Sven Handbags is love

When you buy a handbag that is made with the finest leather and attention to detail you are making an investment in handmade craftsmanship.

I found the Sven Handbag line last year and the second my hand touched the red tote bag (my favorite color) I was sold.

“Our aim is simply to make objects for daily living…

objects that by virtue of their use can somehow make

one’s day a little bit better.”

Sven Stalman, Founder

SVEN was founded in 1969 and is based in Northern California. They are superior in design, quality and functionality. The leather is so soft and luxurious you will be thrilled!

My week 3 of Valentine's savings is here! Enter coupon code "SVEN" at checkout and receive 30% off any leather handbag!

Hearts and Hugs to All!

Getting a Jump on Cupid

Valentine's Day is a month away!

(image)

I know some people can get grouchy this time of year but I love all the red, all the hearts and all the sugary hugs.

Petula Poppy will be having a series of special sales from now until Cupid arrives!

The first will be running this Friday-Monday and will feature one line I discovered last year and just love.

JOYO

Squares Cuff

I attend a HUGE trade show two times a year in Vegas. No, I do not just go there to play the slots. Although, I am very excited to play Goldfish. If you have never played that one check it out.

Anyways, I was wandering through a section called, "Pool" and saw ahead of me a sleek, SLEEK, modern laser cut wood cuff. I think I touched and admired every piece in her collection and I had so much trouble choosing which pieces to buy. I kept reminding myself, "budget, budget, you have a budget!"

Handmade with birch, walnut and aluminum. Each piece is a piece of art. She takes her inspiration from nature and man made structures. Very modern and clean jewelry that compliment all outfits.

So, stop by Petula Poppy this weekend and get a jump on Cupid!

Hearts to You,
Petula

Thank You 2013!

The year is winding down, I, literally, have hours left in my 2013. It has been such a joyous year!
I had dreamed of Petula Poppy for a while but she really got underway less than a year ago.

I worked very hard to get my online store up and running and I researched a lot of avenues to take. I am really happy with Volusion and the support I get there.

After all, we all need help with something. I know I could not have done it alone. I also appreciated the graphics help I got from my friend Siri. Check out her jewelry on Etsy.

I also had such a tremendously good time meeting and finding such creative artists. They are all so dedicated to their crafts and each piece I have chosen for Petulapoppy.com has passed my tests!

What are my tests?
1. Is the Artist honest about their item being "handmade." I remember when I met Elizabeth Ngo (the creator of the amazing vintage button jewelry, see one of her bracelets below) and I saw her hands and I saw not just the hard work she puts into her pieces but her love for her craft.

2. Is the item made in the US. - Some people think I cannot tell. Ha!

3. Is the item quality and created with integrity. I have yet to be unsatisfied with any of my artists. When you love what you do you love what you create.

4. Is the customer service good. I am a firm believer in GOOD customer service so I look for that in my artists as well. It reflects their sense of pride and again passion in their art.

I am also so very thankful for my family and friends who supported me each and every step.

May 2014 be wonderful for you and yours,
Petula Poppy
