Happy Monday to All! 

It's Thanksgiving week here in the U.S.  I am thankful for the many blessings in life and that includes freedom of speech: the opportunity to write and say your opinions on a blog!  Thanks to all of you for coming here week after week and listening to me blab!

A few weeks back I did a collaboration photo shoot with Cecy & Blake, a new handbag designer here in the Seattle area. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting them.  This gorgeous hand painted collection just launched on kickstarter for a 33 day campaign, and it's exciting to help spread the word!

The designers's artistic talent is evident on every handbag.  I love it that each bag is original. Who doesn't love to show off your latest style that no one else has!?!  These bags pair great with your casual wear or a dressy outfit.  They make the perfect holiday gift!

The main qualities of these beautiful bags are:

  1. Made from full grain leather(the most expensive, sturdiest part of the leather; only hides with minimal number of blemishes make it into this category.
  2. Functionally designed by a Yale-graduated engineer.: Tote has 6  inside pockets, the clutch has credit card spots.
  3. Each bag and wallet is individually hand -painted by skilled artists
  4. Cecy & Blake bags use a best-in-class leather paint specifically formulated for painting leather sneakers. It is water resistant, scratch resistant, and fade resistant.

 Cecy& Blake have expressed their passion to create high quality, innovative products at a fair price.  Words from the designers: " We put our heart and soul into our project and hope people love what we have created, as much as we do."

I hope you enjoyed learning of this new designer! You can also find them on Instagram.What are your shopping plans this Black Friday? Stay safe, don't get trampled in all the madness.  I wish you a beautiful Thanksgiving with your family and friends!  See you again soon,

                                                  xo Valerie
