A Look Inside Haute Handbags...and Another Giveaway

I hope you are not getting tired of the chance to win something from me.

I believe in spreading good things around the internet.

And who does not love a chance to win something?

What's in it for me?

I feel good about sharing a publication that I adore.

I get to brag just a little.

I get to feel great that I am giving you a chance to see the issue for yourself. 

 So, I get a lot too.

Have you ever looked at Haute Handbags?

It has been one of my favorites for years.

It has a great combination of artistic bags.  

They range from purchased bags that are altered in some way to bags completely created from scratch.

The materials they are created from will have to reassessing everything for potential handbag usage...

Karen Valentine has such a sweet style. 

 It totally appeals to me.

I would so carry this bag....

Chantal Johnson made this, and another gorgeous bag.

Jana Holland transformed a vintage bag into this piece of art...

Colleen Davis takes knitting to a whole new level and truly elevates it to an art form.

How gorgeous is this?

There are some beautiful bags incorporating  vintage laces and doilies from Grace Bachmann.

And then there are those pieces that are just perfect.

Where someone takes something simple and utilitarian and turns it into art.

Bo does that with these painted change purses.

I love Sarah LoCascio's shopping bag...

She actually has me thinking of a few new ideas myself...

And then there is this little needle felted owl bag.

This one is mine.

I made to enter in the fair.

It was a fun little bag to make.

It is fun to carry too.

So, on with the giveaway.

This giveaway is open to continental U.S. residents.

For a chance to win, tell me in the comments about your favorite handbag.

I always love hearing your stories...

I will choose a winner Sunday. 

 Good Luck!

Linking up with these great blogs...

Thanks for stopping by...

Haute Handbag magazine...

My contributor's copy of Haute Handbags is here.

Have you seen it yet?

They have a new editor... Natalie Way.

She is doing a great job and definitely hit the ground running.

My "I Felt Something Wool Bags" are in it...

I love when you get a byline...

These bags are so easy to make and so much fun.

I love felting wool because you never know exactly how it will turn out....

These turned out great.

The handles are all built right into the bag.

I love the wool rope tie...

Once I looked at the magazine, I decided to use one when I switch to my winter bag.

I made this one when I made the other two.

It is actually my favorite of the three.

The only disadvantage is that it has short handles.

I love a cross-body bag best...

I love to be hands free.

But this will be wooly and warm and fun when the snowflakes start to fly...

The other two will end up in my Etsy shop.
