Loyal Customers Unite
Thanks for your continued support. With a few orders here and there I couldn't be happier. The cosmetic bag has been a mainstay for over 2 years. With its snappy clutch-like opening it's a must have on your vanity or in your travel bag.

Some of you will notice that I have taken the messenger bags, carry-ons, and backpacks off-line. I have found that people like to customize these bags. And so I have sat with many clients discussing fabric and colors over tea or by phone to create a unique bag to fit their unique self.

Last summer I even made some bridesmaid bags. What a treat. I am happy to extend this service to you as well. Just email me and we can start exploring all design possibilities.

I have a few new items up my sleeve for the middle of spring. Let's just say I have my children doing a little durability testing before I release it to the public.

Once again thanks for you contiued support. Tell a freind. Write. And most of all enjoy yourself.

Fall is here!
HedyHandbags has been laying low on the web side this summer but we enjoyed a wonderful season in the sun at numerous street fairs and trunk shows. Look for a web revamp in the near future. Thanks to all who have stayed in touch and all those who are just discovering Hedyhandbags.

NWSource Weekly Find
Hedy's carry-ons (totes) get a little e-press from Seattle Times NWSource written by shopping columnist Kathy Schultz.

"These cheery totes are practical for almost any outing, whether it's a day picnic with the kids or hauling work projects. Hedy Anderson, an on-the-go woman and mother, has road-tested and fine-tuned her bags, designing a perfect, washable go-anywhere tote that also scores high in the cute category. She takes them sailing, to the bookstore, to farmers markets and on overnighters. Anderson knows a sturdy carry-all is invaluable. She lines all of her totes and uses heavy duty waterproof Cordura for the handles and the bottom of the bag. They come in pretty floral and stripe patterns for $90, and are available at Hedy Online, Fancy, and The Little House. Anderson also makes cosmetic bags, backpacks, and messenger/across the shoulder bags."

Thanks to Kathy and NWSource.

Spring is Here!
NEW! NEw! new!
Finally Spring is here and to celebrate we are launching our new site and product line. We couldn't be more excited. Thank you for all your support and kind words of encouragement.

Like always we are keeping it simple. We hope you enjoy browsing through this season's collection.

If you happen to be in the neighborhood (Vashon Island, WA) this Thursday, try to stop by the Wine Shop on Vashon HWY for Hedy Trunk Show, fundraiser and wine tasting. I'll be there with free gifts for all and my new Spring collection.

Hope to see you there, Hedy
