Not to be confused with.....

Yes,

this is the original 

"Not Yo Mommas Handbag".

It is a longer story than you would like to read,

but the "Reader's Digest Version" is;

My office/sewing room FLOODED

on February 27th, 2013.

It was awful.

It took months, just to get someone to 

start the clean up.

(Don't live in a condo)

(We are moving)

We dealt with 

wet carpet,

wet walls,

MOLD,

and 

an

ignorant HOA.

Needless to say,

this necessitated shutting down 

my Etsy shop,

"Not Yo Mommas Handbag".

In the intervening months,

several people have used my shop's name to 

start their own shop, blog, etc....

That's fine,

I hold no resentment,

as I know,

no, KNOW

that my 

handbag is the original

and

the 

cutest, by far.

In 2014,

I will re-open the shop,

and start making those

blue jean handbags once again.

This is why they are now called 

"Ellen's Not Yo Mommas Handbags"

so,

not to be confused with....

smiles!!!
