Lightweight Take Everywhere Bag
Our friend Erin brought one of these totes with her on our trip to Belize, and all of us were jealous. Stuff it into the pouch, and it’s only 4” x 3”, but it opens to 20” x 21”. It’s made of nylon and Erin keeps hers with her for groceries and unexpected errands. The open bag is reasonably attractive too. Click through for more images.

Monster Stockings
Monster stockings! I’m smitten. Monster stockings are beautifully made, fully lined, and they come in whatever color or pattern you want (custom stockings are no extra charge). So you can get a funky velvet and faux-fur monster stocking, or an upscale brocade with satin claws. The photo shows a Dragon style stocking, but you can also get the Bad Bird with longer claws, or the Creature Feature, which has a webbed foot. They’re so fantastic that I’m looking for a reason to keep mine out all year.
$40 at Crafty Robot
(For the small stocking, which is about 7" across at the cuff and 17" long.)
