do you know that i *love* to collect anything rusted, faded, and worn...
this passion led to living my dream of owning an antique store...
even though i have a hard time sharing...
i wanted people to remember the past, to experience the stories that can be hidden within a piece...
in celebration of the 3 year anniversary of my brick and mortar store, the opening of my etsy shop and to kick off the opening of my website {more on this later on in the week} i've decided to share some fabulous prairie finds with giveaways all week long...
i know...that's a lot of prairie goods up for grabs...
so...
first giveaway comes to us from Ginny Mae of Handcrafted at Wit's End...
i know....
oh.my.divine....
ginny's designs have been a with me since the very first...
i *love* how each purse is one of a kind...
each one is handcrafted from antique feedsacks..
this girl has some of the most unbelievable feedsacks around...
this little beauty measures about 12" tall {with handles} and about 9" wide...
these purses are prairie girl tested and approved...
i just wish i wouldn't have let the robin's egg blue one with a rooster pulling an egg cart go...
sigh...
i know...i have nightmares about it...
i just hope the gal from france is *loving* it as much as this prairie girl did :0)
so...
to enter to win...
#1...leave a comment...
#2...become a follower {if you're already follower just let me know}..
#3...mention this little giveaway on your fabulous blogs {please leave me a link to your blog}
#4...twitter or facebook about it...
so that is 4 chances to win...please leave a seperate comment for each entry, i will be using random.org so each entry needs it's own entry?!?! {whatever...you know the drill} ;0)
the drawing will be held on wednesday 6:00 p.m. {mst} where i will announce the winner and the next giveaway...
{i'm still trying to work up the courage to let the next giveaway go...sigh...}
just so you know it is *fabulous*...
think barns and boys...
