Introducing: the Earnest Tote.

So lovely, so useful, so ecofriendly. Roomy, but streamlined. Soft, but sturdy, Serious and purposeful. Earnest.
Hemp and organic cotton canvas throughout. One pocket inside, one pocket out. I'm so delighted with it, I want to make it in two-hundred different color combinations - for now there are six. In the shop!

Sneaky peek.

I started rubber-stamping the logo inside all the bags. Don't you love how perfect it isn't?

Around here....

Treasury Tuesday.

Pretty, right? here.

Around here....

Around here, I have a bad cold. And that just makes me mad!

Around here....

Around here, we have survived Mother's day again. (Just barely, again.) I'll skip the cantankerous rant this year. Peonies! Oak trees! Glorious weather!

Friday, I'm in love....

I'm in love with these gorgeous jewels from Nikki Couppee. Just in case you're looking for a Mother's Day gift for me. I'd be happy with any of them, really.

Thinking about: pressed flowers.

Such fun!

Who knew that getting a rubber stamp of one's logo and then stamping it all over the place could be such fun? You probably did, because you're so smart and talented. Why didn't you tell me? Now I'm a little bit mad at you.

Around here....

Around here, Cinco de Mayo was very low-key. There was some tequila and a few limes and the furniture got rearranged. Which sounds like a euphemism for something, but isn't!
Today is the last day of the Mother's Day sale in the shop - so go get something! Use the coupon code MAMA13 for 20% off, babies....

Nothing like waiting til the last minute, right?

The last minute is here! Mother's Day is a week  away - and you know how she gets....
So - be "the good kid" and get a good deal at the same time. Shop BananaSaurus Rex, and use the coupon code MAMA13 for 20% off. The discount is good through Monday night so you can procrastinate until then. You know what your Mama would say? Why not just do it right now?

Made by hand, from start to finish.

Made by hand, from start to finish - every time! Not pictured - loud music and honorable intentions. This is a new tote, hemp and organic cotton, one pocket inside, snaps on the sides, so simple and straightforward. Earnest. It needs one or two tweaks and then it will be perfect!
