You may remember the decision I made a few months ago to stop selling my work; I felt that I was in a rut of making purse after purse, without enough room for creativity. So when I closed my little booth at the local store, I had some inventory left over; I wanted a few of the things for myself, but there are still a lot more goodies just sitting around. What should I do with them? Why not give them away to my readers?!
This is the first of what I intend to be monthly "surprise" giveaways. The surprise is that they will just show up randomly and unannounced. I won't publicize them anywhere, so only people who happen to read my blog in the two days that the giveaway is open will have a chance to win.
Since it has already started snowing in parts of the U.S., this wintery bag seems like the perfect one to give away this month!
Here are the details:
The front of this bag is reinforced quilting cotton; the back is blue canvas, and the lining is a wonderful upholstery fabric. I use a layer of heavy interfacing to give the bag enough body to stand up on its own. The front is accented with braided trim and my signature handmade clay heart.
14" wide at the top
10" wide at the bottom
10" tall
4" deep
12.5" drop to the straps
Features:
Back pocket (great for keys or cell phone)
Inner pocket (closes with velcro)
Zipper at the top (with suede zipper pull)
Lightweight yet very sturdy

My comment seems to have disappeared somewhere!! So I'll start again. This is such a pretty bag for winter. We don't usually get snow until January here and right now it is just grey and miserable. It is so kind of you to share your talents.
I hope this giveaway is for "everyone" :)
The bag is soooo beautiful!! love the snowflakes.
Thank you for the giveaway.

It's a lucky person who gets to walk around with one of your creations!
whoever wins this bag will be SO pleased!!
I am lucky enough to have one of Leslies' bags - it was a complete surprise and I was overwhelmed by her generosity. I LOVE using the bag, and have had so many people comment on it, which always makes me smile.
Please don't include me in the draw Leslie - not that I wouldn't love, and use, the snowy bag - but it would be unfair for me to have 2 of your wonderful creations, whilst others languish without :P
Leslie, your work is just wonderful. What an beautiful bag you are giving away.
