It is my pleasure to introducing you to the talented MILK AND HONEY HANDBAGS!!

I have to tell you a secret…I am seriously envious of seamstresses. My mom and sister are both very talented seamstress, my sister is even a Fashion Designer in LA. I think God just skipped me on this gift because I just don’t get it. Every time I try to sew something it looks like I got in a fight with the sewing machine and there is no doubt who won. I will only attempt to sew a button if my mom is out of town on vacation and my Husband is missing a button on his only black suite that he has to wear to a funeral the next day. And even when that happened it looked like a mini chocolate chip had dropped on his suite and landed smack dap in the middle of his button. I was just embarrassed for him and myself, IT’S A BUTTON ! My sweetie forced a sewing machine on me, thinking I just needed a class and some encouragement. Didn’t work, there was just too many options and gadgets and It looked like someone with man hands and tremors tried to make a pillow, IT’S A PILLOW! The poor instructor was even embarrassed.
So it with great enthusiasm (and slight envy) that I introduce you to Amanda…

I met a girl who had made the skirt she was wearing and a matching purse. I thought to myself, hey, I could do that. I asked for a sewing machine for my birthday and fell in love.

I am inspired by color and fabric. Nature, old photographs, and movies also inspire me and influence my designs.
