Here are some of the items I am loving!

Customs anyone?

 Thought I would post a couple of the custom orders that I did for 2012. 

This is the first bag that I have added stitch detailing to the shoulder strap.

I forgot to get a picture of the finished bag. Here it is just pieced together.

Pin it...to your shirt

Last month, I made some necktie pins, but never made the time to post any pictures. Here ya go!

 

 

******Head bands too******


 

 

 

 

Pins and headbands will be listed at http://www.etsy.com/shop/PurdyEveryday soon.

Savings ends soon

It may be too late to shop for holiday presents online, but it's not too late to get holiday presents for yourself. Just found this great site that lists discount codes on Etsy.







Get all your etsy discounts codes here. We are still offering 20% off select items until 12/31/12!!
 

Tradition

There is a tradition in these parts that includes shopping at odd hours, waiting in long lines, and spending endless amounts of time looking for a parking place. As tempting as this tradition may be you don't have to give in because we will be offering some savings too, but this offer won't involve punching someone to get the front of the line before the store opens. Starting now through Monday we will be offering 20 % off any purchase on Purdy's Etsy page. So sit back, relax and do some shopping from your couch this weekend.

Use code 20NOVDIS to get your 20% off!!!

Always a bridesmaid or not

It's that time of year

 Fall is just around the corner and that means T-shirt scarves are in production.

 Visit us tomorrow at The City Flea to see this fall's collection of scarves, plus lots of other handmade goods.

The next phase

You may be wondering what else can we make out of ties? 

 

Here it is, the wrap tie bracelet.

 

 

 

Why are these bracelets so cool? They wrap around your wrist creating two times the fun. Okay, they just look good!






We will have these new bracelets available at the September City Flea. 

 

Nothing left behind

I have been making bags out of neckties for the past couple of months. That left a ton of small tie scraps, so I made wrist tie bracelets!

 Sizes available for men, women and children.
