Well, now that I'm back, I wanted to share some of my favorite looks on the runway from the Fall 2010 collections.

NEW LOGO

My new logo for 2011! 

As the new year approaches, I would like to expand my online business.

No more Shecky's, and lots more Etsy.

I have met so many great people on Etsy, including Ashley, owner of Cardboard Monet.  She contacted me with a very interesting business offer.  One of my Bajan Bags in exchange for creating my very own logo for my business.  She was so great to work with.  I loved her creative ideas and she kept changing it until I was completely happy.

Thank you Ashley!

I'm looking forward to an exciting year, new designs, new events......stay tuned.

LAST BUT NOW LEAST.........THE FLYER

Last, but now least.............The Flyer

So sorry it took me so long to post the last winter piece.  I have been very busy with a large order and I was not able to blog.  Anyway, I made this hat last year from a great pattern I found from Andrea Forstbauer.  I loved it so much, I had to add it to the collection.

The Flyer is a modern aviator style hat.  So fun, stylish and warm for the winter.  It can be custom made in lots of great colors.

Continuing with the Philadelphia theme, this hat is named after their great hockey team, The Flyers.

That concludes the new winter collection for now.  I will keep you updated on any new pieces I add.  Hope you enjoyed them all!  Thanks!
