{new Charming Gus wallet + a contest!}

My MOH {maid of honor} visited me a few weeks ago and she came bearing gifts. One gift was a bottle of wine {woo-hoo!}, another gift was two cuts of fabric {BIG woo-hoo!}. I loved everything. Oh, and she also brought a handful of super cute buttons.

Gussy hearts buttons, if you didn’t already know that ;)

PS. Look at all my GUSSY tags. Oh, I heart them sooooooo much!
Alright, back to the drawing board.

What does that even mean?

I think it means, Get back to work, Gus! or maybe even, Stay on task, Gus!

Sheesh.

You guys are a tough crowd to sell.

{Why do I always have conversations with myself on here…?}

Alright. I was talking about fabric and buttons from my MOH. I have been staring at this one particular print for ages now {I mean weeks} and finally decided to play around with it. I cut pieces for a Lovely Gus clutch {still needs to be sewn together} and whipped up a new Charming Gus wallet. Check the wallet out below. I love it. And the textured button ;)

Charming Gus — Nature Wallet





*********************

Just for fun:

Charming Gus — wallet without ruffles

Ruffle Gus — wallet with ruffles

Mini-Gus — coin purse. most likely has ruffles

Lovely Gus — clutch

Gussy’d Up — make-up bag

GUSSY bag — large {or slightly smaller} purse

Sassy Gus — just kidding. this doesn’t exist. yet…

Here is where I need help from all of you :)
I have designed a work/laptop bag and need to give it a name. Please leave a comment if you think of something that will flow with the theme of my Etsy shop.

Here is a sample of one:


Maybe I’ll do something extra fun, like whoever comes up with the best name for my work bags will receive 20% off anything in my shop. Will that twist your creative minds?!?!

Consider this my first contest.

Ready, set, go!

*********************

In conclusion {haha… when does Gussy ever conclude?!?!},

Need a custom order? Need multiples of something? Want something?!?!

Give me a shout-out — I’ll sew you a custom order :)
