February 2025

 February Notes

(Inside The HDS Handbag)

It's already the middle of February.  I have been busy in the and out of the studio.We did a fair, The Fine Art & Craft Sale in Olbrich in Madison, Wisconsin.  We saw hundreds of you and sold lots of heart pouches. Thank you. Always nice to have an early in the year Art Fair.

February 12 at 6 pm I did the first of many Facebook LIVES.  I enjoy doing these and several of you tuned in.  The Next LIVE will be Sunday, March 16 at 2 pm.

In the last week, we finally got about eight inches of snow.  We are "grateful" to get a beautiful blanket of white.  Frank and I bundle up and shovel the walks and driveway. It's about about a two hour job. 

WHAT'S UP in the Studio?  Filling orders.   As promised, they will all be filled by February 28.  I have been ordering new fabrics, hardware, and linings.  Can't wait to experiment with my new "Design Challenge" handbag patterns with new fabric.

I also am thrilled to be accepted into the Stevens Point Festival of the Arts in Plover, Wisconsin on April 6 and the Marion Art Fair in Downtown Marion on May 17.   I will be entering more Wisconsin fairs/shows and they are listed on our website.  Note... the Website will be revamped in the four weeks.  

That's its for now.  Stay Warm!
