chaos, life's priorities, and a show

wow. talk about missing in action! we are currently recovering from a condition many of you have experienced at some point in your life - a huge overturn and completely chaotic rearrangement of life's priorities. a battle between what is required, what is expected, what is desired, and what one is actually capable of handling <-----that's always been the real clincher for us!

apparently we were closer to the "not so capable of handling it all" point then we thought. so please accept our sincere apologies for our temporary absence. we are here. and we still wish to spread spiciness across the globe! :) we are excited to participate in the oh sweet sadie! holiday show at soda row shopping district in daybreak, utah next month. we will be featuring several new and exciting products at the show, so be sure to stop by and check it out! the oh sweet sadie! holiday show is november 11-13 with a special pre-show party on wednesday, november 10 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. the pre-show party is by invitation only, so if you'd like to attend, let us know and we'll add you to the guest list!

one of the great products we will be featuring at the show is our iliana baby girl blazer. perfect for this lovely fall weather, our iliana blazer comes in sizing for 18 months, 2T, 3T, & 4T. the iliana has a designer fabric exterior, fully lined interior, and coordinating fabric details - pockets, cuffs, and collar. all of these great features for $35.00!


we are also working on revamping our website a bit, so if you have any feedback on how to make it awesome, please feel free to let us know!

and as always, thanks for supporting spicy designs!

loves, steph & al

we hope to see you there!

we have been celebrating a lot of birthdays lately here at spicy designs and wanted to let you know of a super cute gift idea for your loved ones...SCRIPTURE TOTES! say "bah-bye!" to the plain old maroon pleather and "hello!" to funky and fresh designer fabrics with fabulous details and accents! spicy offers two unique scripture tote designs...

the pyper

and the libby

both totes boast designer fabric exterior with synthetic leather accents, straps, and bottom of the bag. they hold the entire standard works plus a manual, and have a zippered pocket and easy access fabric pocket, as well as spots for pens and pencils.

but this tote is extremely versatile and can be used as a regular purse too! one of our client's purchased three pyper totes to use as purses and sent us the following note:

"dearest accessory gurus, {spicy designs...DUH!!!}

thanks for the cutest purses EVER! my older sister and i are going to texas to surprise my younger sister for her birthday. i thought having adorable totes was a MUST! thanks for making it a reality!"

so whether your friend, sister, or self is having a birthday, be sure to visit our "sassy" and "playful" tabs and check out these great totes!

Craft Lake City to Celebrate the Do-It-Yourself Craft Movement
130 Local Artists will vend at festival on August 14, and the movie Handmade Nation will be screened August 15

SALT LAKE CITY, July 27, 2010 – SLUG Magazine is proud to announce their festival, Craft Lake City (CLC), which celebrates alternative craft and all things handmade {and spicy designs will be there!}. A movement is taking place all across Utah in spare bedrooms, family rooms and garages. The movement is called do-it-yourself or alternative crafting, and artists are making everything from soap, to stuffed animals, to recycled clothing {and super spicy bags, baby blazers and hats, and pillows}. Women and men are making and selling their own goods, lashing out at sweat shops and striking a blow against exploitive business practices often associated with big business.

The second annual CLC will be held on Saturday, August 14, 2010 from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Gallivan Avenue, behind the Wells Fargo Building, in downtown Salt Lake City. The event is free and open to the public. A panel of local artist selected 130 of the best Utah crafters to vend at the event.

we'd love to see you there!
