Lennie Gets Clothes

Lennie got a new suit for Estes Park. He'll be the most fashionably dressed wheel in town.

It's a spinning wheel bag from The Bag Lady. Cara has one, and I thought it looked like a great idea for taking my spinning wheel to a class (it has straps that allow you to carry it like a backpack or a bag). I looked around (and found some, but none that I loved enough to spend a good chunk of money on), but then I finally found the Bag Lady's website (thanks, Yahaira, for the google help!). Going to the source is always a good idea. Ellie is sooo nice. She sent me photos of her fabrics and we talked about linings (because the linings were my hang up on the other ones I found). She found a semi-solid color in her stash to use for mine rather than her normal florals.

I have to tell you, this is one of the best shopping experiences I've had in a long time. Ellie responded to my e-mail right away and sent me the fabric photos the same day. Two days after my initial inquiry, my bag was finished and on its way to me. I adore good customer service and getting something quickly (I'm really not patient, so I was soo happy). The bag looks great and came with detailed instructions on how to put the wheel, flyers, and lazy kate in so everything fit. The workmanship is guanteed for life, and it's pretty! Lennie will be so happy to be so nicely dressed for our first spinning class.
