mwah! mesh!

We have started painting our MESH BAGS!  You can stop by our tent at the Taste and Art Stoll in Del Mar to purchase one of these sweet bags. They are great for the beach, market, or just a day shopping. Super green and super chic!

tiny totes

We just got finished making these super cute tiny totes for a group of lovely young ladies. These were custom made with each girls initial, you can get one today too! They are perfect for every fairy princess or green goddess you know! (as always these bags are made of recycled material and have a super small carbon footprint!)

Sundowner

We had a great time at our first Sundowner event with the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce! Marshall Weinreb, the new President and CEO of the Encinitas Chamber gave a heart felt talk and we were thrilled with the response we got, after donating a bag for the monthly raffle! Get your very own today! Better yet sign up for one of our classes and leave with a custom bag that you’ve designed & painted yourself.

Moving and Shaking!

Our bags are really getting noticed! Even Maggie Houlihan, Mayor of Encinitas, has one! Nancy painted this awesome 92024 zip code bag and presented it to Maggie on Tuesday. The Mayor said it was the one that caught her eye! We were so thrilled! You too can get a custom 92024 bag, just call us today!

we love letters

We really love type and we really love circles, so this just came naturally! How awesome is this bag! We have many mesh bags that are still blank so if you are interested in having a letter added, let us know!

our latest bag addiction.

These hand painted shoulder bags display universal design elements.  The circle’s classical themes of infinity and perfection elevate the re-purposed materials.  Made from outdoor advertising banners, which I have up-cycled into utilitarian art. One of these bags can be seen at the Encinitas Library Environment Day Exhibit and they are for sale. Contact us if you are interested in purchasing one and let us know if you would like a custom design for a gift! We’d be happy to create a fabulous one for you!
