My daughter Hannah has been sewing bags and totes for about a year now. I've waited and watched as her skills have increased exponentially (under the able tutelage of Miss Mary, in our church) and I think she is ready to take her business to the next level.
I am proud to be offering your choice of one of three of her designs. I almost feel sorry for everyone, because you do have to choose...and I am not sure I could choose! I am pretty sure I love the Leslie bag the best...but then, there's Albany, and I very much want a bag in her rich, mustard yellow color, since that is one of the "it" fall colors, this upcoming season! But then...I so love the structure of the Ashley bag...
Nevermind. You go on ahead, and choose for yourself. Then, be sure to follow the steps at the bottom, to be entered to win one of these very well made bags!
Good Morning Lovely People,
It’s so nice to “meet” some of you and to “chat” with you others of whom I’m so proud to know. My name is Hannah McConnell (for those of you I don’t know). I am a new mother, teacher’s wife, aspiring philanthropist/homemaker/designer--- you name it I haven’t decided yet--- and last but not least, daughter to Sheila Atchley of none other than Sheila Atchley Designs/A Season of Harvest.
Thus,… the give-away on her blog! I have been slowly churning out different purses and such over the past year or so, trying to get my feet under me dreaming of starting my own business… in the near/distant future.
“One small step at a time.” If I’ve heard that saying once I’ve heard it a hundred times… but, it’s so true for me. I take what I do no less seriously than the next person; however, I am a new mother and time doesn’t come easily to me. That being said, I LOVE what I do… and I love ROCKING at it. I am proud of the product I create and sell… if I weren’t you wouldn’t see it here!
I am so thrilled that I was asked by my mother (someone who never skimps on quality) to participate in a giveaway on her blog because that says something about how she views my work. She wouldn’t ask just anyone to participate. She has very high standards… and I am HONORED!
So, after a great deal of thought (and maybe even prayer) I have decided to give all readers and followers of Sheila Atchley Designs THEIR CHOICE of one of three of my designs, as follows:
Please meet the "Leslie" tote...she's feminine and beautiful and Bohemian, and comes with a detachable fabric flower (not this exact one, but one like it. This one belongs to one of my mom's Jeanne Oliver bags...).
She is lined on the inside with a striped ticking fabric...beautiful!
Next design is this mustard yellow bag (huge, going into fall 2012!) ~
Her name is "Albany". She wears a beautiful mustard yellow ruffle, and is lined at the top, and on the inside, with a slate gray chevron pattern - chevron is the "it" pattern this year. She also comes with a detachable fabric flower...
...she also has THREE inside pockets...
...and Albany has a zipper closure!
Last, but not least, perhaps you'll choose this beauty ~
Meet "Ashley". She too is lined on the inside. She is structured and preppy, unlike her Bohemian sisters (who she loves, by the way). She has one pocket on the inside, and a pocket on each outside panel, for a total of three pockets...
...and comes with a detachable bow. You can keep the bow, remove the bow, or substitute the bow with a bow of your own...Ashley is flexible.
So there you have it. This Giveaway is for YOUR CHOICE of one of my bags, either the Leslie, the Albany, or the Ashley bag.
