"Purse-suit of Happiness"

...quilted handbags by local artisan, Virginia A. Beck.

These one-of-a-kind, handmade purses are pretty and practical (made of lovely fabrics, roomy inside with a good number of pockets) and make a thoughtful and unique gift...for yourself or for someone else...

As V.B. is fond of saying, "look out Vera Bradley", these bags just might give you a run for your money!

ABOUT US

Port Penn Peddler is a quaint shoppe and art gallery located on the picturesque Susquehanna River, off the beaten path, in Muncy Creek Towship (just 20 miles from Lewisburg and Williamsport, PA). We feature a selection of unique and eclectic pieces: artists' and artisans' handmade creations, Blue Q and Miche brand bags, fun and fine jewelry, gently-used clothing and books...and much more!

In addition, we host events (please see our events listing below), many of which are free to all. Events include arts and crafts classes, fitness classes, Miche brand bag Trunk Shows, and wine & cheese evenings.

Also, by shopping at Port Penn Peddler you will be supporting not only our local economy, artists, and artisans, but several charities...we've marked many items with a "DON" or "Donation" tag which means that we will donate 60% of the purchase price evenly between the ALS Association, Humane Society, and Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy.

Please visit our shoppe and gallery -- and this blogsite and Facebook page -- to experience everything that we have to offer!

...and while you're here, take some time to stroll through Muncy's lovely Heritage Park & Nature Trail which is adjacent to our property!
