POSH Handbags

Posh? was founded by owner & designer Tori Alvarado in the Spring of 2002. Tori was a creative-child and has always had a flair for Fashion. Even as a little girl she always seemed to have a knack for handbags & the idea of creating something unique & stylish that was very much her own.
Growing up Tori was heavily influenced by both her Mother & her Grandmother.
Designing was a family trait and always highly encouraged.After working six years in Corporate America in the Computer Industry Tori resigned from her corporate job to stay home with her new baby.

While adjusting to Motherhood, she started putting her handbag designs to paper & decided to start a business that she truly loved based on her creative ideas. She had a real passion for doing something hands on and knew it was time to turn her designs into reality.
Reality for Tori is purses!More recently, Tori collaborated with artist & friend SHANO to create a line of unique limited edition bags. Posh? now carries several handbags & cosmetic bags that feature the art of SHANO. These wearable works of art are truly unique and a rare find to be collected and treasured.Posh? designs are simply fabulous because they appeal to all women!
Because Tori loves fabric, the collection is always evolving & changing.

Posh? can be found in specialty Boutiques and select stores around the Country.
Please visit Posh? often as you never know when they will design a Purse just for you!.

Winter Gardening

Ok, the title " winter gardening "might be a tad bit misleading. I am not suggesting that you actually garden during the winter but you should be using this time to plan your upcoming garden. As you look out at your yard and garden area during the cold months of winter, let your thoughts run wild and you will be amazed at what images you can conjure up. You might even want to try some of your new found ideas this spring!

  1. Pour through garden catalogs, flip the pages and fold down the corner anytime you find something you like. Go back to it often until you decide what new plants and flowers you would like to try this spring.
  2. Purchase a gardening book or magazine.

    Look at what other people are trying in their gardens and see if their ideas inspire you to try something new.

  3. Look out your windows and try to visualize how you would like your yard and garden to look like. Study the sun....notice the shady spots.
