Countdown to the messenger bags

Edited to add: Now on the shop - see post above for a spiffy money-off coupon until 1st March: http://baba-store.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=MRPASS&Category_Code=Messengers _________________ Well, okay, I am over-dramatising, but they are nearly all printed now so we should have the first 20-30 next week, a few in each print I hope. They will all be available in black cotton canvas or a dark taupe (I chose the darkest we could find that is a taupe, NOT a brown or khaki - so that it gives a feeling of lightness but won't get dirty too easily). I've been asked to put the whole current selection up here, so - apart from the Gothic bags which are just below - here goes. I've put the ones previously posted under a cut, so you don't have to look at them twice if you've already seen them. By the way, the fairy and Alice ones are based on our own antique books, not on copyright-free CDs. We did try those but the quality was awful in a picture this large, so yes, we buy original (around 1900-1910) books, scan them and clean up the pictures - it gives far, far more detail and sharpness. The popular "Cakes" - we hope to do this in a second version soon. - also available in black but I won't post it. A couple based on prints of our vintage/antique fabrics - we love how these are turning out and aim to do more as we have a great collection now:
