    Pamela Farnsworth started with her first stitches when she was four years old and credits a patient mom as the beginning of her lifelong passion for sewing, textiles, colors and fabric. Her talents were the hit of her family through the years and led to work as a designer of textile items. It was one of those handmade gifts several years ago that led to yet another twist and opened up a new avenue of creativity for the local designer. “I made one of my daughters a handbag for her birthday,” shared Addison designer Pamela Farnsworth. “Several people saw her handbag and suggested I continue to make more handbags and sell them on line. As the business grows I add not only new bags but accessories like wallets, checkbook covers, cell phone cases, eyeglass cases and ad calendar covers to meet the needs of the customers and myself.”

    People can see Mrs. Farnsworth’s work in person at the Art on Main Gallery in Bristol, Vermont or online at Farnsworthhandbags.com. She can be reached

    After receiving some of her products as gifts for the holidays, this reporter was delighted to explore the wide variety of sizes, shapes and designs available and the wonderful vintage buttons on her bags. As any woman knows, the handbag is as unique as the person who carries it. While some can carry the kitchen sink or all the essentials the day might need, some favor a minimalist approach and only want a wallet or fanny pack size. Whatever your needs, wants or visions there are wonderful treasures to see at Farnsworthhandbags.com. Locally crafted and uniquely designed, each is a work of art and at the same time wonderfully functional in our modern and busy world.
