Sandra's Satchels

Hi and Happy Holidays!!  Hope you were on my mailing list! 

What a blunder I made....I have a mailing list of those who want to keep up with what's new with Sandra's Satchels.  It is very new, and I want to Update with Product Specials, Coupons, Contests, I'll be in your city etc.,.....So I sent an email -- the ONLY  link available was my Unsubscribe link -- Because I did not put http... the link I thought I had in the text was not available.....sooo, you might have guessed, ....you got it, I got a ridiculous number of unsubscribes..... a number of patient customers let me know they wanted to resubscribe, that they pushed the only link, thinking it would take them to my website --thank you so much to you who did.  One wonderful customer, sent me an email, saying I really want to stay subscribed!  And suggested I have a link to my website....

You really have to like Sandra's Satchels to put up with this and I'm sorry.  Because it is clear that many of you thought you were going to my website when you accidentally unsubscribed, I am going to send you an email allowing offering a way to Subscribe.  Thank you for your patience. 

Next I am going to attempt a death defying trick (folks don't try this at home).  I am going to try to put up a subscribe form that will put you on my mailing list if you so desire!!  Thank you muchly.

Happy Fall

The Laptop Sleeve has been on my radar for a year, and finally, due to an unscheduled forced rest (gallbladder problems and surgery), I had the headspace and inspiration to get it done. I am so excited to finally introduce this product. The ones at sandrassatchels.etsy.com are made in the MacBook Pro 13" and fit like a charm. I now have the formula and therefore you can custom order for your laptop measurements!

Also available and not yet shown on Etsy is a great zipper bag which will hold your cord, charger, mouse or whatever will fit in a 6" high, 10 1/4" wide zipper bag to match.

The fall weather feels so great and I'm back in action. Thanks to my great team at the market -- Ramona, Brigid, Abbey, Angelica and Wendy as well as Luci and Willeke (and the luxury of working from home in small spurts), we didn't miss a beat. Now catching up on some administrative backlog.

A Day at the Market



Friday, February 27th, 2009

Hi Everyone,

It was a lovely day at the market today -- the sun was shining and the atmosphere was lively.

Many of you who have my satchels were there today to fill in your collection or buy gifts for friends.

Be sure to watch for some new fabrics I have ordered and should show up on line in a few weeks.

Also remember, if you don't see what you want, whether it is a matching coin for that new handbag or something you saw at the market, you can email me at kevin.sandra@gmail.com, or order any bag in the size and price you want and simply attach a note "From the Buyer as to what you want -- It's as easy as that.

Hi, Thank you for stopping by!!

Hi Everyone!

I'm not sure what to do with this Blog so stick with me while I stumble my way through. First, I want to thank all of my Sandra's Satchels followers!! If you haven't checked out my website, please do at http://www.sandrassatchels.etsy.com

You can also find me at http://www.pikeplacemarket/craft.org

My little business has been at the Pike Place Market for over 8 years and in August, I began building my site on "etsy". What I love about Etsy is that it allows me to have direct contact with my customer -- no web host, no photographer, no programmer necessary. My service on the website is done in real time, just like it is across the table at the Market. You see, I'm a very "hands on" kinda person. One of my favorite things is building a relationship with the women and men who are my patrons. And since I sell my handcrafted handbag designs at the world famous "Pike Place Market" my customers come from all over the globe -- My etsy has given me a way to reunite with those who love my handbags and it sets up a communication link with pictures to maintain that relationship!!! I post the product, answer the emails, take the orders, fill the orders and ship them out. I love it.

You might see me, Brigid or Ramona when you visit the market.

I have over 26 different fabrics right now and you'll find 8 satchel sizes from the coin purse to the large with double outside pockets. I have some ideas for new pieces coming -- like a cell phone case and computer sleeves.

Well, that's it for this first post. I will learn as I go, as that has served me quite well in growing my business and I have found that I have many friends who are willing to support me in my efforts along the way! Thank you for that!! Just remember this, "You can never have too many purses".

Love you all,
Sandra
