Tote Bags & Tenacity – Book by Debbie Palmer

Starting a handmade business at 60 probably isn’t in most people’s plan. It wasn’t in mine either.

Tote Bags & Tenacity is the honest story of how I built Watership Down Crafts from scratch, with no clue what I was doing and no budget to speak of. It covers everything from sewing meltdowns and late-night Google sessions to the small wins that slowly added up.

I wrote it for anyone trying to figure things out as they go — especially if you're building something creative and wondering if it's all worth it. It's also for people who like to follow a real-life journey, with all its ups, dips, and detours.

This isn’t a guide or a blueprint. It’s what really happened.
