Hello Baggies! 

I am naming all of you/my followers Baggies since we love bags and can justify a new one even when we have more than enough! They are wonderful pops of fun that carry odds and ends and make us smile.  Boom. No reason to quit now friends! 

This summer has been a BLAST!  I am enjoying a few weeks off from art shows and festivals as it has been so hot.  I have had the best time with my booths from Boston to Marshfield to Cohasset to Bath, Maine and have been so lucky to see old friends and meet new.  Everyone is so wonderful but I have to say the most recent trip to my mother's hometown Bath was really the most invigorating for me.  When I went to the Art in the Park as a kid and my mom had a booth for her water color paintings, i was proud of her but didn't think much of all the work that had gone into it.  Having my own booth at the event was extremly fulfilling as I not only got to show my goods and talents but see old friends who were so supportive and reminded me why Bath is so special to me.  I was happy to see my friend Jill's parents at my booth and they were a huge support.  I was also treated to a few special ladies who knew my Grandmother Alma quite well and had stories to tell.  My cup was running over and I could feel my mom's presence all around me the entire weekend.  

In addition to the summer festivals, I am now being sold a two shops on the south shore!  Many thanks to Noted in Hingham www.notedcandles.com  and Outside In in Cohasset www.outsideincohasset.com for featuring a choice selection of bags - stop in anytime and pick one up for yourself or a friend - or both! And if you know of any other shops that might want to feature my bags, drop me a line anytime!  

Hope you are all enjoying the summer and having lots of adventures! Stay in touch and keep supporting hand made!  

Lots of love,

-Heather
