i’ve been a big fan of sweet sarah, the maker behind miss money bags, for years.
y’all, i’d carry a miss money bags wallet over any fancy pants designer wallet any day. i’ve been using her cash budget wallet for forever (this is the one i am carrying right now).
they’re sturdy, practical & freakin’ adorable.
so naturally, while stalking her personal facebook page (i’d like to believe we’re practically bffs so it isn’t really stalking, right?!) late one night, i came across her newest adventure-
“kith&kin is a family of makers. it’s been in our blood for generations. our grandparents made our toys and quilts, our moms made our pajamas, and we fell asleep in beds our dads made. when we met, we fell in love and felt at home… and kept making alive. we even made four kids! now we make everything together.”
sarah & her husband, peter, are collaborating together through kith&kin to create a wide variety of goods from handcrafted furniture to hand-sewn waxed canvas bags.
people, i instantly had a mini heart explosion over her new totes.
& then i immediately emailed her.
in the email, i think i referred to her bags as amazeballs (they are).
& asked if i could promote her magical new husband/wife brand (she agreed).
sarah also offered to give away a kith&kin tote to one lucky natalie creates blog winner!
friends, i carry my tote everywhere from the gym to the post office & grocery store. it’s perfect for hauling library books & packing a picnic. it’s the perfect companion to my everyday purse because it fits all of the things i need for a busy day.
did i mention these bags are waterproof? magic, i tell you. & the aztec patch makes me giddy.
here are the details on winning a waxed canvas tote:
1. visit miss money bag & kith&kin’s shops.
2. like @missmoneybags on instagram
3. comment below with your email address & how you would use this tote.
i will pick a random winner on friday, november 7th. happy winning!
sarah, thank you for this generous giveaway & for being such an amazing & inspirational maker.
love,
natalie

right now we are dancing between seasons, both later summer & early fall. the leaves are turning the brightest colors we’ve seen in years & falling to the ground while the first of our hydrangeas bloom.
last week, in the midst of to-do lists & deadlines, i stole a few moments in the day to just be.
we need more moments to just simply be.
to notice the spider’s web.
take in the foggy morning beauty…
as we begin our week, i thought i’d share this bit of quiet with you.
i plan to curl up this morning on the couch with a cup of tea & my thoughts.
may you carve out time today, too, for just simply being.
how do you plan to just simply be?
love,
natalie
the natalie creates shop is now open & i am absolutely smitten with this collection of handmade home&beauty accessories.
there are a variety of reversible headbands. when picking out fabrics, i imagined all of my gal pals sitting around a big farm table with coffee in hand. i chose fabrics based on all of their unique styles, quirks & personalities. i hope you find one that suits your unique self.
last shop opening, these headbands sold out in less than ten minutes! my people, you amaze me.
there are also two new designs for fabric happy flags. these are both crazy cute & perfect for your home or gifting to those special people in your life.
i am also thrilled to offer up these fun elastic, on-the-go headbands that are adjustable, too.
to adjust the headband, you simply re-knot the bottom. it can fit any size you’d prefer!
& they come in four fabulous designs.
the icing on the cake? they’re only $3 each! perfect for stocking stuffers.
thanks for loving my shop so well, friends. i’m thrilled to hear what you think!
love,
natalie
p.s. i’m offering FREE SHIPPING on domestic orders all day long. no code necessary! xo.
