For the last several weeks I haven't been able to sew.  So, to keep myself busy, I have been knitting some absolutely gorgeous ruffled scarves.  As can be seen in the photos, depending on the ruffled yarn used, a totally different ruffled look can be created.
Ruffled scarves easily take simple to stunning, dull to dazzling, ordinary to outstanding.   I could obviously go on & on!
Consider a ruffled scarf for a wonderful holiday gift that will not break the bank.
The scarves described as Starbella are $25 each and the other individually named scarves are $30 each.
The scarves should be hand-washed & line-dried.  Each scarf averages between 44 and 54 inches in length.
The scarves shown are what is currently available.  Please email me to reserve a scarf for you!

Arlene's Bags at the Carpenter Museum's Folk Art & Artisans Show in Rehoboth, MA

Leslie, Arlene & Anne on Saturday

                                                             
Thanks to everyone who stopped by Arlene's Bags this past weekend at the Carpenter Museum's Folk Art & Artisans Show in Rehoboth, MA. This was my first time at the show, both as a vendor and shopper. It was an absolutely terrific event. I know for certain I owe most of my success this weekend to my wonderfully patient husband John and my 2 nieces, Leslie & Anne who came up from Baltimore and Philadelphia to help out Auntie Arlene!

The Newest Maggie Slouch Bag

Outside Front

Just tonight I finished another Maggie Slouch Bag.  What is different about the newest Maggie Slouch is it has a magnetic snap closure and a zippered inside pocket.

This new fully lined Maggie Slouch measures 13 inches high without the strap and about 27 inches high with the strap.  It is 14.5 inches across at the top and 11 inches X 4.5 inches across at the base.

Like my other Maggie Slouch bags, this newest one is very roomy and has very clean, simple lines.

Price: $30.00

This bag will definitely be available this coming Friday and Saturday at the Carpenter Museum's Folk & Artisans Show which will be held at the Francis Farm in Rehoboth, MA.   www.carpentermuseum.org  Just head for the Miller Building where you'll find Arlene's Bags!

The Abbey Bag in a Bag is the newest addition to Arlene's Bags.   The Abbey Bag is literally a bag within a bag.  The outside bag has 6 deep pockets and a rear zippered pocket.  The inside has 2 elasticized pockets and 2 water bottle pockets.

The inside bag has a top inset zippered closure.

This multi-use bag is especially ideal as a small laptop bag, a diaper bag, a book bag or a general multi-use bag

With its adjustable straps the Abbey Bag in a Bag can be carried as a shoulder bag or converted to a backpack.  Converting the bag to a backpack simply involves reclipping the swivel hook.

Price: $65

The Tami Bag

Outside Front Split Pockets

The Tami Bag came about as a result of requests for a small bag that can also hold more than just a credit card and some keys.

Although the Tami Bag is small, I think it fits the bill for having a lot of space. It measures 9" wide x 8.5" high x 2.5" deep. Although it can be made with a regular shoulder strap, I did add an adjustable strap so it can be worn across the chest.

The Tami Bag has a stylishly designed split outside front pocket, a rear outside zippered pocket, a top zipper closure and 3 slip-in inside pockets.  

Price: $35.00 + S&H when applicable

Rear Exterior Zippered Pocket

                                                                

The Adriana Bag

Outside Front in Tiffany's Trove Prequilted

The Adriana Bag is the perfect bag for someone looking for a bag that is uniquely stylish, roomy and adjustable.

The Adriana Bag has both top and bottom front pleats, a divided slip-in rear exterior pocket, 6 interior slip-in pockets and a magnetic snap closure.  For hands-free shopping the adjustable shoulder strap makes it easy to convert the bag to an across-the-chest bag.

The Adriana Bag measures about 11.5 inches across and 13.5 inches tall. 

The Adriana Bag can be made up in any of the fabrics shown in my etsy store or on my web site.   For this listing the bag is shown in one of my newest prequilted fabrics for 2011, the very elegantTiffany's Trove  as well as Blue Pearls of the Orient.
