This morning I received a comment on yesterday’s post from Bruce at Ohio Travel Bags. He offered to help me with any questions I had about hardware. Thanks Bruce!
When I started this blog I decided that I would be candid and honest about my business experiences, whether they were good or bad. Yesterday was the first time I had ever mentioned any vendor’s name, and within 24 hours someone from that company contacted me. This is both amazing and terrifying at the same time.
I recently went to a holiday gathering with former workmates and I found out that several of them regularly read this blog. Some of them use an RSS feeder, which does not seem to be tracked anywhere in my wordpress dashboard. And speaking of my dashboard (warning: non sequitur), Wordpress just updated the layout so it’s as confusing as that controversial Facebook UI update several months ago. There are buttons and links that used to be in the nav that are now reclassified somewhere else on the dashboard. I think Wordpress could have had better communication about their upgrades. Maybe I should wait to see if anyone from Wordpress support comments on this entry within 24 hours. Bruce set the bar pretty high.
Still lovin’ the blog. I feel like I am NOT ALONE!
If you have any questions about handbag stuff or even sewing stuff, feel free to ask me.
You have my e-mail in your WP admin.
I am more the fashionista side of this stuff, plus I’m manufacturing my own bags. Whew!
I’ve been studying bags as a lover and aspiring handbag designer for 4.5 years, (before then I thought I wanted fashion design) majorly sewing for, oh 3? And I’m finally getting going, but the closer I get, the harder it gets with dealing with HQ suppliers and the gov. Le Sigh. Oh, and money!
Oh and I haven’t bothered to research conchos – but I’ve read about / seen them when browsing leather or some hardware stores. From your descriptions, they sound like those decorative “buckles” on the front of belts.
Yeah, they’re not for us. He he. (I love those classic buckles anyway.)
