Lindsay has some really great items like this ring... go check her out!

Cobalt and Green!

I have been seeing cobalt blue items popping up all over Etsy. It's elegant, beautiful, bold and looks good with diamonds! My clutch was included in this treasury and I LOOOOVE the items she picked. How great are those shoes?

Labels and Embroidery!

Well, I'm really excited because I got my fancy woven labels to put inside my clutches. They came out really cute!

I also finally upgraded my sewing machine and now I can do some basic embroidery, yay! That means I can offer embroidering names and/or dates on the inside of  the clutches - not to mention some cool designs on the outside.

I'm also about to get into some printed fabrics, since I've mainly stuck with silks so far. If you didn't catch my last listing, it's for the first printed clutch. I'm so excited to change it up a little!

So basically, stay tuned as Simply Clutch delves into other areas!
