Zippy the Turkey

Good morning all,
A while back I decided it would be appropriate to make store decor from torn out zippers. We started out with Zippy the Chimp

and next came Zippy the Mummy

and now we have Zippy the Turkey!

A Blessed Thanksgiving to everyone and don't forget our event and sale November 23rd and 24th at Arnst Zipper Studio 923 Michigan Ave. 10-2. There will be refreshments and a demonstration by Kim Kuehl on flower arranging for the holidays. Items for sale include wool mittens and pins, zipper apparel, purses, T-shirts, holiday decor and so much more! Happy, happy week and Go Pack!

What is a T-shirt Skirt?

Good morning all,
The winner is...Arnst Zipper Studio! A $100 check was cut and dropped off at the Salvation Army this past Monday. Thanks to all who participated!

I'm not sure how the sale went yesterday at South High School, but one of the new items for sale are T-shirt skirts. Margaret (seamstress at Arnst) saw some at a craft fair and thought they were really cute. I mentioned it to the girls in my classes yesterday and there seemed to be quite an interest. We'll try them out in the store and see how it goes. We have lots of other unique gifts perfect for Christmas, so come in soon before they are all gone! Happy, happy week!

Uncle Shebs and Greenpurse Join Forces

Good morning all,
Uncle Shebs and Greenpurse will be sharing a booth at the Stepping Out Vendor Fair November 10, 2012 fro 9:00-2:00 at the South HIgh School Commons, located at 3128 S. 12th St. Admission is $1.00 and a free raffle ticket with a non-perishable food time. Food donations go to the Salvation Army and Campus Life. There will be more than 40 vendors with handmade items, baked goods and raffles.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Halloween window contest by casting your vote or just enjoying the displays. We're already planning next years and hope to get more store fronts to participate. Drum roll... and the winner is...we don't know yet! An official count will be made this week and we'll visit the Salvation Army with our donation. So stay tuned! Happy, happy week and Go Pack!

Designer Bags Have Nothing On Me!

Good morning all,
Perhaps the title of my post this week is not entirely true. Designer bags do have one thing I don't and that's a hefty price tag. I also stand by my products and services! I can't tell you how many expensive designer labeled items I get in the store every week to be repaired and they are less than a year old. Greenpurse products don't last forever but they are well made and right here in the US! Friday I finally got my purse lines displayed and in the store for purchase. Four of my best selling purses and one new. The Sakk™. I'm madly working on another so I can claim the one pictured for my own! Very sturdy and the handle slides through a slit in the opposite side of the sack to close it. Custom bags also available, so stop by soon and check out all the cool stuff Arnst Zipper Studio carries. Happy, happy week and Go Aaron and company!

Perskinality

Good morning all,
Saturday October 27, 2012 Arnst Zipper Studio will be hosting an event entitled Perskinality. Mirjam Lippuner will be on hand to answer questions about Rodan + Fields and help you understand what your skin is telling you. (mine is yelling!) Please join Mirjam and me anytime between 10am and 2pm for snacks and tea + more information on Rodan + Fields and their products. Happy, happy week and Go Pack!

May the Best Window Win!

Good afternoon all,
I'm late in blogging today because I was out of town and do not have an iPhone, iPad, laptop or any other mobile device for getting on the super highway. Tomorrow the contest begins and I wish my friend lots of luck. We've got something big planned and informally pronounce ourselves the winners! Please be sure to stop by and check out both before deciding and remember all donations will be sent to our Sheboygan Salvation Army. Until next time, happy, happy week and go Pack!!!

Tie One On

Good morning all,
I did have a chance last Saturday to continue making a few bags from the Greenpurse line. My focus was on the Tie One On bags. Pictured is a small clutch and once I get to the messenger bag, I'll have enough in this line to display. I'm in the need for more old ties, so if you have any you'd like to donate I'm grateful. Remember, 10% of all sales of Greenpurse items is donated to a charity for abused children. I'll be sharing the total early January once payment has been made. It will be a record year I'm certain and I have you to thank! THANK YOU!!! Yesterday was spent creating props for the window contest so be sure to stay tuned for details, it is going to be fun! Happy, happy week and Go Pack!
