Entrepreneur ‘Brags’ About Her Portable Photo Albums
Bridgeton resident Mary Nelson, a kitchen-table entrepreneur, has developed a new line of photo brag books, picture frames and more, all “handcrafted in the USA by Very Mary Designs,” the company she started with her husband, Carl.
Nelson’s wares, which will be on sale at the upcoming Gypsy Caravan, have colorful cloth covers, ribbon-tie closures, accordion-folded pages and slots for 10 photos, either 4-by-6 inches or 2½-by-3½ inches.
Unlike some other brag books, the Nelson model is very slim, measuring about one-quarter inch thick when closed. The covers feature fanciful designs in a variety of colors and textures. The fabric array resembles the rooms in the Nelson’s home, each painted a vivid color.

I really like the brag books! I have 4 kids! I’m getting ready to homeschool the older two that are going to both be in Junior High. My younger two are not in school yet but will attend regular elementary school until Junior High. I always make my own pictures, instead of buying school pictures. Something like this would be awesome to have for each of my children. Thank you so much for sharing your invention! Kelly healthvites.com and gotosolidrockk.com
