THANK YOU

Just wanted to say thank you to all the nice words about my Design Sponge interview and also thank you to everyone who bought a bag over the past few days! Everything has been packaged up and is now on the way to a new home.

There will be a new batch of bags and pouches going in my Etsy shop this coming Thursday (August 5) at 3pm Eastern time. I'll post a few previews earlier that morning.

AN INTERVIEW & A SHOP UPDATE

The always wonderful Ginny Branch conducted an interview with me over on Design Sponge all about the tools that I use for my work (and some various other things as well). You can read it HERE if you'd like. Thank you again, Ginny!

TUESDAY JULY 27


I''ve been spending lots of time outside and away from this here computer .. Vermont, New Hampshire, Cape Cod, Maryland ..

I know there haven't been many bags going up in the shop over the past few weeks.. but that's going to change soon! I've even started working on my early fall special collection.. which should hopefully be ready within the next month or two.

But most importantly - I have to wish my best friend and greatest love, Francesca, a happy birthday on this day today.

A VERMONT WEDDING





Two of my oldest and dearest friends got married this weekend in Vermont. Now I'm wishing every weekend could be spent around a bonfire in the country with good friends.

I've written about the Small Stump/Studio Choo retail space before.. but I couldn't resist posting these photos. Everything is looking real good over there these days.

WEDNESDAY JULY 14


Two new simple feed sack totes available in my shop this afternoon.

FABRIC SOURCING





Brought home bags full of beautiful fabric from a little trip earlier in the week. Real excited to have found some blue & white striped material similar to the French canvas that everyone loved so much. Also found enough ticking to keep me busy for a long time, some nice old canvas cement bags, 2 amazing beige woven cotton laundry bags, and lots more. Oh and a few lacey tops for myself.

SALE



Just put these three bags on sale in my Etsy shop.

UNCOVERED

While cleaning out a trunk I also stumbled upon 3 of my older canvas/lace/braided leather totes. I'll sell them for cheap if anyone is interested. If you're into it or if you want to see more photos email me -- Alice (at) Forestbound.com

-- EDIT: All totes have now been spoken for --

FORESTBOUND RUMMAGE SALE.

Over the next month or so I'm going to be periodically updating my blog with some old treasures that I have decided to part with. I've accumulated far too many things after living in the same house for years and years.. so now that it's time to move into a new place.. it's also time to clean out the closets and the crawl spaces and the old trunks I have stashed away everywhere.

Here's how it'll work - I'll post photos, a price, and a brief description of the item. If you're interested in purchasing the item or if you would like more details simply send me an email -- Alice (at) Forestbound.com. All shipping will be $5 unless otherwise noted.
