I h ad this gorgeous peacock stole by Ellita   saved in my favorities on Etsy . I wanted to purchase it a while back but decided to wait. Well, while I was busy thinking it over it someone purchased it today!  The colors of this stunning stole would have looked perfect with my new gray wool peacoat. Check out Ellita for beautiful artistically created knitwear and more. 

                                   Montauk, Long Island                       The Market Tote by Pesky Cat Designs T he Market Tote is great for a trip to the market or a weekend getaway.  I had a lot of requests for a larger bag so I decided to add one to my collection. The one posted above is perfect for all seasons and is made from 100%  linen in black with an ultrasuede seagull applique. 

I recently came across this amazing pet bed by Like Kittyville . It comes in different cool retro fabrics and wood stains.   The designer of Like Kittysville is an award-winning design graduate of the Fashion Institute of Designs and Merchandising in Los Angeles.  Check out her shop to see more of her beautiful Retro Modern Pet Beds .  I know my pesky cat Anni would love one!

               Elisa Nadzieja, Untitled, Watercolor and Ink on Paper I also create works on paper when I am not busy designing and sewing. Recently my work got mentioned on a lovely blog called   Of Paper and Things .   You can see the post  here . Thanks Monica! Check out her blog for lots of amazing art and design. At the moment my designing pursuits have taken over and I'm painting less. But I'm sure it will not be long before I'm back in paint and water.

R ight outside my apartment building in Manhattan you can find some over-the-top landscaping as seen in the photo posted above taken by my partner today.  He also snapped up a few shots of a new batch of my  Downtown Bags. The one posted below is made from hemp and recycled soda bottles! It sounds crazy I know. Basically the fabric has the look and feel of a brushed cotton canvas. Eco-friendly and so nice in a denim blue color with contrast stitching. It will be available in my shop this week.

I 've been busy sewing up a batch of new Downtown Bags this week. It is definitely one of my favorite designs.  Its slim line makes it comfortable under your arm yet you can fit quite a lot inside. I use one on a day-to-day basis and carry a cosmetic case, wallet, sunglasses, keys and a book. Occasionally I'll stuff a light sweater or scarf inside! The one posted above is made out of dark red cotton twill that's peppered with black. It looks a bit like denim. This one will definitely perk up your black or gray winter coat! It will be available in my shop in the next few days. There will also be one available in a denim blue fabric made out of hemp and recycled soda bottles!

Y esterday, September 16th, Pesky Cat Designs had its 100th sale on Etsy!  It was also my birthday so I had lots to celebrate.  Posted above is the hipster and wristlet combo that sold.  I have to thank Etsy for giving so many artists and designers the opportunity to sell their creations all over the world.
