Storefront shopping

upcycled wine gift bags

As I mentioned earlier, my upcycled wine gift bags are currently for sale in downtown Waynesboro, VA at the River City Art and Wine Emporium. Tony and I stopped by over the weekend to take a few photos of the bags in the storefront window. Each bag is made from the sleeve of a men's dress shirt, and I tie on a matching gift tag with a ribbon. Each gift bag is one two of a kind!

    How fun! It must be really exciting to see your work in the windows, too!

    KTG, I know I must be a broken record, but seriously...you are so talented and creative! What a neat re-purposing.

    Thanks, you two! It is really exciting to see them in the windows. To be honest, I made Tony drive by multiple times this weekend so I could see them. :) Also, as of today, I have a few of my journals for sale in a bookstore/cafe in our town. And I'm going to have a booth at an art fair next month too. I'm going to be a very busy bookmaker until then!
