| Example of a leather bound book purse |
This week, we're bringing to you the small business: Gmajanisew. The name implies that a grandma is the owner behind this funky small business, but nope, it's a young woman named Maranda! Her name came from "the ridicule I received in school for wearing hippie style clothing, from the kids calling me 'Grandma' and my love for the music of Janis Joplin."
One of the things that stands out about her shop to me is the hardcover books turned into purses. As a book lover, I cringe (don't worry, she's also a book lover, so she's not doing this to spite all of us book nerds 
). As a fellow crafter, I think her creativity is genius and the work looks amazing! A lot of the products are everyday items that have be repurposed into fun, upcycled items. In addition to the book purses, there are book hooks, tie skirts and Scrabble tile jewelry. The creativity in this shop is endless!

Maranda was kind enough to offer up $10 in store credit to one lucky reader this weekend. The store credit is good for anything in her shop and expires on May 22, 2014 (this is 30 days after a winner was chosen).
