*NEW AND IMPROVED*
MADDIE FLAP
We have recently UPDATED our orignal Maddie flap, to include an adjustable buckle closure! All our camera bags will now feature this new design.

(Maddie is pictured in TEMPLE SKY)

(Maddie pictured abouve in Carnival Bloom)

Instead of having a designated length (which can create a slumpy look to your flap), you can simply adjust your buckle to the length that fits YOU and your gear. If you have alot of gear in your bag, just lengthen the webbing and buckle… or if you are using light gear, or as purse, simply shorten the webbing and buckle on your bag!

No more worries about saggy buckles :) YAY!!!

Again, this idea was prompted by a couple of wonderful clients! Without such fantastic customers, where would Tracy Joy be? :)

THANK YOU, and enjoy!

*NEW PRODUCT*
The Susie Camera Strap Sleeve!

(Susie Strap pictured above in IRONWORKS)

We proudly introduce our new product, the SUSIE strap! It is a “sleeve” that pulls over your existing camera strap, giving you the look of a new strap, w/o having to purchase a new strap! Also, letting you change the look of your strap, w/o having to purchase new straps to match each new bag (or Maddie flap)!

After many questions and requests for matching camera straps, this was the best idea! Which… was also partially “created” by a wonderful customer of mine (Shannon, earthymama!).

I have to still add it to my website, but hopefully will catch up to that this coming weekend.

The price will be $16 (plus shipping) and can be made from any print in my collection.
It will measure approx 22″L x 2″W, so it will fit a variety of straps.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY! It is just ONE of the many new products we hope to bring out this year, 2008.

THANKS BUNCHES!

BABY GIRLS NURSERY
Well… as our due date nears closer and closer, I’ve been busily working on baby girl’s nursery (between orders, and loving my 21mo old son, Aj). So…… thank to LOTS of help from my P’s… we have the nursery 99% COMPLETE!!! All it needs now is the bedskirt (which is slowly being worked on, lol). But I’m so excited, and thrilled w/how it turned out… that I had to share.

Her room is a “tropical” pink theme, with monkeys and flowers (using the FLORAL CHARM print by Michael Miller). My FAVORITE detail in the room is the chair rail (thanks to my dad), which is “laced” with pink tulle ribbon throughout the trim.

I found the wall decals at a great lil shop on Etsy. The “doodle flowers” and “monkeys” were just too cute to pass up!! VISIT her site(s)http://www.vinylwallart.com/ or http://www.holly.etsy.com/

Her designs are AWESOME! And they finished off the room PERFECTLY!

Never did I think I’d have a PINK nursery for my lil girl… I always thought more “dramatic” and “mature” or “punk”… but who was I fooling! lol Every little girl should have some pink in her room… I just went a lil over board. And as you can see… her lil closet is filling up w/gaudy pink stuff as well! Did I ever imageine I’d buy her a faux fur bunting…. omg I’m INSANE!

Anyway… I had to share, I’m just so excited she’s gonna be here… and sooner than I can even imagine!!!!

THANKS BUNCHES!
