GIVEAWAY ~ Hand-sewn Hobo purse with goodies!

** Closed**
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!

To enter leave a comment and tell me what your favorite style of purse is??

For an additional entry follow me!
For more entries, blog about, tweet or facebook this giveaway!

I write all the entries out by hand so I will be sure to include you as many times as you should be tossed in! Good Luck!

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!!

Love 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!;)

Mrs Robinson said...

I 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.

I can't believe you would steal pictures off her website without her consent. The nerve.

Blog 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!

...still waiting for you to post the picture you took Saturday night...

cilla407 said...

I love any bag that holds my personal items and diapers for my 2 little ones.

Shanny said...

I would say my "style" of purse is "big enough to hold all my junk." And I am in need of a new one!

I love that fabric! My favorite kind of purse is one big enough to hold my junk plus a random assortment of kids junk :)

Our Family said...

For 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.

I 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.

This 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!!

my 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.
I love this hobo bag though! Much bigger and will hold everything!

Hall Family said...

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. :)

Hi, 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. :)

My 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!!
I 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!!

jennifer said...

My favorite types of bags are always the ones I can't afford, lol.
My 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.

Meagan and John said...

the 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.

Anyhow, 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.

sarahbeth04 said...

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!

Stephanie said...

Well, I guess my favorite kind of purse would be a "free" purse :) Enjoy your blog!
