Ruby go Rugby Now in Stock

2009-10-02T07:56:00.000-07:00

I was a silly old rug before I was rescued from the local thrift sore. Now I am a very cool, very trendy bag. I feel as though I have a new lease on life, and what is better, instead of the world walking all over me, I can carry it for you! Won't you take me home today.

I measure approx 24" wide and 18" deep. I am completely lined with a blue table cloth, ornate with white and red daises. My strap is made from two reclaimed leather belts. My belts are adjustable. I also have a a pocket on the front to carry your cell phone and keys.
These bags are awesome, and each one comes with a label and its very own story! Here is an example of what we have been working on!! Cannot wait to release these to the public, and see where things take us!!!

The Market At Serendip has been featured on Columbus Alive's Blogg!!

Our bags will be at two events this weekend!! Check us out!!

2009-09-24T05:25:00.000-07:00

Fall Hooka In The Hills, Athens Oh

Oktoberfest, Columbus, Oh

Come to one of these two events and check out all that we have that is new! We have added lots of new bags and styles to our inventory, so come and see what we have. We will do special orders too!! If you have an idea or a request, just let us know. Here are some pics so you can see whats going on. Don't forget to leave your comments, and let us know how we are doing!!

The bag shown is our newest style, sporting our label (finally). It was originally made to be a yoga bag, but funny, most of them sold to be carried just as back packs or over the shoulder slings. We are developing a slightly shorter style with thicker pockets for the camera enthusiasts, turns out the pockets work great for all the lenses. We might have to come up with a new name for that one. Send your suggestions. We also have a new laptop bag, that is made from mens dress shirts. The only thing it is missing is a neck tie. Will follow up with photos later today. Enjoy and hope to see you this weekend.

2009-07-22T17:09:00.000-07:00

My Reason to Relay

I Relay because I want to see an end to cancer during my lifetime. Relay gives me the unique opportunity to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission by fighting back against a disease that has already taken too much.

Please support my efforts to fight back against cancer by making a donation or joining my Relay For Life® team.

Your efforts will help the American Cancer Society fund groundbreaking cancer research, provide up-to-date cancer information, advocate for all people to have access to screening and treatment, and offer free programs and services to improve the quality of life for people facing cancer. By being a part of Relay, we are joining a worldwide movement to help defeat cancer for future generations.

As many of you know, my mother Georgia Lewis, also known as our artist Sadie Jayne, is a breast cancer survivor. As a caregiver to a survivor, I can tell you that there is no more important cause than this one which we here at Ethel Jayne Originals Support!

We will be holding a trunk show in Vassar, Michigan September 1st and 2nd where a portion of all bags sold on those two days will go to support this team, and be donated to the Realy for Life!

We all have a creative inner soul, here in this shop you will see work, by ETHEL JAYNE, MARY JAYNE and SADIE JAYNE. These are not just pen names, but so much more, they are our creative sides, our artistic talents and our definite stronger halves.

Mary is quiet and serene, with so many hidden talents, and Sadie is full of wisdom and ideas yet to be discovered. So here is where we will let these talents shine, and hopefully through success, we will find a happy medium of co-existence.

Silky Satin Bag from Dresden Plate Antique Quilt

2009-06-24T14:29:00.000-07:00

Ok, now this might make the quilters out there have a heart attack, but I salvaged this from a dusty antique store, and really could not think of a better use, than as a new bag!!! Here you will see start to finish shots. I think I can make about 10 of these from this quilt. I am so pleased with how they came out!!!

North Market Artisan Sunday's

2009-06-22T18:22:00.000-07:00

Here are some detailed shots of our booth last Sunday at the North Market Artisan Sunday's. What a beautiful day to sit and hang out. Never mind that it was Fathers day, it was still a beautiful day, and the people and atmosphere were wonderful. Our bags were a big hit. Too bad we could only get into two of these events. We will have to see what we can do about that, stay posted. It was a cool place to be!!!!

So here is a line we are calling "Auntie Teak" after the antique crazy quilt we cut up to make them. Now before all of you cringe in disgust, over our blatent destruction, we salvaged the quilt from the dark depths of a wet basement, so it really never would have made a nice quilt. We believe the quilt dates back to the 1930's. Now how cool is this! They are really "one of a kind pieces"!

The Stacey Satchel

2009-06-19T08:24:00.000-07:00

Here is the new Stacey Satchel! It will come in many many sizes and colors, and these are just the ones we have done at the moment. I am so excited about this style. First because I love the satchel/messanger style look over the shoulder, and second because some of the feedback that I have gotten from our shows has been to add flaps, closures, snaps or hooks to secure them shut. Well, here is a flap! This one in red has a multi colored striped interior, and the red was a table cloth found at a local Good Will Store.

This Stacey Satchel is Brown and Aqua and was previously a bed sheet, with a cool square pattern to the fabric.

And this last one is Red with black on the inside. The red was a really cool King size blanket I found at a thrift store from Pottery Barn, and the inside was a pillow case. I love using this type of fabric the most, because of the texture and thickness. Check it out.

2009-06-16T21:01:00.000-07:00

Here are two bags, that have both sold. I loved them both, and they found very happy homes. Color abounds in them. I will put pics of all kinds of the bags with the trees up soon. The trees are becoming like a symbol for Ethel. Kind of like the tree of life. Let me know what you guys think.

Who is Ethel Jayne?

2009-04-23T01:56:00.000-07:00

ETHEL JAYNE is my pen name so to speak, but she is so much more than that. She is my creative side, my artistic talent, the definite stronger side to the two of us. We are now as one, but I will admit that we have struggled for the wheel for years and years. She is strong, confident, and full of wonderful new imaginative ideas. So here is where I will let her shine, and hopefully through success, we will find a happy medium of co-existence. Having said these things, please do not think that we are insane, or any more unstable than the person sitting next to you. Through art, we have found a place of happiness, and acceptance. Stay tuned for more updates on what Ethel has created and what I have put up here for her.
