Valentine's Day Bags on Etsy!

The time has come for the next holiday! Valentine's Day is just around the corner! I've been adding bags to my etsy shop pretty frequently and the Valentine's theme has not been forgotten!

This floral print is one of my absolute favorites because it reminds me so much of Cath Kidston. It was gifted to me by a customer at my parent's farm a few years ago and I just never knew what to make with it until I saw it paired with the polka dot print!

These small pouches are such a fun size. I originally made them to hold check books, but while check books aren't so much in use, there are so many other items to hold! Now I use my pouch for pencils and pens. I also take one with me when I travel to hold my electronics cords.

I originally made the smaller pouch to hold gift cards, because I hate getting a gift card with no thought. When it comes in that little paper holder, it's so boring and impersonal. Putting a gift card in this little pouch is like giving two gifts because the pouch can be used long after the card is gone! When I carry around a smaller bag or clutch, I put my money and ID in the little holder.

I also recently discovered they hold a small collection of lip balm and will hold lipstick!

I absolutely love making these small bags because I get to have so much fun with fabric. In general I gravitate towards loud prints, and when I was first making all I saw in the market place on etsy were solid, boring brown and black bags. Yes, they are beautiful and well constructed but boring is not my style and I don't think I'm the only one with that mentality!

I love color. I love how seeing certain colors can brighten your day and lighten your mood. I like to use the phrase, "Life is too short to carry a boring bag".
