Kelso Doesn’t Dance- The first ruffle bag was made in early 2007 after the failed search for the “perfect purse.” It was a search for a practical, convenient purse… something that looked nice and still had plenty of sections for everything you could need. After deciding to make the bag that couldn’t be found, Kelso drafted up a pattern and went sewing away. It wasn’t long before people at grocery stores and shopping malls were asking where it was purchased. And so began Kelso Doesn’t Dance with Kelso designing and hand making handbags and accessories with that “perfect purse” model in mind. http://www.kelsodoesntdance.etsy.com

Nesta- Hello everyone! My name is Tandie (aka) Nesta. My 'day job' as a Landscape Architect has been pushed aside by the wonderful world of Etsy. I REALLY have been fortunate enough to do everything I love to do and figure out a way to make a living off of it. It definitely wasn't always that way :)I have 2 Etsy shops at the moment to keep me organized. NestaUsa and NestaHome. NestaUsa, my first shop, focuses more on my photography while NestaHome focuses on my Paintings and other Home Decor creations.
