Monday Sales and Gifts

Today my Wayfarer Purse with a Flower Applique, shown above, sold from my Etsy shop. The purse is made from a faux leather I purchased at a lovely home decor fabric shop in South Carolina during my recent road trip/vacation. There was a big lounge chair on display that was upholstered with this fabric and it looked fantastic. I was so impressed I had to buy a few yards. They rolled the fabric on this really long tube and it almost didn't fit in the car. I'll tell you, this fabric did quite a lot of traveling before it reached its destination in NYC!

Also, today I decided to send a gift to a very special person. So my latest creation, The Classic Shoulder Bag with a Horse Applique, will be traveling to its destination tomorrow. I hope she loves it! I'll have more horse inspired creations in the Pesky Cat Designs shop very soon.

The Pesky Cat's Day Dream

Katzenhohle by Dornroeschen Filzunikate I recently came across this incredible cat bed made by German artist Dornroeschen Filzunikate. This beautiful piece of functional art called a Katzenhohle , cat cave, is handmade of felted wool. It's definitely the most unique cat bed I have ever seen. It would bring a bit of nature into my urban NYC home. I think my Anni would love a cat cave although her favorite spots right now are the pillow behind my head in bed, a straw basket that was meant to store magazines and a storage box made from fabric that becomes a hammock when she sleeps in it. My sweet Anni FOX 5 Update : A while back I wrote a post about a story that Fox 5 news was doing on Etsy and the handmade market. I was interviewed in my studio as part of the feature. An Etsy press agent recently informed me that the story aired April 15th and he also missed it. He said he is trying to get a copy of it from the studio. I'll be sure to post a link to it when it becomes availab...

New Harris Tweed Purses

Harris Tweed Color Block Purse This week in the studio I did some experimenting combining various Harris Tweed weaves to create a purse. This purse is also a new design measuring at approximately 14" wide, 8.5" high and 2.5" deep. Roomy enough to fit your daily essentials with a stream-lined design to fit comfortably under your arm. Harris Tweed Color Block Purse The purse above is made from Harris Tweed wool in two plain weaves and a barleycorn weave. I love the contrasting colors and textures. Back view of purses above. Harris Tweed Two Tone Bag And last but not least, a basket/tote design, using a lovely blue Harris Tweed plain weave and a Macleod check. All these new bags are now available at the Pesky Cat Designs shop. Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead!
