Some Christmas gift reviews...

I received some really great gifts for Christmas. There was clearly a lot of thought in all the gifts I received this year. I'm going to try to review them all little by little so stay tuned...

One of my favorite gifts this year was from my brother-in-law and sister-in-law--and I'm not just saying that because I know she is a regular reader of my blog! She got me this amazing soft, supple leather bag from CallieCo.

We had seen these bags at the Renegade Crafts Fair in Brooklyn and since that day in June (May?) I have not been able to stop thinking about the bag. In fact, I almost purchased it for my sister in law for her birthday!

So here I am sporting my new leather messenger bag:


Last winter glittens were everywhere! This winter, when I finally decided I was a glittens girl, I could not find them. Mother-in-law to the rescue! She found an adorable pair of black and white glittens at Jcrew. This is me modeling my brand new glittens (notice I am wearing my leather messenger in this pic:)

I'm so happy you love your new bag! You look adorable in these photos. I was thrilled to get it for you because I remembered how excited you were when we saw it at the Renegade craft fair. If it's okay with you, I'd like to pass along a link to your blog to Callie of Callieco, as I told her I was ordering the bag for my favorite sister in law!

Yes, of course pass it along! I'm very flattered that I am your favorite sister-in-law :)

Oh yay! I'm so glad you are happy with your bag. It was super fun to make. Thanks to both sisters in law for your support!!!

Callie, I seriously drooled over the bag and then had dreams about it after seeing it at Renegade!
