Bah! LLJ stole the idea right out of my brain and made it happen! That's kinda cool. Will have to go back and look now...sheesh. BUT I still need to receive my first order!

Diva, I asked her if she was going to start making them because I knew there was some talk of it but I couldn't remember what the final verdict was.
She said that she is going to start making different things in the future but I think she is so busy with OUR orders right now that she hasn't got time just yet.

She did offer to make the make-up bags for us for $10 but she hasn't had the time to make a listing.

I've already changed the fabric on one of my bags.
I will have a kiwi floral mini-bag for sale when it comes in.

Wahooo, I finally ordered. I ordered 2 simone bags. One in the kiwi, and another in loud and lime, and a matching lunch bag in loud and lime. FYI, she now charges an extra $5.00 to have a bag lined with a printed fabric, free still for a solid fabric.
I hope shes a little more caught up since she was swamped with WB orders after her vacation and gets mine out faster, because I really, really am excited to get mine.

Can you post a picture or a link to the "loud and lime"?

I ordered the Simone and a lunch bag in this loud and lime. She told me she is still 10 "business" days behind, not just 10 regular days, and she'll still be hard pressed to make that deadline. Good thing I'm a patient girl

Steph, how did you contact her about pick up? Do you just message her?

I just convo'd her and asked if I could pick it up myself instead of shipping it, so she made me a custom listing with no shipping, then invoiced me in $CDN.

Has anyone bought a SLR camera strap from Obleek? I am coveting one like nothing else,but I want to see one in real life, in action! The idea of a lens-cap cover would be awesome instead of fumbling around with them. I waaaant! But I really have to ration my Etsy spending now. Maybe I can convince DH to get me one for my birthday.

I bought one for my SIL! It is really cute. I don't have any pictures though!

A kirby in charcoal and chalk, a penny in carnival in bloom and a large lunch bag in fuschia circlets! They are more amazing than I ever imagined! I'll try to take good pics and post this evening.

I'm waiting for my order to come in with 2 of the SLR camera straps!

I added in the lens cap pouch too. As soon as they're here, I'll post some pictures.

On another note, the business card case for my purse that Katie is doing, she sent a refund back to me for 2 bucks because she thought 7 was too much for them!! Imagine that - an honest to goodness great buisness person! 2 thumbs up for Katie -

Here's a pic of the business card case coming with my order:

Darn you and your charcoal and chalk. That's the fabric I wanted but now it's not on the list anymore (and I finally got up the nerve to just order, the day the fabric was de-listed).

Not fair [in a completely fair way]. Not fair at all [except totally; first come, first served]!

Ohhh totally scary!! I was also the last one able to order Watercolor Posies. Maybe I should order my next bag now!

I think another fabric is delisted, but I don't know which. There were 107 fabrics and now I see that there are 105.

It's funny you should say that. I love my other two bags but am not sold on the charcoal and chalk. Love the design of the kirby but I don't know - maybe it just looks too plain next to the other two fabrics.

Mine hasn't.

I was sure it would get shipped today since Steph picked hers up yesterday.

I had planned to order a couple of bags in custom fabric, but I got impatient today and just ordered the fabric myself.

Another vendor has a makeup bag I want. I convo'd her on Saturday morning to ask if she could add a strap to it. If she'd said no, I'd have ordered it as is, but I figured it didn't hurt to ask. I had planned to get Katie to make me some wet bags in the same fabric (special order) to match. But this other vendor STILL hasn't replied, and I found the fabric for the same price as the makeup bag. So I bought it.

Just ordered a Simone tote and makeup pouch. Hoping that there will be enough "Earth flowers on black" fabric for them after she is done everyone else's orders. It's low in stock AND discontinued!!

Otherwise it will be done in Sophistica with turquoise inside. Either way, it's gonna be awesome. And now I patiently wait...

I feel like I spent a week picking fabrics. Once I narrowed it down to a couple, then I had DH help me pick the final one (ie. by suggesting which one he could see me carrying on a regular basis).

You mean, like this:

Ok, but mine is a bit different since I asked her to use solid black fabric on the top of both with solid black straps. But you get the idea.

Same idea! Different bag! The more I see it though, the more I wish I had ordered the Gracie.! Very nice Honeysher!!
