And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down. . .

It's not been a good week here on the Island for taking photos - but at least we don't have snow. Here's a Red Bag with an extract from Lewis Carroll's 'Changing the Guard', which kind of suits the Jolly red canvas (photo taken at the end of last week, when the sun made an appearance).

We're also working on a couple of new bag shapes and will post pictures of those. . . when the sun shines again.

Flat White indeed

We would just like to point out that Dr Bean has been serving Flat White coffees for, like, ages, having realised that it is the best combination of coffeeness, frothiness and creaminess you can have in a cup.

And we don't charge any more for it.

Small Scale Recycling

I might take some of our Tin sculptures to Bovey Tracey. Mostly made from various drinks tins, champagne cork and wire.

Absenteeism is not the way forward. .

Oh Dear! Oh Dear! (in the style of the White Rabbit), poor neglected blog. It is very easy to slip into decline and ignore the need to post.

After a verrry long absence, it's time to pick things up again at the speakeasy (the name wasn't meant to be ironic). Yes, Bags are still in production - very much so. After a busy 2009, we are hoping that 2010 proves to be as hectic.

We are delighted to announce that Dr Bean's Bags will be appearing at the Contemporary Craft Fair, 11 - 13 June, at Bovey Tracey in Devon. This is great news and we are really looking forward to being there. Of course this means that we really have to keep on top of things. . .

New Bags

Here's a  a couple of pics of new Bag and Lining colourways. The cheery lining fabrics are looking good and the black canvas has a certain sense of style that contrasts well with the natural canvas Bags. We've fitted the black Bag with a brass eyelet and shackle, which is rather classy. And, I guess, the black canvas won't show the dirt.

We'll add the black option to the website soon. (Once the Festival is out the way, probably).

New website is open

We would just like to announce that after a slightly longer time than we anticipated, the 'Dr Bean's Bags' new website is officially open - with a shopping facility. Hoorah! 

We can also say that we have been incredibly busy with sales (and, therefore, making) which is our excuse for a poor showing on the posting front. There are some new bag ideas and styles in the pipeline, so when we get a spare moment, we'll add these to the site.

Finally, Dr Bean's Bags will be attending the Garden Show at Stansted Park, Rowlands Castle, in Hampshire, so come along and have a look.

Spring is here at last. .

Perhaps the sunny spring weather has gone to our heads, but we're thinking of trying some alternative linings. . . These work rather well, especially with the natural canvas exterior.
