Cranberry Nantucket Pie and Some sewing

Yummy! I made this cranberry Nantucket pie last night. I found the recipe on Pioneer Woman's blog before Thanksgiving, but just got around to making it. Unfortunately, I might eat it all without help. A cup of afternoon coffee and a piece of pie sound great right now.

Today I worked on another messenger bag. I listed it in my etsy store too. I have been working hard to put new items in my stores. It would be great to have a few sales before Christmas.

I think I should work making something that would function more as a purse, but include the mixing of coats, floral and vintage fabrics. I think a "regular" purse might be more popular?

Take a look at this etsy treasury! One of my Texas Ware sets is for sale on etsy and it was included in this treasury.

TEXAS WARE, the original "garbage bowls" donned many kitchens....perhaps the largest selling melmac! , Plastics Manufacturing Company of Dallas, Texas was the "big boy" in melmac production, one source told me that "they sold more melmac in one Sears seasonal catalog than my company sold in one year..:".Many sellers even think that the word "texas ware" is another name for melmac! From schools to restaurants, this stuff was neverending!

When someone is looking for a particular bag I want them to know that they can look at

bringmealong.etsy.com and know that they will find the kind of bag they have been looking to buy.

I finally made just the bag I would like to stick with. It is more of a bag than a purse. I have used mine as a purse and I like it, but I am hoping to make a similar bag without the flap which would be more likely used as a purse.

The other consistent part of my bags is that I use upcycled coats and jackets in most bags. I love

the idea of being green and reusing discarded items, but I also love the way they look. I also use

vintage fabrics when I can. Mixing the fabrics together to make a one of a kind bag is where the creativity comes in.

I hope one day others will enjoy my creativity too!
