Suitcases

I was talking to someone recently about friends, and the limitations we want to put on friendships. That old saying "friends and business don't mix" is a bunch of malarkey, if you ask me. How many of us have incredibly talented friends who can help make our dreams and visions reality? Remember my pretty owl bag from Joy? My friend Elsie is helping me out with a t-shirt design (yes, I will have t-shirts soon!), which I'm incredibly excited about, and my friend Eric has been assisting me with my suitcase shelves. It has been a long process (mostly because I could not decide on fabrics...), but they are finally done!!! I love them. Like, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. They are going to be perfect for Renegade!


Pretty, pretty, pretty! I actually think the tree case is upside down in the picture, but you get the idea. I thought this was fun- Johnny was shooting me while I was shooting these...


Of course, there is Lucy... she is always in the way...


Ah, so thankful for my new, toasty warm coat. It's chilllllly today... and I love it! I hope you have a great Sunday. I'm jumping off to go sew up more little things for Renegade. I leave on Thursday!!! xoxo Katie

    they are amazing Katie - I couldnt envision how you were planning for them to house shelves other than fastened to a wall but - theyre so adorable! what a wonderful idea for kids as well, imagine a suitcase could become a whole neighborhood!

    I stumbled across your blog through Elsies and at first I thought I'd investigate as we have the same name ... then I saw you have a cat named Lucy! =O You're the American version of me haha! I also have another cat named Mary ... maybe your Lucy needs a pal 2?! =P

    Suitcases = adorable.

    Good luck next weekend at the fair... I'm trying to finagle a way to make it out to it this time. :P

    And t-shirts, how exciting... do you plan to accommodate plus size persons as well? (I hope so!) :)

    Thanks for the suitcase love! I love them, too!

    I hope to see some of your sweet faces on Saturday or Sunday. Please be sure to introduce yourself if you do come out!

    And, yes, hopefully I can get the t-shirts rolling as soon as I get back. If I were to accommodate plus sizes, what are the most common sizes to stock? If any of your are interesting, send me an email and we'll talk. :)

    I adore these (and your blue jacket)! I have always cursed my tiny products and how difficult they are to display. I'm jealous of your lovely little creatures and all their glorious display possibilities. Genius idea!

    Awesome suitcases. Love the snaps of you snapping and cats always complete a picture for me. Cats are just right.
