Here are a few of the moments we shared with our lovely customers this week:

Bunga seemed to be a popular bag with several of our customers this year!



Sharon Benz (wearing the black/grey) got support from her friend to buy her first Laga! Lori Jones snagged the only Bunga we had in black/red/cream and Linda Edwards (who has several Laga’s of her own) encouraged her friend Regina to buy the blue/cream who was truly pleased with her first Laga bag! Congratulations ladies!

Lorraine Harnish from APQS has been coveting co-worker Gretchen Adams’ Harapan large handbag and decided it was high time she got one of her own! Isn’t it a beauty in burgundy/black? Great choice, Lorraine!

Mothers and daughters LOVE Laga! Yet another family, Elizabeth Brigham (holding her new Pagi large in black/brown) and her daughter Barbara Denys with her Harapan small in black/grey, chose Laga to be their new handbag obsession, and we are so grateful they did!

And Kathleen Webb, from Studio 180 Designs, came to purchase three Laga bags to give as gifts to some very special (and lucky!) people in her life. She chose the Ria in black/cream and brown/red/cream and the Mudah in blue/cream. They are all so adorable, don’t you think? Thank you, Kathleen!

There are so many more pictures we took at the Lancaster show but this is just a sampling of our wonderful Laga friends and family… hopefully we can include some of those pictures in a later blog. Thank you ALL for your loyalty, support and friendship! It means the world to us and to the tsunami survivors we serve <3

The post Recap of Lancaster Quilt Show + Recipe appeared first on Laga Handbags Handmade Handbags Vegan.

We have been having so much fun at AQS QuiltWeek Lancaster this week! In spite of the crazy snow storm, we were so please to find a nice-sized crowd at the show! It’s hard to believe there are only TWO DAYS left!

Thank you so much to those who have supported Laga Handbags thus far this year – we have so enjoyed seeing our long-time friends and making new ones!

In your honor, we have featured some of you here:

Gwynne Geyer, Metropolitan Opera Singer and professor at Franklin & Marshall College Artist in Residence, has recently become a staunch supporter of Laga! Thank you for your support, Gwynne! This Pintar cross body in black/grey must be your…. 4th Laga bag?

This beautiful mother-daughter team has been a part of our Laga family for many years! Jeanne, can’t wait for you to receive your Besar in burgundy/black in the mail! Jeanne Garber (holding Rajin in burgundy/black) and mama Linda McCuean – thank you for always being so supportive! We appreciate you both!

Susan Stokes is now finally in the “family” after having seen us several years. Your Ria Plus cross body in black/brown looks fab on you, girl!

This cute Paspor small cross body in dark blue/cream is one of several Laga bags that Sharyn Franck owns. We appreciate your support so much, Sharyn!

Hey, Kathy Lindahl! You picked a really special Laga bag! That Sehat in burgundy/cream fits you like a glove – thank you for your support! Love to meet new Laga friends and welcome them into our family!

Another of our wonderful and faithful mother-daughter teams, what a blessing! They each have several Laga bags – mama is shown here wearing the Pintar cross body she purchased last year, Sandra Miland was wearing the same Pintar but in dark blue/black that she bought last year but this year the Mudah in black/batik and matching Saku pouch were her picks – must be her 5th Laga bag? What a blessing to have you both in our Laga family!

It was such a pleasure to meet and have a heartwarming discussion with this adorable couple, Russ and Lisamarie Mikkola, who have served in the mission field in Haiti. How awesome to meet like-minded servants who have a heart for the Lord! Thank you for your support! We hope to see you much more in the future! Lisamarie is holding the Uang small fold wallet in black/red/yellow and Russ is proud to sport the Tenang in the same color combination. Beautiful!

What a blessing it is to come out and visit with you all! I hope you will contact us and/or post on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lagahandbags/ and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lagahandbags/ about how much you love your new Laga Handbags and Accessories! We sure would love it if you do!

We look forward to seeing more of you in these last couple of days of the show – we still have lots to choose from  because this year we brought enough inventory for TWO SHOWS!

What a wonderful time to visit Lancaster! One of my very favorite things about coming to this city is Lancaster Central Market, The country’s oldest farmers’ market, in the heart of Amish country, chock-full of regional food specialties. Check out the “chow chow” and fresh fruit and vegetables sold throughout, Zig’s Bakery‘s handmade scones, S Clyde Weaver‘s amazing meats, cheeses and dips, and the Lancaster Salad Company where they toss fresh ingredients to make the best salad ever.

Whenever I come out to Lancaster, I try to drive out to the cute little town of Lititz, “America’s Coolest Small Town.” Here are my recommendations:

You must stop and get a homemade pretzel at Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery. There’s the always beautiful and serene Lititz Spring Park. Bring your pretzel here and just sit on a bench and enjoy the view. This is also the home of Lititz Welcome Center and Train Station.

My fave diner in town, although there are several great places to dine, is Tomato Pie Cafe – known for (what else?) their family recipe of Tomato Pie! Deliciously seasoned red tomatoes are baked in a flaky pie crust, covered with a rich cheesy topping! OMG… it’s what I get whenever I visit Lititz.

Wilbur Chocolate Store is not to be missed. This is where the “original” chocolate buds (before Hershey’s kisses got famous) are made. And since the quilt show in Lancaster is held in March, it’s the perfect time to stock up on Wilbur’s chocolate Easter gifts for your loved ones!

But make sure you plan to set aside some of your shopping dollars for our Laga Handbags booth and please do not forget to mention our LAGA HANDBAGS BLOG Appreciation Offer and let us show you how much we do value you being on our mailing list!

And we’d surely love for you to check out our website before the show!
