Purse-Suit Designs...what is behind the name.


Several people have asked me how I came up with the name for Purse-Suit designs. It is a simple story. I was wrestling with the idea of a name for my handbags and so I asked another family member for their opinion. Keep in mind that I am the only female in my family. I was blessed with four beautiful sons and four even more beautiful grandsons...what are the odds. I did finally get a step granddaughter...if we can't make them ourselves; we will bring them in from the outside :) Anyway, I digress. Being the only female in my family forces me to ask the men in my family for opinions that would be better suited for a female. But hey, you do what you have to do when you have to do it. So I asked one of the many male gendered people in my home..."What do you think I should call the purse business. He looked up from the hunting/fishing program that I was so rudely interrupting and said "Pursuit". Temporarily forgetting that men do not multi task well, I trusted his answer. I though about it and came to the conclusion that it worked. Pursuit of God, pursuit of happiness, pursuit of many things all came to mind. So I gave it a little word play...Purse-Suit and came up with Purse-Suit Designs. Not until about a year later did I have an eye opener. I walked in to the family room to the same person watching the same show and the announcer came on and welcomed everyone to the "Pursuit hunting program". I could have spit nails. I honestly thought that careful consideration had been given to the suggestion, when in reality it was the first thing that popped into his head while watching the show. Isn't it funny how God works. The name that was created as a thoughtless action turned out to be the perfect name for a purse business pursuing it's place in the world. Man may decide his foot steps; but God always directs his path!

nature's inspiration



I went for a walk this morning down at the Ha Ha Tonka state park. Not to be confused with Tonka Drive (NO HA HA); sorry inside joke. As I was walking along I almost walked past a bull frog camouflaged in his own natural surroundings. He was very patient with me as I took a million pictures of him. Of course as with any photography, only one turned out to be a jaw dropping beautiful picture. I sat and looked at the photo when I got home and thought to myself about how beautiful the colors in that natural setting were. Yay God! He never ceases to amaze me. I am trying to figure out a way to bring those beautiful colors into a designer handbag by Purse-Suit Designs. The Browns and Greens in shades all the way from the very dark to the very bright all in one purse. I am so glad that I serve a God who has a painter's pallet larger than anything I could ever come up with.

Optimizing the web site


I just spent two days optimizing my web site. I have taken a class on how to create a web presence. It was very interesting. I have worked on meta tags, Photo descriptions, the photos, etc. I have submitted my site to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. It was much more time consuming than I could have ever imagined. I am now going to make a video for youtube. I would appreciate it if people would try searching for my sight through these places to see how accessible my web site is. Give me feedback. It is always appreciated.



Be Blessed
