New Listing! Purple Bangle Mini Purse

Its been a long time since I've added something to the shop, so I'm super excited! You can find the link to the listing here, and since you're following me, you get to see ALL of the photos--not just the 5 photo limit on Etsy.

Here's the description:

This purse was designed to keep your valuables close to you while doubling as a stylish accessory. This little purse dangles from your wrist, keeping it safe from straying hands at all times.

Its just big enough for you have the bare necessities on hand for a party, wedding, or other social event. 

Ease your mind during the hours before a flight by keeping your passport, boarding pass, and cellphone safely tucked away in a tiny bag on your wrist.


And the photos:

Oh, and about the name. "Purple Bangle Mini Purse"--I'm not really sure about it. Any suggestions? It has to be descriptive, and with words that people would search for, so an obscure name won't do. What would you name this purse?

Cool Graphic Tees

A girl can never have too many graphic tees....at least that's what I tell myself when I'm at the mall. Here are some really cool tees I found while clicking away online. Enjoy!

Coming Soon To Tyler Handmade...

Bags, bags, and more fabulous BAGS!

Pretty soon the focus of my Etsy shop with be purses ONLY. Right now, I'm working on some clutches for prom/formal season, and then I'll be making plenty regular sized handbags as well. My plan is to clearance out my shop and fill it with handbags. So if you love something, don't wait to buy it. Once its gone, it will be GONE. However, if you really really want me to make you something other than a handbag, send me a message and  we'll talk about creating custom order for you.

So like I said, I'm getting rid of everything in my shop and there will be a sale soon, so stay tuned to this blog, my Twitter, and my Facebook page (find the links to those on the left<<<)

Here's an example of what my upcoming handbags will look like. I just sold this one today!! Complete with bamboo handles and a magnetic snap :)

Made a sale!

I'm sorry, but I'm soooo excited because I've finally made a sale on Etsy, and I haven't in many many weeks. I almost gave up all hope, but a few days ago, I relisted a few items (without being sure if they were worth the 20 cent listing, lol) and tonight I made a sale!!!

This is what I sold

Red and Navy Scarf

Purdy, ain't it? :)

"But Tyler," you may say. "I'd like a scarf like that too. In my favorite colors--no! My team colors. Oooh, no! My school's colors. Heck why not one of each!!!"

If that is your problem, my dear reader, I can help. Just send me an email at madametj@gmail.com telling me what colors you'd like your scarf, and we'll work something out :)

In the meantime, you can always check out the other items I have available at www.TylerHandmade.com. I have just a few precious items up right now, but I'll be adding more all throughout next week. 

Anyways, happy almost weekend everyone!
