Handbag Giveaway and Liebster Blog Award! CONTEST CLOSED


It's Autumn here in Australia, and although it is still warm and beachy - I miss spring time in Canada!  Easter doesn't have quite the same feel here.  Spring baby chicks and bunnies, eggs, tulips and spring flowers, just don't have any meaning here.  There are no tulips or spring babies of any kind at this time of year, and the plants and flowers are busy getting ready for winter!  

Missing spring, as well as desperately needing to thin my entire household inventory in preparation for moving, has got me thinking that it's time to just start giving some things away.  I think this little handbag, made with Amy Butler's Flower Couture, would be perfect to give anyone a "Spring" in their step, and get you all ready for summer (or winter) at the same time!  This is one of the very popular "Phoebe Bags" designed by Rebekah Lambert and handmade by me.  Do you want it?  I will mail it to YOU! (see more photos at the end of the post!) 

To enter the giveaway, you just have to follow my blog in some way, and comment below.  
ONE COMMENT FOR EACH WAY YOU FOLLOW!  SIMPLE!

1) Follow on GFC, Bloglovin, or Linky Friends = 1 Entry
2) Follow on Facebook = 1 Entry
  
A winner will be drawn via random.org in 1 week: 
 April 4th, Australia time.
GOODLUCK!!

  14. My house would be such a good l=place for your bag to live. I would be cared for, and loved, and fought over. I have four girls and I know each of them would say that bag should be theirs and not mine.
    I have you in my google reader.
