I thought the season was slowing down but at the Shediac Craft Shop that's not so. I had to replace several Market Bags as the stock was WAY down. And add another NB tartan purse and a couple of new design purses. Thanks to Ashley who reached out and up to those purses on top. As always thanks to the Cook family for their help/support for all vendors and for supporting the Atlantic Wildlife Institute by helping the critter stuffies find new homes. In fact, there are few stuffies left.

Wildwomen Crafts - Just dropped off Cross-body purses at Shediac Craft Shop in time for Lobster Festival. PS: And to carry all the extras you buy at the shop, get a Wildwoman heavy duty canvas market bag with prints of Maritime animals and AWI logo. Also check out Atlantic Wildlife shelf full of stuffies. Proceeds from purses and bags go to the Atlantic Wildlife Institute (AWI only rehabilitation centre in N.B.). And 100% of stuffies sales go to AWI. Today shop is open until 10pm with music and other activities. Thank you John, Lynne, Emily and Ashley for working extra hours for the vendors.

On Saturday, added new dragon, haunted, Nevermore, Batik and Steampunk cross-body purses at the Shediac Craft Shop. Handy for carrying lots of items from cell phone to overnight items, from glasses to keys and much more. washable, foldable, great for travel. So unique in design (my own design) and a fabric design for every purse-in-ality! Also reduced price of all Market Bags (heavy duty canvas) to $40 no matter the size.

My Story

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.
