Spring Open House

I am preparing for another open house!  I am excited to have many friends and their hand made creations featured in my home on Saturday afternoon!  We will have our purses, my sister's baby blankets and friend's jewelry, summer scarves and many other baby/children's items, and coffee from Zambia.  Also, some good appetizers and drinks.  

I have learned how to do zippers, my newest challenge! We are making lots of different diaper bags, book bags, messenger bags lately too. 

We have hit our 100 purses mark!  I can't believe it!  And we are still enjoying it!

My Open House

The open house at my place was a success!  I made a few sales and even had some custom orders which were fun, including a wolf purse!  My animal purse experience now includes a penguin and wolf purse.  Thanks for coming, hope you enjoy your new purses!

Creative Custom Purse Design

Hello! 

I'm Monica

On July 25th, 2008 my friend Katie taught me how to make a really great purse!  I was so excited, I went home and helped my little sister create her own purse.  That's all it took, I'm hooked!  I have made 45 purses with all kinds of fabric and accessories and I am preparing to enter the holiday bazaar scene!  Yikes!
