Book Review: How to be an Antiracist

I really liked this book!  It is so relevant to what is going on right now.

I am so upset by the events last week with Central Park Karen and the senseless murder of George Floyd that is hard to write about it.  I would recommend everyone read Kendi’s book.  This guy in the video below pretty much sums up my feelings about the state of the world today.

So, it looks like I won’t be doing any craft fairs or trade shows this year.  I had prepared A LOT of bags for the summer and early fall selling season that will now sit in storage until they are sold.

Luckily for you, I opened an Etsy store recently to help sell my bags!  I will continue to add new items, including handbags, tote bags, reusable shopping bags, cosmetic bags, coin purses, pouches, and even crochet roses, over the next few weeks.  Most of the bags there are made from recycled materials, meaning I might only have one or two bags made out of a specific material featured in my Etsy shop.  If you see something you like, get it soon because it might be a one of a kind!  Best of all, free shipping for all purchases $35 and over for U.S. shoppers.

I am also still doing custom bags, but there are some delays from the wholesalers I work with to get fabrics.  It might take a little longer to complete some projects.  I will not be taking any leather bag orders until further notice because it is hard to get that material right now from my dealers.

We are all doing our best under these challenging circumstances, but we will get through it!
