When I go shopping I try my best to bring my own bags so that I don't end up with a ton of plastic bags so I try to remember to bring reusable bags with me. I like looking for reusable bags that are both well made and reflect personal likes so I was exciting when I found a shop called Pet Studio Art because they sell a wide range of tote bags that feature a large selection of animals.






For my review I was able to select a tote bag of my choice but it was a difficult one to make because the store owner Stephanie has prints of several different animals I enjoy so I gave her a few options I liked and asked her to surprise me. When my package arrived in the mail I couldn't wait to see which tote she selected and was overjoyed to see that she had selected the Hedgehog print. I love hedgehogs and I would love to own one but at this time I am not able to get one so instead my fiance got me a FurReal hedgehog for Christmas so I decided to snap a photo of it with my new bag. The tote bag is made from 100% cotton and is environmental friendly, flat the bags measure 14.5in x 15in (Flat) and weight 6oz so they are pretty light weight and the fold up easily so you can store it in your purse or car for when you need it at the grocery store. The tote bag is well made and the print on the front doesn't have a sticky or gross feeling to it like some iron on patches/printed shirts can tend to have if they aren't done correctly. The material used is soft to the feel yet durable and will stand up to carrying a heavy stack of books or several canned goods.





Looking the tote over I wasn't able to find anything I didn't like about the bag, the inside has a small seam neatly tucked into it, and all the stitches are securely in place. Stephanie sells her totes for $15 each plus shipping, to me this is a fair price for a tote that is not only handmade but made well and durable so it is sure to last for several years to come, plus the prints are so cute how could you pass them up? Pet Studio Art also sells jewelry and cat scratchers, she responds to emails and inquiries in a timely manner and gets orders out quickly. My tote bag came with a lovely handmade card which I thought was a nice touch. I also wanted to note that her dog and cat models are rescue pets from the various shelters and rescues that she works with to help promote their pets through adoption. She offers free photo sessions to any rescue in her area of Austin, TX and to date has raised over $25,000 for animal charities through her fundraisers and referral program (She donates 20% of the profits from any order that a rescue refers to her at Pet Studio Art).

Complex Wish Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Complex Wish for the review free of charge.****

I used to save plastic bags from the store for dirty diapers because they came in handy when I wasn't able to put it in the outside trash can right away, but since my son is in the process of potty training and our plastic bag collection has become quite large I have too many bags. I've been thinking of ways I can cut back on the amount of plastic bags my family & I go through, when I decided I want to start using tote bags to put my store purchases in. So I began a hunt for cute tote bags that fit my personality and likes along with being effective for carrying groceries or other purchases which is when I came upon Complex Wish on Etsy. I was recently sent the How to train your dragon - Toothless and Hiccup tote for review.





The bag arrived in a very timely manner and was well packaged it arrived in a sealed plastic bag to keep it safe from getting wet or dirty while on it's journey to me. Along with the bag I also received an adorable bonus Totoro drink coaster that is squishy and adorable, I think I would be sad to put a cup onto this coaster because of how great it looks. The tote is 14.5in x 15in and has a hand drawn photo heat pressed onto 100% cotton. The images featured on the products sold by Complex Wish are hand drawn by Lynn the artist who runs Complex Wish, I personally think there are a lot of details in the image and she really captures the essences of both characters. I now carry this bag around with me in my car to make sure I have it with when I make purchases, I have received quite a few compliments on it asking where I purchased it from.





Along with tote bags Complex Wish also offers key chains, coasters, mouse pads & more featuring a number of characters. The tote bags are $14.99 a piece which I think is 100% worth the price considering the bag is 100% cotton, sturdy and the images are hand drawn. Customer service is fast, friendly and reliable this is an Etsy shop I would purchase from in the future for gifting needs and my own person needs. All items ship World Wide!
