Above is fashion spread by 831 Magazine of my bags and pattern Annie. I think it is so gorgeous! The colors are vibrant and rich. I love the different textures from the croc leather to the softness of BeautifulJean's feather pieces. Just gorgeous.

I've always wanted to have my designs in the fashion spread of magazine, not just a product review, but an actual styled, primped and glossy spread...just like this. It's been one of things on my goal list, kind of like being a guest on Oprah (hey, I'm ticking the goals off, you never know). Last fall I attended a fashion show where I met Alli of 831 Magazine. We chatted and I showed her Bronze Bella which I was carrying that evening. In her wonderful Australian accent she offered to do a fashion spread of my bags. Thrilled, I sent her some bags and a couple weeks later she called wanting to include one of my knitwear designs. Even more thrilled, I shipped Annie off to her. Alli had described the plan for the photo to me, but I was still anxious to see it. The photo came out even better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you Alli!
