a while ago i learned about nathiya’s company, *emera, via nicole’s blog. later on i met her by chance in a class we were both attending during one of nicole’s amazing art weekends. her stylish camera totes have been on my wishlist for some time now and has moved up on my list since discovering her latest design…
this classic canvas style was designed {as are all of her bags} to store and protect your photo gear. there are seven padded compartments that offer customizable spaces {thank you, velcro!} for you to fill to your heart’s desire. the cotton canvas is also water-resistant and the straps are made of sturdy leather. there’s an interior zip pocket, outside pockets, and a full zipper top to secure your precious camera and more.
classic canvas camera tote: $169.00
ps – i love that this doesn’t scream look-at-me-i’m-carrying-an-expensive-camera-in-here.

as promised, i’ve got an amazing giveaway for you. man, oh, man are you guys lucky! suzie of bees’netta is offering up one of her gorgeous bags to a lucky winner. let me introduce you to the prize…
you’re in love, right? this day labourer {a $250.00 value!} is made of a royal purple twill and was designed by suzie herself with a classic satchel in mind. there are double flap pockets and gold hook closures, and two tote spaces {with enough room for your books/magazines/binders/laptop}, one of which has a magnetic snap closure and the other sports a zipper closure. what i love about suzie’s bags, aside from the fact that they are all beautiful and well-made, is that they are so functional. i’m a practical gal and can appreciate that there are both handles as well as a removable and adjustable messenger strap, pockets for things like your phone, and that the bag closes.

Douche. I hear people use that word a lot. I can’t recall myself ever using it and kind of think it just sounds gross. And weird. Notice how I even left it out of the post title? Well, check out these doucheBags by Shirin Handmade…
Mellow Yellow: $48.00
Geometrix: $45.00
White Noise: $45.00
Shirin is based in Vancouver and takes recycled shower curtains and gives them new life by turning them in to bags. ‘Douche’ is the French word for shower, thus the name doucheBAG. Clever!

Over this past holiday season {previous ones as well} I did my shopping from only small businesses. Everyone got things from me from shops that were local or independently owned. One of my favorite shops for getting unique gift items is Limonaia.
Located in Russian Hill here in San Francisco, owner Jessica Goldfarb has curated a selection of goods from both local and international companies fit for any occasion and recipient. Most recently I picked up a vase and candle for my mom, a fabric pouch for my sister, and a memory card game, drawing books and bath treats for my nieces and nephews. Oh, and there may have been a little something for myself thrown in there as well. The shop is great because it fits any budget.
Stop on by and see Jessica and her friendly staff. They are all very helpful and knowledgeable about the lines they carry in the shop. Some of my current favorites are the fabric headbands and ponytail holders made locally {which I own}, paper products, candles, soaps, and well, just about everything I guess. My friend actually just gave me the cutest wristlet/clutch from Limonaia recently as well. I’m also kind of obsessed with the blabla dolls {hey, I’m a big kid, right?!}…
