I'm Officially Published

Okay, if you didn't know, or didn't remember, this weekend the Woman's World magazine came out with the picture of my bag in it. I didn't want to actually get excited about it (too much) because I didn't feel like it would be real until I saw the picture for myself.

So, my bag is in the middle of page 8 and 9 in the May 17th issue of Woman's World, for all of you that want to go out and see it for yourselves. I have this bag available in my etsy shop here, for purchase.

I really am excited now, although it still feels unreal to say that my bag was randomly chosen to be in a national magazine that almost everyone has heard of. Anyway, just wanted to (re)share the good news. Thanks to all of you for following me, even when I wasn't famous! :}

Now it's time to get back to work...

EXCITING NEWS!!!

Drum roll please...
I wanted to tell all of you that one of my small tote bags will be featured in a May issue of Woman's World magazine. I heard from the magazine's fashion editor last month about the possiblity, but was waiting to find out for sure. So, it's official, I'm going to be published, what an amazing opportunity, I can't even believe it!

Now the fun (and the questions) begin!! What if I can sell more bags than I can make? How many bags should I make to put into my etsy shop to be prepared for the release? Which fabrics should I use? What styles of bags should I make? Should I put my Oak Street pattern out there?What about copyright and trademark? Are they necessary? How much should I charge for each product? Where do I start? Yikes, but I am beside myself with excitement, thankfully my husband is helping to direct me, as I can become overwhelmed with something that has so much potential. I really need a lot of luck with this one! Thanks for your wishes!
