Have you checked out my new purse designs? The Halloween one is pretty outrageous with a witch head and bat gracing the side. There are 6 Christmas designs of purses also. All of them are pretty wonderful & festive in their own way. A few weeks back, I had told you I would share with you a funny story about my new purses.

The very first prototype was done just before my 2007 Signing Tour, so I decided to take it along with me to get some consumer reactions…and boy did I ever get some reactions! And not the ones I expected!

My first outing with a new purse design was to a Signing Event in Sacramento…I flew up in the morning and back in the evening. Well…with no luggage, I quickly realized that carrying a purse was pretty convenient…that is, until I was on the airplane getting a lot of funny looks & stares. Not a question or comment from anyone, but quite a few “looks”.

I got over my apprehension & unease of carrying a purse and made it to the Signing Event at William Glen in Sacramento, where I received quite a few positive comments. My friend and sales representative, Lynn Oakland carried the purse on her shoulder all afternoon there and could have sold at least half a dozen on them according to her “report” to me on the way back to the airport that evening.

I went through security…yes…there were a few glances then and also as I boarded the plane. When we landed in Orange County an hour later, I got my purse out of the overhead bin & held it as I would any other bag. I could hear some whispering this time behind me. Eventually, I got the nerve to turn around and as I did, the woman behind me gasped “Where did you get that!?” I actually stumbled for words, as now everyone around me was staring…all wanting to know the answer to the question. Well, I explained the whole story, the result of which was 2 ladies wrote down my website address & promised to look for my Fairies immediately & to look for my new purse designs this year. Boy was I ever relieved!

You can click on the purses to the right to see the details better, and when you click on the Christmas purses, you will see a better view of all 6 designs. These are most definitely limited, so don’t wait too long if you want to get one.
