You may have noticed me carrying a sweet new bag in my last post. That is the 2015 version of the AquaSeventy6 Fold-Over Clutch. First launched in Spring 2012, the new versions feature a faux-leather bottom and thicker interfacing for more sturdiness. There are so many ways to create and style these bags! They will go with you from season to season!

So many options….

I love the monochromatic black, whites, and grays! I can’t resist adding a pop of pink to a solid gray bag, or one with hints of brown.

Graphic prints will pair up adorably with your little black dress.

If you’re like me and want a bag that will go with everything, you can pair up a brown faux leather with a black and white monochrome fabric. That is my FAVORITE!

There are countless combinations of faux-leathers and fabrics which means that each and every clutch is unique!

There are currently a some ready-to-ship Fold-Over Clutches in my shop, or you can email me to place a custom order!

Clutches start at $24.

Happy 2012, my beautiful friends! I am so sorry that it has taken me a whole 6 days into the new year to wish you well! Also, I am even more sorry that it has been almost an entire month since my last post!!

What a crazy holiday season it has been!! I spent the entire month of December making items for AquaSeventy6’s final trunk show of 2011, in Tampa, Florida. After a 12 hour drive, and three days of last minute preparation, I am happy to announce that the show was a success!

It was such a pleasure to put this show together with my friend, Marcy, owner of K.a.i-y.a. Designs!

Here is the AquaSeventy6 table!

Checkbook Covers, Everything Pocuhes, Key Rings, and Headbands.

Button Pendant necklaces, Cuff Bracelets, He Loves Me Brooches and Hair Clips, Business Card/ID Holders, and more Headbands.

Ruffled Wreath, Felt Wine Bag and Clutches.

Fabric and Bead Necklaces and Scrappy Scarf Necklaces.

Here is the K.a.i-y.a. Designs table. The Superhero tees and onesies were a BIG HIT!

Just look at these super cute headbands and reindeer tees!

I actually wanted this adorable Christmas skirt and top combo for myself!

Our hubbies took over as bartenders for the evening.
Sangria Terreo was number one on the menu!

After a long, yet productive evening, Marcy and I
were finally able to pose for a photo!

I wish I would have photographed some of our guests, but by the time Marcy and I came up for air, the crowd had dwindled down, and our tables were sparse! We were very, very blessed. Thanks to all of you who joined us that evening!!

Finally, I wanted to take a moment to announce some changes here at AquaSeventy6:

I started this blog in 2010 in conjunction with my very good friend, Autumn, who shares my passion for second-hand, refurbished, vintage and handmade items. Together we featured our DIY projects, tutorials and our handmade items for sale. As of January 2012, we decided that we each had so much to share that we would divide and conquer. I will keep you updated on Autumn’s journey and link her new site as soon as its up and running.

Autumn, your contribution to our site will be greatly missed, but I can’t wait to see how you transform your skill and passion into another beautiful endeavor. Love you tons!
