Since the past two weeks have been a little quiet with the holidays taking up so much time, I’m rounding this last one out with my last giveaway. So my Friday Confession is on hold until next week.
This last one is from me – it’s just a thank you to the people who actually take time to read what I have to say.
The winner will have their choice of two bags. Both completely inappropriate for Winter. A summer bag (or a winter vacation bag). In colors that the more conservative shoppers would pass off as impractical. But how can anything be impractical if it’s free?
Here are the guilt-free impractical choices:
lime green bag with rose pink tie
additional black and lemon yellow ties that come with the lime green bag
These bags are 100% silk and make great shoulder bags when you need something lightweight and pretty but also want to carry a lot of stuff.
I’m not featuring an independent designer this time, so I’m not too concerned with promoting this post. But I’m happy to offer an additional chance to win if you let your friends know about it on your own blog or via Twitter or e-mail. Just let me know.
Leave any comment on this post. Anyone can win, even those of you who have won other giveaways. One comment per person (unless you pass this on and qualify for a second one). I’ll pick a winner a week from Sunday (January 11) at 9 p.m. EST.
Thanks again for reading! If you have a blog too, then you know exactly how much your support means to me.








Mother to three children (four if you count my husband), keeper of a moderately sane house, admirer of beautiful interiors and fashion that becomes more and more "young" for me, textile junkie and believer in the power of wishing really, really hard. I wage a daily battle against feet on furniture, "outside voices" inside, the ever widening chasm between now and "when I used to work," wrinkles, a lack of personal time, dust and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one's heart. So far dust and wrinkles are winning, but only because even the best of multitaskers have their limits.
Toss my name in the hat. Very cute bags – would love to use one during those rare times when I’m not hauling a diaper bag. :) Amanda
I LOVE the green one and would love to use it this summer during an evening out in rehoboth beach.
I sent an email out promoting your blog and purse giveaway so this is Entry #2 for me!
Great bags! Since I have one I know the straps are just the right length and it is a great size for dressy occasions. Also, since I already have one, I pass my chance to win on to the next person. Happy New Year!
I’m in. Never enough handbags, and both of those are delectable.
Those are so pretty!
I love these bags. They are so cute.
Love the blog–reminds me of when I was a working mom of twins + one all 3 and under. My twins are now 12 and lots of fun and we even added 1 more (5 years later…).
Gorgeous!
Oh I love them! Especially the green. :]
I want some cake!
I’m behind on my comments …sorry I’m not ignoring people on purpose.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I LOVE the bags!!! Now, what else do I do????
Happy New Year to you! I loved the Ross and Rachel dance routine. My brother and I did similar things.
We’ll all be back to our “normal” routines next week. It’s been fun but busy with kids home and guests coming and going…
The bags are pretty Kate. You’re sweet to do all these Giveaways.
They’re gorgeous!
Happy New Year Kate! Love love love the bags! (And I can vouch that Nancy did email to promote your blog and the beautiful bags!!)
I love your blog. Thanks for all your support too.
Both colors are “awesome”!
Big hug! :)
Those are cute bags and I am firmly in the camp that you can never have enough bags.
Count me in….I love both of these. I will spend some time the next week clearing my head so when I win I will know which one to choose….lol
Love the bags – so cute.
Love Them!
I think both would be lovely for winter. The blue is gorgeous!
Great giveaway!
I’m really into impractical since I’m not carrying a diaper bag for the first time in about 9 years!! Very cute! And, hey, don’t apologize for being “a little late”. You could do “December Giveaways all year long and nobody would complain! Happy New Year!
I think I’ll win one of these bags and it will mean I’m supposed to go on a winter vacation. (:
Have I mentioned that I LOVE purses? Well, I do. The green one is FABULOUS. Please enter me into your lovely contest.
Ooohh! I like them both!
How cute! Who cares if they are practical if they are that cute.

I made a little gasp when I saw these bags. They’re beautiful.
I think you’re fabulous. I’m so glad to have you to read.
I’m surprising even myself and saying I prefer the blue!
These little bags are adorable.

Love both of the bags! Since I am always wanting to change the purse that I am carrying (but can’t afford it) this would be perfect! Thanks! Deena
These are beautiful! What a great giveaway!
Beautiful bags -you have the best giveaways! Thanks for your note the other day – my writing side should get to see the light of day a bit more often now that the holidays have passed. Hope 2009 is treating you well.

Very cute!
Okay, I am a daily reader of your blog and I am FINALLY dipping my toe into the “leave a comment” waters. I have to say that reading your daily musings is ALMOST as good as sitting in a cubicle next to you ;-) Oh, and I love these bags too.
Those bags are massively cute!
I just got turned on to your blog through another friend of mine who had linked to yours…very amusing stuff. Anyway, I’ll throw my “entry” in the “hat” :)
Oh…..so cute! I’d love one.
Count me in!
