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.

Lancaster holds such a special place in our hearts – maybe because it is the Very First Show we ever did! It’s been 10 years now that we have been exhibiting in Lancaster and it has never been a disappointment! The people, the weather, the atmosphere, the food, the people (oh, did I say that already?)…

Yes, the PEOPLE who live there and the PEOPLE who have so graciously and faithfully supported Laga Handbags have been there for us each year. And it gets better and better with each show; we are so very thankful!

This year is starting out a little bit crazy with the Fourth Nor’easter hitting Lancaster with several inches of snow. School closures and a state of emergency for Lancaster was called yesterday. They are expecting 8-12 inches of snow tomorrow. But we are keeping our fingers crossed that the numbers are much lower! Because if the roads are all open, we will be there!

We can’t wait to see you in Booth 1118! But Please Travel Safely!

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!
