It’s been exactly 3 weeks and 3 days since the Fall 2021 Round Top show ended. I just finished making, and delivering, the last of the bags that were ordered during the 2 weeks I spent in a tent, in a field, on Highway 237. And you know what? I was really proud of my booth this time. I built new displays, brought my plants, and painted my shelving. Everything looked so much more cohesive and well done than ever before.
Fresh build, fresh paint 
Plants on the way! 
Tah-dah!
In addition to being super pleased with myself for building and decorating this time, for months prior to the show, I worked on elevating the brand as a whole. Instead of the previous gold thread embroidered logo tags, I ordered a custom branding iron, and made new leather logo tags. I created a few “show exclusive” crossbody straps, and designed a new leather mini tote. Each one crafted entirely by hand.
Per usual, I had a great time seeing old friends and meeting new ones! And although I spent most of the time in my own booth, I was able to sneak away for a few moments each day. Here are some of the things I thought were pretty awesome:
These beaded chairs… OMG 
Hat from Jonathan @theguayaberashirtstore 
Skirt from Jose Sanchez. Me encanta! 
Necklaces from Amelia Perry & Penny Lane Studio 
Buzzzzz from Rebecca Bourke 
Specifically the bottom blue one… 
Would you believe me if I told you this wasn’t a photograph?! 
Finally brought this table home!
I am still most excited about the outdoor table. It was something I had seen last year, didn’t buy, and couldn’t stop thinking about. I wanted to buy all of these things. There are so many talented artists and interesting vendors for miles and miles. I really wish I could spend an entire show exploring and shopping, and I might one of these days. But this time, I was happy sitting in my booth, making bags and visiting with those of you that came to shop with me.
If you’re curious to know which bags were my best sellers this time, here are the top four… (Camo again?! Whaaaa?! Yes! Camo for the win. Every. Single. Time!)
Thank you for making my job so much fun!! See you next time!
