Maggie Bags Helps save the Environment

How would you like to know that your purchased a handbag that helped the environment? I bet you would feel pretty good, I know  I would and have. Well if you purchased a Maggie Bag you would helping our planet. Maggie makes handbags out of seatbelt webbing that would be used in our cars. Some webbing may not meet the standard or colors that would be classified for some of automobiles. However instead of throwing away the webbing, beautiful handbags have been designed. Maggie Bags are weaved in a durable criss cross style, in Totes, Messenger bags, Hobo's, Wallets, Keychains, and Belts. Such an impact that Martha Stewart mentions in her Whole Living Magazine. Mary Lou's Boutique will now offer Maggie Bag at www.Marylousboutique.com. QVC also offered Maggie Bags last month, and was such a hit that most of Maggie Messenger Bags sold out and popular colors will not be available until  June. Please take a look at Maggie Bags at my webstore www.Marylousboutique.com.

L & M Soy Candles

Mary Lou's Boutique will now offer Soy Candles, each hand poured by Mary Lou and are named L & M Soy Candles. L for my husband Larry and M for yours truly.  Both Larry and I love to burn beautifully scented candles.  When I had my Boutique in Visalia I sold candles that were made by a woman who hand poured wonderfully scented candles and have not found that quality since-not even with the most popular candles on the market today. So I decided to make my own candles! After lengthy research I have found the right Soy Blend Wax and just the right fragrances that make a wonderful candle.  I now hand pour each candle and will soon offer on my webstore: www.marylousboutique.com; In 16 oz, 12 oz, &8 oz candles.

Shiraliah and Saltbox Handbags are now featured at Mary Lou's Boutique

Mary Lou's Boutique has just added some beautiful handbags  by Saltbox and Shiraleah.
I am so happy to add Animal Friendly Companies to my online Boutique. I love the fact that the companies I am looking at are not only animal friendly but are
involved in environmental issues as well. Here is some information about these two companies.

Saltbox is a Manhattan-based design studio known for its creations in canvas -- a humble material brought to new heights through fine design. Founded by Nicole Scheinholz over a decade ago, the company made the unlikely transition to bags from luxury shower curtains. Being a typical New Yorker who shouldered her daily haul, Nicole created a tote for herself with one of her more popular curtain prints so she could lug in style. The bag was a huge hit, igniting a personal passion for bag and accessory design and signaling a new direction for the company.
Regularly featured in magazines such as People, Coastal Living, InStyle Weddings and Country Living, the collection is renown for its classic patterns and gorgeous vibrant colors. Saltbox pieces tell a story as they wear -- the canvas softens like a favorite pair of jeans, exuding laid-back style while remaining sturdy and supremely functional.
Heavy gauge canvas, treated to be water resistant, makes each piece perfect for year-round use. Inspired by travel, history, nature and architecture, the prints and color palettes are graphic, yet imminently wearable. Key features give each shape its unique look. Some have extra snaps and pockets, others convertible and removable shoulder straps. Versatility is vital.

At Shiraleah, we are committed to environmentally  and socially responsible fashion accessories, gifts and home products in unique styles that consumers love. We design our own products and work directly with local artisans and producers to assure quality and workmanship. Our goal is to combine renewable natural resources, reclaimed materials, environmentally friendly technologies and traditional techniques to produce home and fashion goods that show we care.

Shiraleah does more than talk about social responsibility - we seek out causes and take action. Recently, we started donating 3% of all purchases of our luxury fabric handbag collection to a center for disabled children in Hanoi, Vietnam. Our funds target improving the children's diets and healthcare options, including supplementing the daily food budget and purchasing rehabilitation machines.

Shiraleah believes in blending style with socially and environmentally responsible behaviors. Throughout our catalog, we bring you compelling background stories on each product line. In the end, however, we know what really attracts customers is the distinctive fashion statements made by our products, from purses and jewelry to tableware and furniture.

Mary Lou's Boutique is very excited to offer both Saltbox and Shiraleah Handbags.

It is that wonderful time of the year! When we start preparing our shopping list for Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas! As the years have gone by and my children are grown and of course I have grown as well. Thanksgiving and Christmas has a whole new meaning to me. I love being with my family and being among people that I love. Now, I no longer panic the day after Thanksgiving if I can manage to full fill the requests on my 3 Son's Christmas lists; (and yes there would be lists) I remember I would hope and pray that I can get to the Department Stores before they ran out of that popular game or toy Whew! Now I count my Blessings and thank the Lord for what I have. I love to prepare Thanksgiving Dinner and see the looks of full satisfaction on my Husband and son's faces's ~when they can't seem to take another bite...but wait there is always room for dessert. After all the dishes are washed and put away I sigh... well it is time start Christmas Shopping and Baking....I love this time of the year! Christmas has a whole new meaning to me to, and I will let you know about that on my December Blog.
