First Show of the Season - Woohoo!!

Spring is here, tra-la, and the craft show season begins. I'm so excited to be joining the EtsyRAIN team for their spring craft show at the Seattle Center's Intiman Theatre! Come on down Saturday, May 8 from 11 am to 5 pm; what better way to spend a spring day? It's the day before Mother's Day, so don't forget a fabulous handmade gift for Mom! There will be booths indoors and out; I'll be outside with a view of the fountain...just hope the weather holds...but rain or shine, I'll be there, and I hope to see lots of you there, too! Check out the link for more details and to see who else will be exhibiting their fine wares:

New Assistants! New Fabrics! New-and-improved Boodlebags!

Well! Spring is in the air, and things are getting exciting here at Boodlebags - I just hired 3 new assistants today! Once we've all gotten settled, I'll introduce them.

I'm also getting ready to place my final orders for new fabrics, hardware, etc. Finally! It has take months of grueling research, countless samples, and much nail-biting, but I believe I have finally found vendors I can work with. Whew!

I'm so excited about the new fabrics - oh! such great prints! I do wish I could have my own fabrics printed, as I tire of seeing my prints on other peoples' bags. Sadly, it is prohibitively expensive right now, but I hope to be able to do so next year. Fingers crossed, y'all!

Anyway, once I order my fabrics, they'll be shipped out to another company to be laminated with urethane (a friendlier alternative to vinyl), then back to me. And then the work begins!! I'll be scrambling to get new bags ready to be photographed so I can post the new stuff on the new website and have my GRAND OPENING SALE!!
