Hello Button Family! I know it's been a couple of months since my last post. I had a lot of personal things going on and so much on my plate that I needed to pull back on a few things and blogging was one of them. Sometimes it's neccessary for self care and that's EXACTLY what I did. However, if you keep up with me on social media, you will see I haven't skipped a beat when it comes to creating handbags and accessories! But I am BACK to blogging because I want to make sure that those of you who are NOT on social media also aren't left completely out of the loop.
As usual the Button Family is keeping me busy by challenging me with new custom stained designs on the classic styles that I have and boy do I love the inspiration that you all bring to me. THANK YOU! You all push me to grow in more ways than you know!
CHAKA CLUTCH: ROYAL
In addition to creating new accessories, I have also been working more with photographers who have pushed me out of my shy comfort zone! It has been a journey of growth for me and I am EVER so grateful to be connecting with other artists as well as new supporters! I remember a time when I didn't want to be in front of the camera AT ALL and now I am having the time of my life! I recently turned 40 and it has sparked a whole new confidence in me. I am ready to take bigger risks while pushing myself even HARDER, which means even larger rewards!
MEMORIAL DAY SALE!!!
Since I've been gone for a while, I thought I would come back with a nice sale just in time for Memorial Day! Save 15% on all handbags this weekend including custom orders using Coupon Code: MEMORIAL during checkout! I'm looking forward to making you something real special!!
In case you missed it.....here is one of my recent projects that has instantly become one of my ABSOLUTE favorites! I custom stained this animal print on the Mini Corners and it was a HIT!!!
Oh yeah! The bag that I am styling in these pictures is really special to me as the fabric was a gift from a VERY good friend of mine. She brought it back with her from a recent trip she made back home in Kenya. I INSTANTLY fell in love and so have a lot of the Button Family online. I decided to do a giveaway for this bag to share my LOVE. If you would like to participate to win this bag just log onto my FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM page and share the giveway post for a chance to win and be sure to tag me "@thegreybutton" so your entry will be included! Good luck!!
host a show!
Last year I was blessed to be able to travel with THE GREY BUTTON to several cities and share my work. I enjoyed every bit of it! This year I would love to revisit those same cities as well as visit some new ones. If you would like to host a pop-up shop/bag party in MARYLAND or Southern CALIFORNIA, please let me know! This is the year of expansion and I'm going to need your help! Contact me here and let's talk!
