The Roadster

When you are ready to hit the road, whether by plane, train or car, be sure that this purse is on your shoulder. Big enough to hold your iPad and everything else you need, but small enough not to take up too much room packing for your trip.

It's A Major Award!

Major Award

That's how you'll feel when you buy this beautiful purse set for yourself or as a gift. Choose the Original with eight pockets, add a Tri-fold wallet and Tissue Cover and you have everything you need to accept your Major Award.

Twelve days of Christmas and lots of shopping to do!

Let me help you trim down that list. To paraphrase the song... five mini messengers, four pleated pouches, three checkbook covers, two click clack clutches and a gadget bag to hold your accessories.

Featured: beautiful clutches that have a secure closure and detachable rhinestone pin. Glittering fabric is festive to carry to Holiday parties and New Year's Eve celebrations.

The Mini Messengers were hung...

...by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. These Mini Messengers make great gifts. Add a gift card or lottery ticket or movie tickets and you have the perfect present for friends  and family on your list.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

The snow can't stop the girl who enjoys outdoor sports. These versatile bags are ready no matter what the weather brings. The Original can hold extra hats or gloves and has room for lots more. The Tissue Holder keeps your tissues dry and is perfect for runny noses, and the Mini Messenger is a great "in between" size purse you can throw over your shoulder when you just need the necessities.

This photo was taken October 29, 2011. We accumulated six inches of snow!

Bubble Beach Bag - Sounds like fun!

A big hit this summer when the beach beckons and childhood memories chasing bubbles along the shore come together. This big four-pocket bag has an elastic opening and removable ribbon accent pin. Inside pockets provide enough room for flip flops, sun screen, sunglasses, books etc.
