It's Better to Give!

Dear Readers,

I thought about waiting until I reached 50 followers before hosting a giveaway.  But so many of my other blogging friends are hosting giveaways on their blogs (2 Bags Full and The Feathered Nest, just to name a couple) that I got so inspired and just couldn't wait.  41 is close enough to 50 anyway, right? :)

So here is what I made for you:

In pretty peacock blues and greens, this crocheted purse is approx 8" wide and 7" high (ish).  The strap is approx 2 feet long from purse edge to the top of the "curve", so it hits the average person around waist/upper hip level.  (I'm short, only 5'2", so it hits me mid-hip.)  It features a silver and crystal butterfly embellishment in the lower corner.


The butterfly is courtesy of my Aunt's random jewelry
findings that she gave to me a few months ago.

Yes, I am very short. :)


You may enter by commenting below.  You are allowed up to 3 entries.  I will have Miss Emily-bug help me draw a winning name on AUGUST 1ST.  Best of luck!

Oh, and I have been busy getting things cleaned up and ready for me to go back to Destin Beach for a few days next week, so you haven't missed Poetry Wednesday, Go Here Thursday or Frank Friday this week.  I plan to get those up by tomorrow at the very latest, just as soon as I get this mountain of laundry put away and my beach bag packed!

  10. Hi Jenny - you have created a beautiful purse to share with your friends! I'm here to show the love (!!!) but do not enter me in your fabulous contest. I think that lovely treasure should go to someone who does not knit as you and I LOVE to do. I will be back to say congrats to the LUCKY winner of this incredible purse. And - congrats on reaching 41 followers. (I can remember when I had only 3!!)

    You go girl!
