HAPPY LabSpace USERS (Part 2)

Some time ago I wrote a little illustrated piece about what happens to my little pouches once I separate myself from them. Here is the article (where you have met with Monica in Chamonix, Charlie in London, Guy in the Far-East, Margherita and Isabella in Rome, Sabrina in Geneva, Greta in Texas, Angela in Vancouver and Ilaria in Turin).

Today I would like to dedicate an entire chapter to one of my biggest fans and LabSpace supporters: Ayesha Baumgartner.

This international and multi-talented woman, model, actress (click on the "voice animation" button top right to hear the amazing voices she is able to produce), martial arts instructor, and extensive world-traveller, is the founder and director of the Montreal-based Kids Act 2 Drama Club in Canada. She directs her charismatic environment-consciousness towards educating children to a socially-aware and green attitude. I am pleased and proud that she has found her LabSpace pouches to be useful in many different parts of the world during her globe-trotting.

Here she is in the desert in JORDAN. Ayesha found her "MOVIE FRAMER" pouch handy for keeping her small belongings close at hand, and used her "BOTTLE" pouch for stylishly carrying her water bottle on her.

Her "HEY MR.COWBOY" hip-pouch was securely fastened to her belt, so she actually had three different pouches on her at any one time for carrying all her things, hands-free.

Here's a teatime toast to us from the desert:

Here we see Ayesha on the Seine river in Paris with her "VERY NAUGHTY" pouch:

The "SYMPHONY IN SILK" pouch travelled all the way to Melbourne:

And the "BOTTLE" pouch came in handy again in the Maldives:

Ayesha's latest trip took her to Geneva, so here she is saying "hi" from the top of the Salève mountain...

And just guess how this intrepid woman came down from the Swiss mountaintop?...Well... she took the shortest way down it: VERTICAL.

SPOT THE FABRIC contest: LabSpace pouch GIVEAWAY

WIN the SAKURA pouch by LabSpace

The HOTTEST, most "hearted" item of my Etsy shop!

Don't miss this unique giveaway. It's easy.

Just spot the fabric... tell me... and then hope luck is on your side.

La creazione più "cuorata" del mio Etsy-negozio. Non perdere questa occasione. E' facilissimo.

Individua la stoffa... comunicamelo... e incrocia le dita.

As some you perhaps already know, my little pouches and clutches are made with 99% recycled bits of material, left over from my sewing activities. This gave me an idea for a fun game: it's like a Treasure Hunt. Take a good look at this Fairy Princess outfit from my Etsy Shop:

Come alcuni di voi forse gia' sapete, le mie borsette sono create al 99% con pezzi di stoffa riciclata, avanzata da altri miei progetti di cucito. Da questo e' scaturita l'idea di un gioco divertente, una sorta di Caccia al Tesoro. Date un'occhiata a questo vestitino Fairy Princess (Principessa Fata) del mio negozio Etsy:

and tell me which of my bags you think has recycled some of the leftover fabric from this dress.
e dimmi quali tra le mie borsette, secondo te, contengono pezzetti di stoffa avanzata dalla lavorazione di questo vestito.

HAPPY LabSpace USERS

Today I would like to share with you what happens to the little LabSpace pouches once they leave my fizzy, simmering Laboratory Space in Rome!

Very glamorous lady, Monica M., used her LabSpace shantung silk pouch on her skiing holiday: "My lovely iPhone pouch is just perfect and very much of use on Chamonix slopes."


London's tip-top hair stylist Charlie C. has his LabSpace handmade leather belt-pouch with him at the restaurant. He also wrote me: "I love my iPhone pouch; it went with me everywhere during london fashion week.... thank you Rachel xx"



Guy H., extensive world-traveller living in the Far-East takes his pinstriped LabSpace belt-pouch on all of his travels. He says: "I really love the sobriety and impeccable finish of this pouch. Very useful because in hot weather conditions I often do not wear a jacket and my trouser pockets can end up stuffed with too many objects. This pouch allows me to wear my iPhone under my floating shirt--- and it's almost a pity it disappears from view!"


Margherita R., sportsy roman biker, keeps her iPhone cosy in her LabSpace iPouch, tucked underneath her leather jacket.


My beautiful friend Sabrina T. waves to us from Switzerland during her sunny Sunday morning walk and says: "This was taken earlier this morning, gorgeous weather but fierce wind, iphone nice 'n snug though..."


Isabella H. from Rome, Italy, loves to use her LabSpace pouch when she takes her dog for a stroll. "It's just the right size to fit my phone, my keys and a few treats for my four-legged friend."


Greta H., who lives in Texas, USA, says: "I love my LabSpace pouches! The colours, the raw silk. Very useful not only for my iPhone, but also as a little hand pouch for lip gloss, comb, tissue, pen, paper, etc.". Greta sent me these pictures on her way home from the NASCAR Race.



"TEA & CHI" Angela J. from Vancouver, Canada, is one of the most amazingly charismatic women I have ever met: she is a Chi-Running and Marathon coach, Iron (wo)Man, musician and businesswoman (she has a business in health-enhancing Rooibos Tea). I am so proud that she finds her LabSpace pouch useful when zapping around on her energy and action-packed days. Read all about her on her personal website.


For beautiful Ilaria R. from Torino, Italy, whether it be work

or "play"
her LabSpace pouch is in her day!

Thank you so much my friends for sending in your pictures. If you are also a "Happy User" and would like to be published on this blog, "send'em on in" by email to rachel.h[at]tin.it
