This week.......................

There are lots of things on my mind this week, so this post may go on and on.......
Anyway, "Yes" I know this picture says "Unlawful to Copy"...but trust me, I spent enough money on packages of pictures that surely this is ok.....and yes, I could have scanned one of the ones that didn't say that, but isn't this more fun?!
So, the reason that Handsome Tyler graces the top spot on my blog, is because this week is the Palatka High School production of "Willy Wonka" and it stars none-other than TYLER! The performances are Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. If you are lucky enough to live in Palatka, then you all really need to attend the show. Jim Pignato, the director, is awesome. Every show I have ever seen is fantastic. To think we have such talent in small-town Palatka, is wonderful. All of the students (and the rest of the crew!!!) have worked non-stop to get ready for the show.

Tomorrow is sweet Miss Ellie's birthday. She is 3 years old. I won't bother with a picture, since she made the blog last time. She is the sweetest dog....and she thinks I am the greatest thing ever! I am going to town in the morning for birthday treats, and maybe even birthday hats....(will definately post pictures of that!)

Last night we had the first official fire of the season in the fireplace. It was divine, even if it was still a little warm! I am so looking forward to cool nights, warm fires, and San Sebastian Vintner's Red! Come on WINTER! I am ready!

This week I am also BUSY BUSY BUSY getting ready for next weeks Open House, we are calling this one a "Shopping Experience"......a chance for everyone to begin Christmas shopping. The brand new "Laura Bag!" is a big hit. It is such a trendy look. There are new postcards coming out with this bag on it...make sure I have your snail-mail address so I can send you one.
Nancy will be joining us again with all of her wares, if you are thinking you want one of the personalized pillowcases, you better come by and place your order....ALSO----there is a surprise for all of you who come shopping at the Open House, but I am not telling you until next week......but shopping with LFW the first weekend in October is definately going to be worth your while!!! :)

OK-I have rambled enough.
Thanks for your time.....
New bags added to the site tomorrow afternoon!

An Adorable Laura Bag!

Just a quick note so you can see this adorable bag...it was a custom order....but so cute I just had to share!!!!!
Y'all have a great week!
:)

Boo!

Halloween is in one month and 15 days. Halloween has never been very important to me. I did dress my children up when they were young (but NEVER in anything scary) and I did take them trick-or-treating----although this only consisted of going to their grandparents houses and our immediate neighbors. 5 places. Still they ended up with bags of candy. Anyway---over the years,even with my lackadaisical take on Halloween, I have grown to love pumpkins. Jack-o-lanterns, plain ones, tiny ones, white pumpkins, black ones( I saw this in a magazine just yesterday....I think it had been spray painted). This obsession with pumpkins is why I love these bags so much....
So, this leads to this: from now until October 7, 2008, if you order this "Happy Jacks Halloween Handbag" you will receive the tiny version for FREE! The Handbag is the Classic size, features 3 interior pockets and a magnetic snap closure. You can also specify short handles or longer ones. The bag is $40. The tiny version is adorable....would make a cute gift for a "Mother and Daughter"......or buy the bag for you and use the tiny for a gift bag for someone who has a birthday in October....
And, just to entice you even more.....If you book a party and schedule it to be held before October 24, you will receive the Classic version of the Happy Jacks Handbag for free....in addition to your other rewards!!!! But, (remember there is always a but) there are only a few more dates open....so you better hurry!

Boo to you!

The OpenHouse

Good Morning-

Many thanks to all who visited the Open House...As it gets closer to Christmas we may even open the studio during the week...and remember you can always call the studio and arrange an appointment to come out and shop!

We were thrilled to once again have our friend, the very talented Nancy Vorasso. Her vintage-inspired aprons, little crayon bags, personalized pillow cases, wine totes, and all of the other things are wonderful. They all would make a perfect gift!

And finally this morning, I have MISS ELLIE she never lets us get a good picture of her, however, Tyler shot this one yesterday morning, and it is pretty sweet!

Y'all have a great day!

Laura

PS: I am adding NEW bags to the website this afternoon!

Tuesday, September 2, and There is ANOTHER Storm!

I am thankful this morning that New Orleans appears to have come through Hurricane Gustav with minimal damage. I am hoping now that the rest of us will come through Hanna, Ike and the tropical depression that is trailing them. It is certainly an active hurricane season.

Which leads me to my next point. The September Open House is still on schedule for this weekend, Saturday. September 6 noon til 4, and Sunday. September 7 1-3 in the afternoon. Our good friend and expert seamstress, Nancy Vorasso, will be joining us with all of her pretty things at the studio this weekend as well. The invitations and emails are going out today. I will update the front page of my website should anything change in regards to the storm. I am thinking that by Saturday the worst will be behind us, and everyone will be ready to get out of the house and SHOP! We are beginning to get our Christmas fabric in...along with a few more gorgeous prints!
Look! We received enough of this fabric to make 30 of these bags....all of you who missed out on getting one last year now have one more chance. I am taking orders right now for them, first come, first serve. They will not last long. It is such an adorable bag.
You can call the studio directly at 386.937.9929, or email us at lfwdesigns@bellsouth.net to reserve yours.
Have a good week! Keep your fingers crossed about the storms!
Thanks for visiting-
Laura
