I'm so excited about your shop and I feel your excitement too!! I'd like to be there for the opening but ... I live too far away from you, snif. Fortunately there'll be an ol-line shop too!!
You're one of the most creative persons all over the world Elsie!

Elsie, question! I don't use plastic and love the fact you have a cool reusable bag, most of them are ugly as you know what! Can you make some with a larger strap you know 9.5", that would be fantabulouse! And one tiny other request, and I am sure some of your older fans (you know I am a old 35) would love to see t-shirts for women who are NOT a size 4...LOL how about a nice 10/12/14 & 16 size...ROFL! no seriously!

are those button-up sweaters that you and the male model are wearing in the first picture available in your shop too? i have been looking EVERYWHERE for a long button up like that, with the pockets and everything!!

RVA's store is going to be awesome! Still trying to figure out a road trip there ... lol
I love the felt food pieces! A big ol' burger for me, fries for my daughter ... oh yeah!
And Jeremy's space ... looks heavenly - good creative space.
Can't wait to shop! Wishing you all the absolute best with RVA!
