We are pleased to announce that our website blog is now connected to our Facebook Business Page!

  There are so many things Judy and I love about Just Dotty, but one of our favorites is getting to meet the women who purchase our totes. With the spring show season well underway, we have had chances to do just that. Our most recent show was in Georgetown TX. What fun we had! The weather was beautiful and there were so many people who came by to see us. Here are just a few who made our show...the lady who fell in love with the Lagoon tote, whose husband ended up buying it for her as an early anniversary present. She walked away covered in smiles. The lady who had me model every tote with green in it until she went back to her very first pick. The precious bride to be who came in with her entire bachelorette party and who had to have a Zig Zag tote to take on her honeymoon. The lady who picked a tote that made her think of summer, no matter what the season. The lady who came by to tell us how much she loves and uses the tote she bought from us last year at Red Poppy. Thanks to all who stopped and looked, and all those who bought a tote (or two). You make us smile.

 What a trip it has been... We are in the central Texas town of Salado for the Wildflower Arts Festival. When we finished loading our vehicle yesterday, the SUV was so full that we couldn't see out the back. When we drove up to the window to order lunch today, the young girl said, "Oh, are you moving?" No, that would just be us with all our tent, our totes, furniture and accessories. After three hours of set up, our booth is ready and we have spent a lovely evening sampling Mexican food and fabulous margaritas. We love what we do, and some of our best memories come from these trips and the adventures we have along the way. It is going to be a great weekend!

 Say goodbye to another airline perk. I read in today's paper that starting April 1, chase cardholders will no longer get the first checked bag free on Continental and United flights. When we started Just Dotty, we were just looking to create well constructed, attractive travel totes. We had no idea the direction air travel would take, with airlines systematically stripping passengers of amenities once taken for granted. How glad we are that Just Dotty totes were made to be stuffed! The roomy interior and ample pockets are ready and able to foil the stingiest airline policy.
