    G-morning Karen . . try this on for size -- and change your price up to about 32.95 or higher -- whatever your comfortable with


    these are your keywords ---
    Tote Medium Floral Quilted Orange Yellow Bow Tote Bag Medium Padded .

    change them to --

    handbag - purse - tote bag - quilting - summertime fun - birthday -
    wedding - bridesmaid - gift - event - flowers - orange yellow - orange poppy
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    this is your title -- Quilted Floral Tote Bag Medium


    change it to -- POPPY flowers - floral handbag purse totebag Sophisticated and Chic

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    for your description --- maybe try this ----------- HOWEVER -- measure the drop of the shoulder strap -- to be sure -- the 12 inches I listed is just a guest on my part

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pretty and Sophistication
    will be the chat of your Summertime luncheon
    showing off your chicness with a double knotted Bow

    The beautiful poppy print is 100% quilters quality cotton fabric.

    approx measurement -- 16"w x 12" h with a roomy 4.5" gusseted bottom
    The shoulder straps are padded and measure about
    1 5/8" wide -- with a 12" drop

    this handbag has 2 layers of interfacing
    giving plenty of body - allowing it to stand upright;
    along with a gusseted bottom.
    The matching bow is sewn into the seams for durability.

    The inner lining is quilted and has 4 roomy pockets,
    including a slim pen/pencil pocket.
    also included is a matching Decorative button with loop closure.

    Spot cleaning recommended, hand washing and air dry if necessary.

    Handcrafted by Karen
    Custom orders are welcome


    as with all of my handcrafted items - made in a smoke-free studio.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    I hope something like that helps . .

    also -- from now and until -- about -- mid September sales will be very slow -- so don't be discouraged
    you can also add little things to your listings -- such as -- Credit or business card holders to match the handbags

    just a thought

    Diane, if I ever need it, can I hire you to write my life story? BRILLIANT.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    I like the bags. So cute. I like the bow too. Nice touch.

    I don't sell my bags, I've only made 3 ... one for me and two were gifts. Thinking about making another, it also will be a gift. I don't know about selling them. Have you tried Ebay? You can set a price there too. When I buy fabric, it's always a set price.

    I have made a few for friends..fabric of their choice and asked for a small fee for time so only like $10...but it wasnt for me to make big bucks just a bit
    These things, I warmly wish for you-
    Someone to love, some work to do,
    A bit'o sun, a bit'o cheer.
    And a guardian angel always near.

    Very pretty, have you tried to sell on Face Book? A friend from church does very well on her Face Book. Good luck keep at it
    they will sell, then you won't have time to do anything but totes.

    Ahhhh, you girls are all so kind! Thank you all for the compliments. When I see my bags I see every flaw that I know/think is there, but everyone else thinks they are great-which is what counts.

    Diane/CountryHut- - Wow!! Thank You!!! You are good girl! Tomorrow I plan on updating my Etsy account with your suggestions. How do you come up with that?

    Update: The girl that cuts my hair called and said that there is a lady in town that has opened a new shop that has gardening pretties and home decor stuff. She wants me to see her about putting table runners and such in her shop. I did a drive by this morning on my way home from work and it looks like really nice things in her windows. I'm kinda excited-going to see her tomorrow too. Also found a pattern that is a smaller bag, with snap closed top, not the small magnetic snap, but where the entire top of the bag snaps open and closed. Called Snap Happier. Looks like it should be inexpensive to make and also fast and simple. Which should result in a less expensive bag which will hopefully appeal to more folks.

    Again, I appreciate all of the compliments and suggestions-which I will be looking into each and everyone of them.
    A fat quarter is NOT a body part!!

    I believe that pattern is the one that you put the tape measure in and it snaps shut. I have made one for a raffle for Relay for Life. Be very careful when working w/the tape measure because you can easily cut your fingers!! The way it works is very ingenious!

    When you make it, buy the tape measure at Harbor Freight...you can pick them up for a lot less there. Also, instead of spending two hours trying to take the case off the tape, just pull the tape all the way out and then cut it!!! Don't ask me how I know.....
