This hand-sewn purse was designed and sewn by a woman who 's shop I found on etsy late one night. I think I have only been on etsy between the hours of 12am and 5am. I am totally addicted though. I can't start looking and not buy something, it is a sickness!
I feel in love with this purse and it's hippy style!
She really is a talented seamstress, the sewing is superb.
The shop is called LBArtworks
This is a wonderful hobo bag that is made with a designer fabric by Heather Ross. The name given to the fabric is "Lightning Bugs and other Mysteries". 
The bag measures 19" by 16" and contains a very large inner pocket for all those things that generally end up in the bottom of the purse. From the top of the handle to the bottom of the purse, it measures 26". It has a belt of leatherette for a playful touch.
"Everything has been double sewn and the stress areas have triple stitching."
I thought I would add some goodies to go with this bag. I am sure you will recognize some recent deals :) I have a few more things to throw in, I need to gather it all up. Have you tried the new vibrating mascara? I am tossing some of that in...
Go take a look at LB ARTWORKS, she had no idea I was doing a giveaway with one of her items I purchased until a few hours ago, she was really nice about me stealing a few of her pictures and bragging about her work!

Love this bag!! I am known for using the same purse over and over until my sister gives one of her very NICE and VERY gently used ones. She only uses hers for a few weeks and when I visit will ask me if I need one!!

ReplyDeleteLove the Hobo bags because,as you well know, when you have five kids you need a bag that will hold everything plus the kitchen sink!;)
ReplyDeleteI like a purse that can hold my stuff as well as all of my husband's and my sons'. Sometimes I think they have more things in it than I do.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite kind of bad is the kind that can hold lots of stuff and has several pockets! Love that purse so cute!
ReplyDeleteWell...currently my favorite style of purse is a diaper bag. So wouldn't it be nice to have a real purse!!! Thanks for your consideration!
ReplyDeleteI use a shoulderbag type canvas bag

ReplyDeleteMy favorite purse style is the hobo. Love this purse and going to check out her other styles. Also am a follower. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you would steal pictures off her website without her consent. The nerve.
ReplyDeleteBlog with integrity, you lady!
Example of a woman who has no scruples: She stole two pictures of another woman's child and a picture of her storefront, The Silver Cottage, THEN she offered a deal through her website without even asking!

ReplyDeleteI love to be entered in this giveaway. I like this kind of purses.
ReplyDeleteI love a purse or bag that is big enough for everything yet still cute!

ReplyDeleteThis bag is fabulous! I'm a fan of the hobo bag. Bought one on clearance at Target for $3.24 a few months ago, and its all I've used since!
ReplyDeleteThis purse is so cute! I use mine until they fall apart--so a new one would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love this bag! I basically use anything big that I can fit all of my assorted junk in! With four kids, I need a large bag! Thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteI love any bag that holds my personal items and diapers for my 2 little ones.
ReplyDeleteI would say my "style" of purse is "big enough to hold all my junk." And I am in need of a new one!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite purse is one that is large enough to get me through the day without a diaper bag and can also be carried hands free!

ReplyDeleteI love this bag! My favorite "purse" is currently a backpack/diaper bag. Very hip and trendy. I really should add to my collection...
ReplyDeleteI love this bag! I also love messenger bags so I don't have to adjust my purse while chasing my two kids. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm also an etsy addict. If I can buy something handmade vs. from Target, it's handmade hands down!
I have got to win something at some point-like that vibrating mascara.
ReplyDeleteI follow, I facebook, I follow on Twitter... I should get 5 entries!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute bag! I love a good hobo style bag. I'm what you might call a little purse obsessed! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric! My favorite kind of purse is one big enough to hold my junk plus a random assortment of kids junk :)
ReplyDeleteFor everyday I love large bags that hold a lot! A must have with small kids. I find that now on date night with my husband, I go the extreme opposite- the smallest of small clutches. Best of both worlds.
ReplyDeleteI follow you!
ReplyDeletePerfect! That is just the purse I need! I always look for the over-the-shoulder kind to keep my hands free to care for my five little kiddos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!

ReplyDeleteI love the Woodland Line Small Pleaseures bag. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI like the hippie shick hobbo bag. I've tried on MANY occassions to use a smaller purse but it only overflows with too much. My tried and true type of purse is a larger one that can be doubled as a diaper bag.
ReplyDeletemaria_arizola@yahoo.com
I believe the style of bag I have now and love is called a satchel.
ReplyDeleteI love the Winds and Cool Breezes bag. I'm not one to have a particular style, other than what's practical. These handmade bags are beautiful.

I love any bag that has a shoulder strap...I carry a lot of junk so I need all the support I can get!
ReplyDeleteI love the Hobo style!
ReplyDeleteI and am digging the clutch right now, I found one in this amazing turquoise color for 0.75 from the thrift and am adding an attachable ruffle band on the front to dress it up.

ReplyDeleteThis purse would fit everything that I like to carry having three littles. I surfed her site and like the Patches of Autumn bag( all of her bags/purses sound neat!). I like the color and it sound like a nice purse!!

ReplyDeletemy favorite purse is this small red leather one that my co-workers gave me as a going away present a few years ago when I left the job.
ReplyDeleteI love this hobo bag though! Much bigger and will hold everything!
I am between purses right now. My first purse was small...small enough to hold my wallet. My husband went on business to the UK and brought me back a new wallet...which was too big for my small purse. I have now moved into my new wallet, but for a lack of purse, carry around a pink striped beach bag, because I have nothing else at present. I don't do a lot of purse shopping. Too many choices and well, I fear I may pick a purse that I will never live down...but then again...any purse would be better than a bright pink striped beach bag that only holds my wallet, chapstick, keys and phone. :) Needless to say, I have no style...I think it's evident. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Birds of a Feather. The colors are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteHi, I love any purse that doesn't fall off my shoulder as I chase after my 2 yr old triplets, is big enough to carry snacks to feed a small army, has seperate pockets or sections so I can reach in blindly and get my cell phone before my husband hangs up and a purse that is NOT a hand me down from my 75 year old mom like the one I have now. :)

ReplyDeleteHer bags on which she adds & appliques things are my favorite, such as the leafy bags, & the Ice Crystal bag with the crochet/lace outer layer. She's creative.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite handbag right now is my paisley print Kate Spade knock off my daughter gave me. She was sick of seeing me use the same one for years!!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I do like the layers of leaves bag so I might just have to give a little hint of a Christmas wish to my family!!
Thanks for the chance!!
My favorite purse style is anything by Coach (thanks for the 20% off coupon!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite style of purse is the Hobo bag. I can toss just about anything in there and not only does it fit. But the bag still looks stylish!

ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of KVZ bags!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest!
My favorite purse is anything BIG! I put way more in my purse than I should!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite types of bags are always the ones I can't afford, lol.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite at the moment that I do use is a big canvas shoulder bag and everything gets shoved into it. It is like lugging a suitcase around with me but somehow I think I just have to have everything that is in it.
My favorite style is a hobo bag. Thanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteMy fav. purse is also my most sturdy one to hold my 5 kids' things........you know what I'm talking about! :)
ReplyDeleteRight now, I'm using a small back pack. I need my hands free while out&about to hang on to my toddler ! But I'd luv to upgrade to a Hobo :)

ReplyDeleteOmigosh! All the bags are truly a work of art and I'm seeing them as such. But I gotta say the one that brings the biggest smile to my countenance is the Textured Gray Shoulder Bag. Many kuddos to the artist!
ReplyDeleteMine would be the one you are giving away - I love the color and you can't go wrong with a hobo bag!
ReplyDeleteI subscribed by e-mail!
ReplyDeleteI love the design and color pallette of this bag!-I also posted on facebook and my blog about your giveaway!
ReplyDeletea huge one to hold mine and my kids stuff.
ReplyDeletei have yet to find a bag that i can find stuff in. It has to be large enough to hold all my stuff and the kids junk but not turn into a bottomless pit. Any ideas?
ReplyDeletei have yet to find a bag that i can find stuff in. It has to be large enough to hold all my stuff and the kids junk but not turn into a bottomless pit. Any ideas?
ReplyDeletethe other day we went to church to return home and discover that our dog/puppy had eaten the bag my husband got me for my birthday--he was so proud he found me the "perfect" bag, it had pockets to organize everything and was going to have room for 2 bottles of water--well you can tell a man picked it out cause all it had room for was 2 bottles of water, I kept trying to make it work but couldn't, which is why I wasn't using it when the dog ate it, but I was still devastated that the dog ate it, cause that meant we couldn't return it when I found where my husband bought it for me.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I am not picky about purses (unless I have to spend money on them) I just need one that can hold all my stuff--I watch a bunch of 2 year olds and although I don't drive (medical reasons) I do take them to quite a lot of places and when you have 3 or more 2 yr olds you don't want to have to carry a bunch diaper bags, so I need a purse that can hold my wallet, a couple bottle water for me (the water here tastes like dirt) a few sippy cups for the kiddos, pads (just incase) diapers and wipes, treats, a few small toys, anti inch creams (for bug bites), crayons, you know, it actually suprises me how much can fit in my normal size purse--but I always seem to be amply prepared for whatever life throws my way--only problem is my husband is constantly nagging me about my purse not being zipped, he keeps telling me someone is going to steal something or it will fall out--which is why he got me the new bag the dog ate.
Either way, I would really love this bag, I think not only will it be able to hold all my "mommy" stuff but that it will also be able to be closed and heaven knows with 3 kids that are 2 (not to mention my 4 yr old) I could really use that stuff that comes with it--specially that magic eraser, I just noticed today that someone got their hands on a perment marker and felt inspired to decorate not only the white side of my portable dishwasher, but also a few things in the kids room--gotto love those little artists. I usually don't enter these things mainly cause I use to and never won so I figured why waste my time, but being that money is tight and I am desperate right now I figured I would cross my fingers and give it a shot (who knows, I paid my tithe, I might have a chance.)
thanks for reading and sorry this is so long.
I follow you and I heart your blog!

My favorite style of purse is the tone that's the "just right" size, big enough to fit all the essentials, but not HUGE! :) I don't want to look like a crazy bag lady ya know? :) This one looks about perfect!
ReplyDeleteda_angel_321@yahoo.com
I like a purse that I can just throw all of my stuff in and not worry about it, but there's got to be a place to stash my keys. Otherwise, I'm stuck in the garage for 15 minutes while trying to find it in the dark!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess my favorite kind of purse would be a "free" purse :) Enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat is a purse? I have been using a diaper bag for so long I am not sure I would know what to do with a purse.
ReplyDeleteI haven't carried a purse since my daughter was born, but this would be one that I would carry!
