I am SO happy to be hosting this giveaway for a super lovely Etsy seller and friend!! Do you see that absolutely beautiful handmade handbag up there? It was made especially for YOU from an Etsy shop by the name of Elizabeth Gwen Originals!
Isn't it cute??!! It is a $52 bag, and Elizabeth Gwen Originals is GIVING that awesomeness away...totally FREE!!! Yaay for you!! Wouldn't that be a wonderful market tote? A sweet new diaper bag for the Fall? Or an everyday bag?! Here's a description of the handbag:
This yummy bag "is made of corduroy and beautiful cotton prints. The one that I used for the handles and center strip is an out of print, very hard to find print by Amy Butler. It is from the SunBloom line. Inside are 2 large corduroy pockets to help you stay organized."
Elizabeth Gwen is a work at home mom to 4 wonderful children ages 13, 12, 6, and 1. She absolutely loves to sew! She admittedly has a rather large collection of beautiful fabrics that are just waiting to turn into something super wonderful! She is open to custom orders -- so feel free to contact her anytime! In addition to handbags she also makes the greatest coupon holders and wristlets too. And for your girly girls she makes adorable twirl skirts and fun patchwork twirl dresses, too cute tutus, wands, lovely headbands, hair accessories and more!
