Madonnari on Main was a really great event. Thanks to Tracy and Carole, and everyone who made it possible. It was a great chance for people to express themselves. Patricia Peixoto, Elisa, Singley, and Barb Levin are all pictured in various stages of creating their art. It was such a hot day I don't know how they managed to finish the work, but they did and it was great. All three said they had a great time and are looking forward to doing it again next year. Watch for it next year, it really was a sight. There were 50 or 60 kids creations that were wonderful as well. We can't wait for next year!!

Summer's almost over!

We've started getting in our "transitional" pieces to go into fall. Can you believe it? Before we know it, it'll be time to go back to school!

Latico has some really great new colors and shapes. The Bettina bag in flame is pictured below. Flame, a rich burnt red-orange, is a new color for Latico and is one of my favorites. Perfect for Late Summer/Early Fall.

We've also just picked up a new line of bags, called Bobo Bags from California they use a beautiful Italian leather. Click here to read about the founder and the company. Bobo is an impressive mid priced high quality classic bag. The bag pictured below is the East West Satchel and we also have it in black patent leather.
