Giveaway- It's a good thing I love you so much

Because my makeup bag is getting yucky and I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish I could win this! Pouting aside, you deserve it too.

It all started with this post | click here. It dropped into my blog reader and I thought Loulouthi? Loulouthi? That's flower in Greek!! I love flowers and have been trying for about 4 years to garden. Each year I get better. More to the point, my dad is Greek. Fresh off the boat in the 70s... I had to have this gorgeous fabric... had to have it in a P U R S E !! Of course I went straight to Etsy. There were some choices but the fabric was still very new. I researched a messenger style because it would make our upcoming trip easier. I found this shop | click here and my heart sighed.  Here she is:

This is the Curve Appeal with hidden front pockets | Click Here. The hidden pockets are amazing! I love having my hands free and not lugging around an ugly bulging heavy bag!

Stephanie is wonderful! She was able to deal with my indecisiveness on fabric placement and helpful in determining which bag suited our needs. One of the reasons I like doing giveaways on my blog is that I know many of you WANT to promote handmade, want to have one-of- a-kind but don't have time to shop all over Etsy finding the fair, reliable sellers. My hope is that by acquainting you with sellers I trust, you will be able to have fun as you shop with confidence and love what you buy. Steph is one of those sellers. She is helpful and her bags are beautifully sewn. Steph has a new baby boy and lives in Uniontown, Ohio. She says her designs are inspired by her needs and fabrics that she loves. Each bag is well constructed, pleasing and practical. After a trip to Miami where she spotted tons of cute bags that were way overpriced, she decided to open AKRESSories (Kress is her last name) and it's good for us she did. Stephanie and her family love to glide down Lake Erie in their sailboat ( cool or what?!). This Fall in addition to all different sizes and types of bags, AKRESSories will include burp clothes, bibs and other sweet baby things.
She is giving one of you lucky peeps this lovely little doozie:
