Not this year.
The IDHA announced the nominees yesterday, and I'm not one. Rats.
The nominees are all SO great, tho' --here's the link to the site where you can see them all. Indy Handbag Designer Nominees
My pal Darren Wallace, winner of last year's Best Handmade Award, is again a nominee with a FIERCE blue studded Cayman backpack. You GO, Darren!
In the Best Green Category, I think my fave is Andres Stickney's Envirotech Recycled Tire Rubber Clutch with Re-Used Lion Head Drawer Pull www.dresdesign.com. The creativity of them all is super inspiring. Good luck, everyone!
Poor "Last Trophy Bag". It's very sad not to be a nominee; but on a brighter note, I sold it last night to a VERY good home. Spit spot. Movin' on. I will even have occasional visitation rights. Along Came a Spider, and and Lizards Night Out also went this week, both to the same collector.
Now I turn my attention to prepping my presentation for next Wednesday for the Phoenix Art Museum's Arizona Costume Institute. What fun!

The "Last Trophy Bag" has been placed in a wonderful home where she will be loved and adored forever! I'm not sure who I love more; my husband for adopting her for me or Tracy, that Fine Feline in Charge, for designing it! This beautiful piece of art may not have made it to the Indy Handbag Designers nominations but their loss is definately my gain! I LOVE it!!!!!!! Thank you, Tracy. The bag is almost as beautiful as you!
