Country backgrounds again

I spent another photographic Sunday in the country, like I did last March.

My will was to refresh some photos of my shop and take photos of two new bags I made recently.

I wanted to use again those special backgrounds of old grey cement and used wood I can find in our little house near the orange trees garden S. grows in his free time.

 

Besides taking "professional photos", I captured some moments and details of nature around me, too.

Oh, this young cat was so lovely:

 

 

S. picked up some green peppers (his Brother is growing them together with other vegetables):

 

 

I used them for a typical sicilian dish called "caponata". I cooked it the day after and was delicious (peppers + eggplants + potatoes + onions.... yummy).

 

 

Then I took photos of my new bags.

Last week I decided to make a little change and sew bags with a new (to me) design.

So I refined the self-drafted pattern of a bag I made for Francesca and I tested the new pattern on some Ikea fabrics (sturdy, perfect for this kind of bag).

The result is not-bad :)

 

I photographed them with the old cement wall as background:

 

 

 

And on some tree branches, too:

 

 

If you're interested they are in my shop now (sand bag, multicolor bag).

They are medium size, have darts to make space inside and a new kind of inner pocket I sperimented with recently (closed by a metallic snap):

 

 

Yes, I took this photo before putting together the bag to show you the pocket! :)

 

To end the photographic session I took again some shots of little jewelry I have in my shop. Cutted trunks we usually use as chairs offered a nice background for earrings and pendants:

 

 

 

Now my shop has a country-chic look I really love.

I alternate white and country/old-style backgrounds and the final effect is very nice!

 

Uh, this is my photographic set:

 

 

So different from the previous one I have showed to you (no animals in this one, only some ants walking on the trunks, eh eh).
