The netting work is really exquisite. Another great article, Nadine. I love that your posts always marry fashion with the work of local artists. It makes me realize how many truly unique and special things can be found here.

I’ve seen a lot of this young woman’s art- some that she did when she was a mere 14. Her sensitivity to her subject and maturity in expressing images on canvas is both startling and very moving. She just gets better and better. Kudos to Fashion Mag for featuring up and coming artists- now let’s all support them by investing in their work so artists like Jess can keep being who they are called to be- artists extraordinaire. The world needs artists too!

These are also great for those of us pining for some Nova Scotia beach from the other parts of the country. Will you ship them to Ottawa? Also, if you (as in Jess) are looking for a place to sell them a little far from home, I can think of a few places around here that would love to have a few Canadian originals amongst their goodies.

Hey thanks everyone! Just so you know,
there ARE more purses coming VERY soon to my website and the Clothes Horse (and the one above is now available on my website).

You should also check out my site later this week for some new earrings and fun rings too!

thanks again, i’m so flattered!

I think now I’ll have to make my first-ever trip to the Clothes Horse! I could almost FEEL how soft the leather was from your post, and I also LOVE the seashell detail. You’re doing a great job at connecting fashion with Halifax, and with the ocean.

Rebecca, you’ll have to go check out her bags at the Clothes Horse, and then bite your lip for a bit in anticipation… she’s got many a bag just near completion, and will be unveiling them soon.

The pictured purse looks like a melt-in-your-arms creation. I just took a quick peek at the website, and the purse pictured there is equally beautiful, but very different in character.

I’m loving these seashore beauties! Thanks, Nadine — for the behind-the-scenes story, and the head’s up that this is in town.
