2006-06-24 * Feria Urbana


Above is my table at Feria Urbana, arranged by the lovely and talented Toast'n'Candy, who also drove there with me, ate lunch with me, and hung out with me for the better part of the day! Omg it was so good and important to have a friend there with me, I had no idea.

You can see a few of the seat-of-the-pants designs that I came up with on Friday in the photo as well- the baby sister of the Seahorse Tote, the seahorse handbag

and little zippy pouches I made when I decided there wasn't enough small stuff in a lower price range

And the huge tote over on the right made of vintage curtain material I got at the Alameda Flea Market, which I didn't photograph before I got there and which sold right away, so... you can just see it from afar. But I've got more of that stuff, so I'll be making another.

It was an interesting learning experience--I sold a few bags that were actually to people I didn't know (and thanks to Bill and Rosie for being people I DO know who bought bags from me). I was slightly surprised by what didn't sell-- the pleated clutches and the small bias-tape bags in particular. I am not certain if there will be a next time, but I definitely have a few ideas for making it better if there is!
