Hi Friends! 

The leaves are falling all around and it has become chilly so we must accept summer is over.  It was a doozey!  I did so many art shows and met so many wonderful people but it was HOT!  I am okay the colder weather is here and we are getting cozy inside.  

I am making bags like crazy to prepare for the holiday season.  It is such a magical time and my absolute favorite thing is giving and recieving handmade gifts.  My bags are definitely handmade and the fabric just keeps coming from the upholstery design shops so more bags to come! Order early as each bag is a one of a kind and may not be available next time you look here.  

Recently I was in Bar Harbor, Maine with my son, daughter and dog Chili (pictured) on an gorgeous day.  It is such a stunning area and if you are looking for adventure Maine is your place! I am always happy to recommend favorite places to visit and explore so send me a note anytime.  Traveling is such a great reminder of all the different flavors in the world and people who live different lives. It is like reading a great book just people watching on a park bench, no paper invovled.  Dachshunds always attract attention so bringing one with us helps meet people too - always!  Travel is also a great reminder how nice home is.  And it sure is.  <3 

Thanks for stopping by heatherfrankstudio.com and supporting me on this fun journey.  I will continue to make bags as long as people need and want them.  They are too fun!  We need LOTS more fun in the world these days so pick one up for yoruself or a friend and tell them I said hello. :-) 

Lots of love,

-Heather.... and Chili
