{Do you want 10% off PDX beanies…}

Posted under Uncategorized

If you send Nili, at PDX beanies, a “convo” letting  her know you about the Portland Beanie Company from Tracy Joy’s blog, she will give you a code to receive a 10% rebate on your order to use when she re-open!

Visit http://pdxbeanies.etsy.com
pdxbeanies

Right now, PDX is closed to catchup on orders (I can see why, I LOVER her products!). Personally, I have 3 of her beanies, and have purchased another 3+ as gifts!!! They are amazing quality, and superb for photography! Not to mention… great for the cold weather that is soon approaching!!!

What is a “convo”?  A convo is the way of communication through Etsy. If you dont have an Etsy account, or sadly have never heard of Etsy.. GO SIGN UP! It’s an amazing marketplace for handmade goods… and it’s how TJ Inc started!!!

Simply visit http://pdxbeanies.etsy.com and send Nili a convo through her shop, let her know you heard about her amazing products through Tracy Joy and recieve 10% off your next purchase!!!! CANT BEAT THAT!!! :)

HAVE FUN SHOPPING!!!!!

{found a few more “original” Joey bags!}

Posted under Uncategorized

So it looks like my business partner… aka mom, has been holding back on me! lol She had a few more  original Joey bags stashed, and has just finished sewing them up! 

There are ONLY 10 black LEFT!
& about 2-3  of the brown (I have to double check). 

So if you are looking for an original joey  at a huge discount… buy them now. They are for sale ONLY on my Etsy store http://tracyjoy.etsy.com  I will be listing them 3 at a time until they are sold out.

{Reese & Joey UPDATE}

Posted under Uncategorized

HI everyone!

First of all.. I do apologize for the extended wait on my new Reese & Joey bags.  Having a new product put into the works, and perfecting a pattern, all require time… and sometimes, more than anticipated.

The Good news, the new JOEY will be available in the next 3 weeks ! WHOOPPEEE!!!  Now, just hoping the next 3w go fast, lol

The Bad news… The Reese is going to take a little extra time. Due to the new style, the  new pattern, and again… PERFECTION being saut, we are pushing out date back into November :(   I know… I’m prob the person most excited about getting a Reese in my hand, lol. Not to mention… patience is not a virtue that I behold :) haha

Anyway, that is my new update.  Even though the dates have been longer than I anticipated… the wait will be worth it, I can promise you that :)   Your going to LOVELOVELOVE these new bags!!! Not to mention… a new little accessory that I have in the works… keep watching my blog!!!! :)

HUGS AND THANKS AS ALWAYS.  As I’ve said many times in the past… I have the most AMAZING client base, and I’m so blessed to have that wonderful support!
