The First Ever Pink Evita Purse Party

It was a smashing success. I could hardly believe 12 ladies came to the open house style party and I sold 10 bags. I've been scurrying here and dragging the baby there to 4 different vendors all week to make sure I had all the materials needed to fill the orders.

A few people chose to purchase bags already made up that they could see completed at the party. Whew what a relief...because making 6 bags this week was enough for this full time momma, part time production manager of the sewing room.

It was a complete hoot to watch several women congregate around a kitchen table with one little order form in one hand and a pen in the other. I ended up dodging fabric swatches and trim samples as they were flung from one side of the room to another. I hunted and gathered that all too elusive black suede swatch that seemed to match everything. (Will bring more black swatches to the next party.)

I am eternally grateful it went well and have had big fun filling orders this week. Next up on the Pink Evita Design Your Own road show....September 16th.

Could Pink Evita do a Road Show in NJ? I am working hard to get all my friends as hopelessly hooked as I already am!
The new bags are stunners and I'm having a very hard time choosing a fabric for the messenger bag.
