That Clever Clementine Giveaway #2!

Ready for another giveaway??

As you may recall, my mom is selling bags on Etsy in her new business, That Clever Clementine. She's generously donated another awesome bag to give away on my blog.

This giveaway is for one of her Cindy Sue Cinch Sacks, and it's my favorite bag of hers so far!

Here it is from the outside...

And the equally cute (and functional) inside!

It's a handy dandy size at 12" wide x 15" tall x 4" deep. I think it would be particularly great for toting around a crafty project that requires little accessories, since there's two pouches inside, plus a hanging clip (which, in my humble opinion, would be totally perfect for a KnitPicks Emergency Fix Keychain!). I liked the fabrics on the giveaway one so much that she sent me one for my very own. Awww aren't moms great?

I'm currently carrying a knitting project in mine. My inside pockets contain a crochet hook, pencil, knitting pattern and retractable ruler. Here's a picture of it on the go at work with a vintage cardigan in the works. (No, I only wish I could knit at work, I just pulled it out for a phone photo, lol.)

Delightful, isn't it! One can be yours if you're the lucky winner!

That Clever Clementine Giveaway #1!

Today starts the first of my two upcoming giveaways, both sponsored by someone extra special to me: my mom!

My super crafty mom has recently started a new shop, selling fantastic bags on Etsy as That Clever Clementine. She combines interesting fabrics (often vintage or re-purposed) and makes a few styles of bags that are perfect for knitting projects, makeup, little baubles, you name it! Her descriptions and vignettes are creative and so much fun, too.

Here's how she describes her inspiration:

	My tastes are eclectic -- I am inspired by vintage and retro textiles, but equally smitten with cutting-edge contemporary design. From the whimsical and amusing to the "sensible and clever," I love combining new and repurposed materials in new (and quite possibly eccentric) ways! My motto is "so practical and SO fetching!" I don't think there's any such thing as "too many bags," "enough hats," or "too much paper ephemera." My feeling is that clever accessories and useful-but-delightfully-decorative items make each day richer and more fun. So I hope you'll enjoy the figments ... I mean "products" ... of my imagination.

So today kicks off two weeks of That Clever Clementine giveaways! Each week, one lucky reader will win an awesome bag, made by my own awesome mom!

This week's giveaway is for a bag specially designed for the Briar Rose Vintage Knit-Along that I hosted earlier this year. Except you don't have to have participated in the KAL, nor even have to be a knitter to enter!

The winner will get a Briar Rose Loopy Lulu Bag:

The bag is fully lined and interfaced (both sides shown, though the giveaway is for one bag), with enclosed seams, two sturdy inside pockets, a handy little hanging clip, and a nice long loop handle that feeds through a smaller loop so you can easily tote around your goodies. Laid flat the bag is 10" tall, 9" wide and the handle is about 9.5" long. Don't you love the contrasting prints with the main rose print?

Now for the important part!
