Today, The Shediac Craft Shop was so busy that I had to wait to get in to restock my Wildwomen Crafts display. With Lynne, John and Barb's help, we finally restocked. Here are 5 new purses added to the already stock
I make purses, canvas totes and hooked rugs to support the charity, the Atlantic Wildlife Institute. It depends on the design. can I put it on flap.

Kathy With a "K" makes unique purses mainly from repurposed materials found in thrift shops. I enjoy spending hours in a thrift shop searching for materials I can use to create a unique purse. Whatever the design or fabric, every purse has an adjustable strap (the + feature for all sizes of wearers); are quilted, lined, pockets, many washable in cold water/hang to dry. Average sizes are medium (9x10" approx) to large (12x12" approx) depending on flap design. Clutch size is available. Denim Jean colours are mainly black, light/dark blue, occasionally grey or brown. I started making purses from repurposed blankets, blazers, suits and so forth. Go to my page Maker of Purses to view the vast array of purse designs and materials available.
Although my purses are not totally from recycled materials, most of the fabric in them such as repurposed jeans, jackets, blouses, curtains, pillows, belts etc. are from Thrift stores or donations from friends etc. . The #2 polluter in the world, second to carbon/oil industry and products (such as plastics) , is the clothing industry, especially the fashion industry. In the past, clothing that has not sold in stores was burned instead of lowering prices or recycling at thrift store locations. (See Forbes and other web sites for further clarification and information). So thrift stores and, in a very small way, my purses are helping to reduce global pollution. When you buy a purse from Maker of Purses, Kathy with a K, Grande Digue, you still get practicality, functionality, uniqueness, beauty, fun, wearability, reasonable prices while helping reduce global pollution. Someday, maybe, gov'ts and businesses will invest in repurposed, handmade, local goods. Take care of you and others.
