing more fitting. I have been making and selling jewelry for years and even minored in art in college. I love creating new, interesting, unique items that I hope you will enjoy. Thank you for stopping in!" You can check out more of her designs at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5085508
