Congratulations to comment #230, Michaelvickicoachman Winner of one Green Circle camera bag!
Thank you all to the wonderful comments and birthday wishes. It was really such a treat to read how young I look 
So, my birthday is coming up this Friday, and what better way to deflect from feeling old then by giving away one of my favorite camera bags?! I’m giving away a Green Circle camera bag to one randomly chosen entry.
There are 3 ways to enter, for all *cough cough* 33 years of my existence.
1. Post a comment wishing me well and telling me how I couldn’t possibly be 33.
2. Tweet this to all your friends, and come back and leave a comment telling me so.
3. Share this with all your old friends on Facebook, and come back and tell me you did so.
Deadline to enter is Friday, July 23rd at 8:58 am, the precise time of my birth. 
Winner will be announced later that day.
this could be yours
(call me crazy, but I’m also giving away a photo session and 16×20 canvas on my other website!)
Finally, I’ve got the last few of my spring bags in production, and the new fabrics are ready to go!
It’s been, and continues to be, a lot of work. I appreciate everyone’s patience with me as I slave away in my own personal sweat shop! These bags are all cut and sewn by just two of us – if you knew how many pieces went into just one bag, you may die. It’s a lot.
There is a new process I’m starting for getting on the wait lists. Look over to the right. See under the Links heading? There is a link for Wait List. This takes you to a super short form to fill out, just name, email, and which bag you want. This form is the ONLY way to get your name on the list. I’m not accepting emails, facebook messages, or etsy convos. I’m trying to stay organized and make sure everyone gets taken care of
When your bag is ready you will be sent an invoice through Paypal- reserved bags will no longer be sold through etsy. If you want to pay by money order, just let me know and we’ll arrange it.
Ready to see what the new bags look like?!
I think this is my favorite. Ever.
Artichoke Heart
A very close second – another Echino print
Yellow Bird
This fabric has a bit of a sheen to it and is more lightweight than the others.
Summer Swirl
Back for round two, it’s the Echino bird print from a few months ago!
Purple Bird
And back from last fall… this was my favorite until the Artichoke came along. I was able to score more of the fabric, and have bought every yard I could find from 3 stores. It’s going to be limited, unless I can score some more. Love it. It’s a cream and plum wool.
Plum Plaid
Wanna peek inside? They are made with fuschia and celery linings!
And there you have it! Feel free to email any questions to waitlist@kettihandbags.com
I’ve got 3 extra red/gold bags! They are going to be listed on etsy Friday by 12 noon, pacific. First come, first served!
And keep your eye out for some new fabrics making their debut by the end of the month
The waiting lists are full, and all the current spring bags are now retired! If you’re on the wait list, yours will be coming soon. New fabrics will be introduced in the next few weeks!
Thanks for everyone’s patience. I’m working on them as fast as I possibly can.
I really must have a thing for yellow this season, seems that every bag so far has yellow in it. Guess I just want my sunshine!
So this little bright spot of a bag is new and there’s a couple available right now. If it’s gone by the time you see it, I’ll have a wait list started so just email me {ketti12 at gmail.com}
Anyone that’s been patiently waiting for a bag to purchase (thank you!) may be interested to know I do have waiting lists going on. I try not to have them all reserved before they are ready, but for those of you that know which bag you want, go ahead and shoot me a message to get on the list. As soon as it’s ready I will let you know and post it as a reserve for you on etsy.
I’m keeping the same fabrics in the mix for several months now, and adding 1-2 new ones each month. March’s new fabric will be available in about 2 weeks, so keep your eye out for that! It’s a fabulous orange and yellow – very fab for summer.
Look for a new, very limited edition bag this Friday! It’s fun and funky, and one I’ll actually be keeping for myself. I’ll only have a couple available for sale and don’t plan on making more of it.
And just for shiggles, here’s a promo picture I took this past weekend.
I’m giving away a camera bag over on Tara Whitney’s blog this weekend! Leave a comment over there for your chance to win one of these 3 bags. Ends Sunday, 8pm PST.
At last, the 3rd and final of the spring line is ready!
I know it takes me forever to get these things made. Keep in mind, I have two small boys at home that do everything in their power to keep me away from the sewing machine. Trying to find the balance between them and work is something I’m sure I’ll never find. But it’s here. I persevered.
So, these 3 bags will be around for a couple months. If one is sold out, check back in a few days, since it just means I’m busy making more.
I’ve got one more of my spring bags ready!
There is one more that will be ready by Monday or Tuesday. These 3 will be around for the spring and I’m going to try and add one new fabric a month. If any of them are sold out, know that I will be making more. I can only make a few a week, unfortunately!
Also, my etsy shop has been nominated for a Lovelie award. Pop on over there and see all the great shops and blogs that have been nominated!
