For the Birds!


finished another bag and it's for sale!


this one is made from a buttery soft brown leather skirt and some vintage embroidery of a bird and cherries!


here is a process picture of skirt and pocket placement


this is what the lining of the outside pocket looks like


the crochet trim is original to the embroidery.
the bag lining is a vintage calico type print.
and the strap in repurposed from an old army duffel bag!

the Sangria dwindled down, delicious food was devoured, and lots of fun loot went flying out the door!

thank you, thank you, thank you
my friends and customers!

Smashing Rubbish wouldn't survive or exist without your continued support!  You all make it worth my while and i get SO excited when i see you loving something like i do!  thank you for purchasing the items i make and buying the treasure i hunt and gather for you!

shop-n-sip was such a hit that i plan to have an event like this at least once each season.  they will most likely occur after i have had time to design, create, and sew more goods and after major buying trips.  i am also committed to having a sale each season and these will most likely happen before each big buying trip to clear out some room for the new stuff!

it's been just a few days since my first "event" and i have a few more new bags made already!  I am also working on some smaller items that will make good holiday gifts.  keep SR in mind during your holiday shopping, especially if you are interested in unique, local, or handmade items.  we do have Saipua soaps and will soon have locally made vintage record album covered notebooks! 

we will be closed Wednesday Nov. 23 and Thursday Nov.24
for Thanksgiving
but will re-open on Friday Nov. 25, thru Sunday Nov. 27
for all your holiday shopping needs!
