Jeff Allen and the Harvest Series

I'm a lucky gal. Well, first off because I'm currently on a tropical beach vacation with family which has been filled with lots of ocean waves and silly frozen drinks... But, also because I have two of the very best friends in the entire world, and I'm really excited for both of them right now!!!

This past summer, Alice and I found an arm load of beautiful apple bags from a crazy man selling amazing things. (This was the guy selling that lovely dress form I left behind!)

Well, Alice has worked a little bit of that magic of hers and turned the bags into such amazing things and I wish I could have the entire collection! She enlisted two very dear friends and Jeff to snap the pictures and they're so, so lovely I wish I could have been there with them stomping around through that field!









Please make sure you take a peak at Alice's shop, and take a look at Jeff's photos - I'm so happy to have both of them in my life and so dang proud of everything they've accomplished. The best part is I know there's still so much to come!!!

    Wow that is so impressive! I love it. Also I just looked through all your archives and am feeling so inspired! It'll definitely influence what I'm wearing today.

    wow those really are so beautiful- I love how she kept things very simple, letting the salvaged bags speak for themselves, but with a little help from some sturdy leather straps and delicious lining. I want one!!

    Hi there! I don't know if I've commented here before, but I've been reading your blog for a while and I'm always impressed with it. I live in Berkeley and rarely get to San Francisco, but let me know if there's any vintage store I'm unaware of.

    Greetings,
