Once upon a time, on a Tuesday... way back in November, I posted one of my poetic creations here on Gather, entitled Once Upon A Time. This creation called out to me several times, as though directing me to "Do" something special with it. So, in need of a special creation for an upcoming event, I "Did" something...

 

 

Product Details:
 
One front adjustable clasp closure.
Main compartment has inside slip pocket.
Front panel has zipper compartment.
Adjustable 2" shoulder strap.
600 Denier Polyester
Size: 14 1/2" x 12" x 5"

 

The photo above does not do this Messenger Bag justice. So I do hope you'll have a closer look at it at my shop, where it is available for purchase..:-)

It's nice Ruthi. Nice and roomy. It will hold lots of books.
Ruthi C. Jun 8, 2010, 1:25am UTC
Thank you Lee! Very roomy! And it holds a LOT for sure! It's great for a laptop, too..:-)
William Dotani Jun 8, 2010, 1:38am UTC
You don't need books in there. You should have only hair supplies to make every woman you meet envious.
Ruthi C. Jun 8, 2010, 2:00am UTC
I do like the way you think, William..:-)
lynn a. Jun 8, 2010, 1:23am UTC
It's perfect, Ruthi. Wow you are so talented. I wish I could read the writing, but can't.
Ruthi C. Jun 8, 2010, 1:29am UTC
Awww, thank you Lynn! Here's the poem for you m'dear...

Pages of a book tell a story,
Allow us a look into glory.
Words of an age, an eternity,
Scent of the sage, shared serenity.
Sippings of its tea come to the fore,
Leaves of a tree, bound, forevermore.
lynn a. Jun 8, 2010, 1:34am UTC
Thank you very much, Ruthi. I just knew I'd like the words if able to see them, and sure enough, that was true.
Ruthi C. Jun 8, 2010, 1:49am UTC
You're quite welcome m'dear, and thank you once again..:-)
William Dotani Jun 8, 2010, 1:36am UTC
Looks nice, but the print is too small for me to read.
Ruthi C. Jun 8, 2010, 1:48am UTC
If you look right above you, William, in my comment to Lynn I have posted the poem. There is also a link to the original poem in the text of the post.
:-)
William Dotani Jun 19, 2010, 9:36am UTC
I like the gentle rhyme and how you use the word sage for both that of the person and the soothing substance. (Sage is very healthy).
Ruthi C. Jun 19, 2010, 11:36am UTC
Thank you William, and yes, sage is medicinal in more ways than one.
Lawrence U. Jun 8, 2010, 1:39am UTC

Brenda Youngerman Jun 8, 2010, 9:37pm UTC

Brenda Youngerman Jun 8, 2010, 9:39pm UTC

Rosa See Ya Jun 9, 2010, 3:35am UTC
Oh gosh, I love it. That has to be the perfect book bag - so unique!!

Is Cafe Press a good place to sell stuff - do you get a lot of traffic there?
Ruthi C. Jun 19, 2010, 3:24pm UTC
Thank you Rosa ... I'm doing pretty well at CafePress abitosunshine, I'm delighted to say! The traffic is word-of-mouth and, of course, building relationships with others creates lasting friendships, as well as shop sales. I have fun with it, to me that's what it's all about.
Marsha C. Jun 9, 2010, 11:54am UTC

Ruthi C. Jun 20, 2010, 3:03pm UTC

Marsha C. Jun 9, 2010, 11:54am UTC
I wouldn't know how to do cafe express....but I have some photos that actually are nice
Ruthi C. Jun 20, 2010, 3:04pm UTC
It's work, tho' work that I enJOY, Marsha, I spend a lot o' time in my graphics programs designing carefully designing each poetic creation.
Len Maxwell Jun 9, 2010, 3:25pm UTC
That's really cool.
Ruthi C. Jun 20, 2010, 3:05pm UTC
Thanks Len, I think so too..:-) And it's a hit, as I've already sold quite a few!
Connie C. Jun 10, 2010, 12:06am UTC
Ok Ruthi,
I just ordered a messenger bag and a tote bag. Also referred two friends. :) Good luck
Connie C. Jun 10, 2010, 12:06am UTC
I hope they arrive before my surgery. I will carry my stuff in them for Roger to read and some munchies while I am in surgery
Ruthi C. Jun 12, 2010, 2:09am UTC
You're awesome! Thank you! I'm sure they'll arrive before your hospital stay, let's hope anyway! I'd ask you to do a product review, but I doubt you'll be up for it for awhile. HUGs Connie!
DIANE D. Jun 10, 2010, 12:27am UTC

This is wonderful. How did I miss it in November? I have missed seeing your work lately. I am glad to see an example of it now!
Ruthi C. Jun 20, 2010, 4:15pm UTC
I dunno ... maybe you didn't like my writing in November ... sniff, sniff!
:-)
Thank you Kevin!
Kevin E. Jun 20, 2010, 4:49pm UTC
Are you kidding me? There has never been anything you have written that I haven't really liked. That being said I have been known to miss some posts from time to time.
