A Few Positive Changes at Mama's Pocketbook
Mama's Pocketbook is a small business - my pride and
joy - and I will never stop doing what I love so much.
I've learned so much , and now that I am well into my
third year of this venture, I can see where it's time
to make a few changes to improve the quality of service
and to improve operations to stay strong in this time
of change for the entire country.
While the present economic tightening is affecting
everyone, we can all make some simple changes that will
make life a little easier and allow us to enjoy a savings
of time, gas, money and energy. One change that is easy
to do and that brings savings in all those areas is
to shop online!
What could be better than to browse beautiful shops
like this one, and all the shops at Make
Mine Pink for example! In the comfort of your own
home, in your own time, you can find all the gifts and
goodies you want for the holidays and have them come
to you! Many of the shops even offer free gift wrapping
- and you haven't seen "presentation" anywhere
like what these shop owners have to offer!
No crowds, no parking, no wasting your gas driving
from store to store looking for that elusive perfect
gift, no lugging around heavy packages and no wearing
yourself out!
When times are tough we are called upon to be smart
and savvy and realistic in our business and personal
decisions. Shopping at online boutiques stimulates the
economy just as much as shopping the big box stores,
more so if you ask me, because you are helping the small
businesses thrive and grow and supporting families like
yours directly. You'll find unique items, handcrafted
goods, carefully selected products, antiques, home decor,
furnishings, arts & crafts, "green" and
personalized gifts for everyone on your list.
I've recently taken a hard look at where we are as
a family and as a small business owner and have made
some important decisions in order to keep my business
alive, serve my customers fairly, contribute more to
my family income and have time to balance my life, tend
to my health, and spend with my family.
Over the Winter 08/09 I will be giving my website
an update and I'll be modifying my product offerings
in preparation for a "Grand Revival" of Mama's
Pocketbook in Summer '09
I'm not going away! No, not at all! I'll be right
here, but over the winter months I will be re-engineering
my business, tightening up by offering only those items
I can produce for you in a way that is managable and
that allows me to balance my work and home life for
the better for everyone.
My children are growing way to fast, and as much as
I love creating beautiful accessories, I don't wish
for all of their memories of me to be ones in which
I am stressed out, sewing all hours of the night and
never having time to spend with them. That is not what
I started this business for. I'm here to celebrate my
God given gifts and talents, my love for creating and
to keep close to the memory of my own mother through
this venture. But I also am learning about how to balance
my life so that I am giving my all to have good health,
precious time with my family and a healthy business.
So, If you notice a little less product, or a change
in the items I offer, that just means I'm doing what
I can to ensure the success of this shop. I'm here,
you can always reach me as usual, and I think these
changes will keep everyone happy and will prosper my
young business through these current economic challenges.
I will involved in quite a few new ventures over the
next few months that will ultimately provide the platform
for taking Mama's Pocketbook in an energized, new exciting,
and hopefully properous direction.
This is a time for "sewing" the seeds of
the future.
Throughout this winter, new products will be added
in the form of One-Of-A-Kind's and possibly some Limited
Editions, as I have the time to create them and add
them. But whatever you see posted, will be ready to
ship. Other than wholesale orders, during this time
I will create very few made-to-order products. I do
still welcome custom order inquiries!! Email me anytime!
I thank all my customers for their kind patience and
loving words of encouragment as I've weathered the growing
pains, learned what works and what doesn't, and made
the hard decisions to implement this new business plan.

What
Sets Us Apart
Quality
* Beauty * Performance
From the triple stitched or enclosed seams (no raw
edges ever!), to the layers of fleece and interfacings,
perfect stitching, and exquisite trims, to the extra
features ... it's the attention to detail, craftsmanship
and quality that my customers rave about most. I admit
it, I'm a perfectionist. It's my mission to create gorgeous purses and
accessories that are also completely functional, useful
and dependable.
Every item is created with superior workmanship
and I personally use a prototype of each design to test
for performance before adding it to my collection. I
want only happy, repeat customers and to create items
with itegrity that would make my Mama proud!
Vintage, Romantic,
Floral, Textured
Each pocketbook is beautifully crafted
from romantic fabrics that are either floral or vintage
or that have a vintage appeal. My bags celebrate femininity
and beauty, but are also hard-working, practical and
functional for everyday use! I draw on my experience
as an interior decorator when designing my one-of-a-kind
accessories and personalize everything I make with
dressmaker and decorator details such as piping, ribbon,
fringe, antique buttons, jewelry, lace, embroidery,
and other decorator details. The fabric speaks to
me and tells me what it wants to be; I know you'll
enjoy the results.
