A couple of new shoulder bags

These are another custom order that came out really well. We're trying to cut back on custom orders but we are still happy to do them when we think that the print can go into our normal line. I think both these bags will be popular - when I get that "I want one of these" myself, it's usually a good sign. In fact, the Thumbelina shows very well at this size as you can see the details.

We tried doing one of these satin fronts in a dupion satin-backed silk. I like it, Alex is not sure. But it's interesting to try. I sort of like the little hint of texture in the dupion. I may post close-ups later so you can see what I mean.

At last - the Brave Tabby messenger bag

We've been asked for this before, but it was one very determined (good for her!) Etsy buyer that finally pushed us into getting it done.

Great bag, if I do say it myself! For brave tabbies everywhere.

and a few more new bags

Well, most of the prints will be familiar, although the Grumpy Persian is new. But these are our new all-silk bags that we are just gradually getting listed (it takes quite a time to thread and bead and pack them - and photograph). It's great to be getting so much in stock at last - we were a bit short of most things last year, so this year we have learnt.

Some of the new drawstring pouches

These can of course also be used as tarot bags - they are the perfect size for that. But we find many people now buy them to store cosmetics or other small items in their handbag, or to use as decorative storage bags in bathroom or bedroom.

Sale is open!

It's here. Have fun. I am SO glad to have launched this at last. All year Alex and I have been filtering out some things that are discontinued or seconds and saying to each other, "No problem, it'll go in the sale." and I did wonder if it would ever really happen.

Oh, by the way, the limited editions do start HIGH (well, they were part of my pension plan - though Alex says they would be long-gone by then anyway) but I will reduce them each day. Now if that doesn't add a bit of suspense I don't know what will.

SALE at Baba Store

It'll start today as soon as I can get all the listings up. I can't do everything but we will add to the listings as often as possible so do keep checking. I'll post the link when we're ready to begin.

New bags this time, not sale bags

I've just been a bit too busy* to fish out more of the "seconds" this week. But I will do as soon as I can. Thanks for all your enthusiasm about those.

Meanwhile here is a "beautiful Vassilisa" at last - I've been wanting to do this one for ages.




By the way I had a conversation with another Etsy seller the other day and she told me our work is WAY under-priced. I am beginning to think this may be true. Although in a recession...? Anyway, we'll keep this introductory price to the end of the month for sure.

If you have any comments about the price I'd love to hear them - I really do wonder if the price implies that the quality is far lower than it actually is (which is what my friend said). And this is NOT fishing for compliments, I'd honestly like some input.




*standard excuse I know but we seem finally to have signed the contract on the GIANT - it's poster-sized - Bohemian Cats Calender so it's a bit mad as now they need it quickly.
