Hello There,
Well, as promised, I am back with the Freebie Friday Giveaway that was meant for last Friday. Between motherly duties, gardening and getting ready for Leah's party, plus all sorts of business stuff, the end of last week just went by in a flash. So, to make up for missing one week, I will give away 2 of these fabulous tote bags! The tote was premade and I simply embellished it. I needed some quick shopping totes, and wanted organic cotton. I found these on the cheap, so bought a bunch and decided to simply embellish them with some vintage mother of pearl buttons and scraps from one of my favorite 100% organic cotton fabrics from the fabulous Harmony Art collection (by the way, I have a Harmony Art fabric giveaway coming up soon...so look out for that!).
So here is the tote....filled up with groceries and flowers. Added edit*******Post your comments here and/or join my mailing list (see right sidebar) by Thursday evening to have your entry count. I'll draw the winners and announce them here on the blog on Friday.
And here it is up close.
The tote bag measures 16 inches tall by 15 inches wide by 6 inches deep.
I will remake 2 of these for 2 lucky winners. So if you are interested in entering to win this bag, please leave a comment here. I'll use the random number generator to select two winners.
EDIT*******I had some questions, and yes...if you are on the mailing list you are automatically entered, as always. So if you leave a comment here as well, you get yourself 2 entries! If you are interested in joining the mailing list..see the right side bar..you can sign up there.
Before I go, can I share a quick picture of my girl? She wore this set to school yesterday and it was a huge hit. Remember, this is the set I made for my model/customer. She and Leah are great friends, and wore them yesterday...they had fun being all matchy-matchy. The sun was bright yesterday, so pardon the squints!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Talk soon,
Sheree
I love the fabric that you used for the flower! And the button really sets it off! I hope I am lucky enough to win one!

Sweet outfit for Leah! It's so fresh and pretty.
Lovely way to jazz up a plain shopping bag, Sheree. The applique looks great with the mother of pearl button accent.

Love the bag! What kind of stitch did you do the flower petals, both on the bag and your daughter's shirt? She's a cutie with her poses!
