The next show after Irvine will be in Costa Mesa at the Fair grounds (Bldg 10) for Sugar Plum. The dates of this show are Thursday - Saturday...June 11 - 13. For more information go to
Sugar Plum Festivals.


We have new and unique handbags for you to ogle over as well as cute hats and scarves for the summer.

Speaking of hats...we had a customer buy one of our hats a few winters ago and wore it to the top of the Swiss Alps. She wrote to us in a recent email "...bought one of your hats from the Utah Women boutique a couple winters ago. The last time I saw you I mentioned that your hat had made it all the way to the Matterhorn in Switzerland and you asked me to send you a photo. Here you go! I just love my hat and get compliments every time I wear it. Even in Switzerland!" She is on the right with the cute beanie.
Wow...can you imagine. Our creations are going all over the world.



Hope to see you on June 6th at Irvine. Be sure to check back soon for more information on Sugar Plum, June 11-13. Sugar Plum will be our last show for the Spring and we will be working all summer, creating more unique and exciting fashion handbags, hats, and scarves for the Fall and Winter shows.

Happy Holidays TO ALL...

Doreen and I would like to wish all of our customers and friends...a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year, 2009! We thank you for all the support and words of appreciation we have received throughout the year.

We finished our last boutique for the year on Friday, December 12th. This was a fund raiser for Welcome Home Ministries, Africa an orphanage in Jinja, Uganda, East Africa. To learn more about their ministry in helping the orphanage you can visit their website at Welcome Home Ministries, Africa. They also had a table of craft items made by the women of the village near the orphanage. The items were so unique and colorful.

This is the time of year when we need to help those less fortunate and to count our many blessings. Thank you to all that attended the boutique. You have extended a helping hand to those that will greatly benefit from your purchases and donations.

Merry Christmas...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Everyone...here it is the week of Thanksgiving and we want to say thank you to all of our supporters of our blog and boutiques.
We have been so blessed with meeting so many of you at our boutiques and being able to assist you in purchasing your Christmas gifts of unique handbags, fashion scarves, and hats of all types and colors. Thank you...Thank you.

This week is a rest week for us as far as boutiques go, but we are still knitting handbags, scarves, and hats to show you at the next boutiques the first week in December...just in time for those gift purchases. I just finished up a very nice black handbag that has some sparkle to it with our great leather handles. Will be starting a hat to match this handbag so you can have a great look for this holiday season.

We will be at Sugar Plum December 4- 6th and I will be down in Coronado at Artisan's Alley Boutique on December 6th. This is our first time at Artisan's Alley in Coronado, so I hope to see many of you from that area. They are celebrating 36 years as a fundraiser to benefit their high school band and choir program.

Hi All...I can't believe that summer is almost over and school starts in a few days.

As the title states...we are back! After many starts and starts, our new web site store is finally up and running. It has been a long and arduous task but well worth the effort. We are so excited about the results and hope you will see the may improvements we have made. To view the the new web store go to store.pursetime4u.com.

We have also been busy knitting up a storm and have added many new items to the store for the Fall season.

We have a lot of boutiques this season, and we will be starting the season in October with four boutiques...and will be ending the middle of December with a total of eleven boutiques. I will be posting the dates on the blog as soon as they are all confirmed.

Debra's Cottage will be featuring us on their web site so take a look to see what goodies we have in the store. Most of the items we have at Debra's are not on our web site and are exclusive to Debra's.

It is nice to be back at a running pace...see you soon!
