I am excited to share with you another Buy Handmade Giveaway this week. Today we are giving away one of my favorite accessories – a purse/bag/tote!!
I’ve got some great “purse stories” to tell too – there was the adventure down a dark alley and basement off of Canal Street in New York as well as the LA flea market where the vendors wouldn’t show us the “good” stuff because they thought our husbands were undercover police officers!! ( It was the sunglasses, khaki pants and polo shirts!)
These totes are darling and are handmade at home by April Ballou of Zinney Lou Totes.
April is sponsoring this giveaway by donating my favorite tote – the Chocolate Sky. The tote is a medium size tote and has a value of $35.00.
Thank you to April for her generosity. Be sure and visit her website to check out all the other darling totes she has for sale.
Please meet April -
“I have always enjoyed sewing and since I was only blessed with 4 wonderful sons I started sewing purses for myself. I received so much interest in them that I decided to start offering them to friends and family and the web site just grew from that. My sweet husband created the entire web site. From the design to Zinney Lou’s bedroom to helping me name each tote. Too bad he never had a daughter. The name Zinney Lou was what my mother would some times call me as a small child. I offer matching “mommy and me” totes also. I have been blessed to be a “stay at home” mommy, the only job I ever wanted.
To enter the giveaway just leave a comment below – let me know how many purses/bags/totes you think you have!
Note: The average woman owns 6! Are you average, above average or below average? Guess what I am!!
The giveaway will be open until midnight PST, Friday, November 21, 2008.

wow, i am over average, i have more tha 6 bags, i love purses!!
With 3 Daughters I hesitate to even count how many totes/bags/purses we collectively own! More than my fingers and toes combined!! But this one would definately go as one of the cutest! What a fun contest! We love it!
I love these handbags they are so cute and versatile. I love that they have the trademark flower button. I love these contests they are so much fun!!!!
Wow! Those bags are sooooo cute! I can’t choose which one to buy for me, for my daughters and my nieces!
Thanks for sharing such a cute product!
I love to switch my bags/totes out seasonally. Each one has meaning to me. My favorite has almost worn out (after 19 years). Then, when I’m feeling impulsive, I switch to a happy tote from West Africa given to me by a dear friend. This is my first contest entry. I hope there are totes to match at Zinney Lou, cause my daughter would love to match Mommy.
I HAVE ABOUT TEN, TWO THAT I USE A LOT. I SURE WOULD LOVE A ZINNEY LOU TOTE.
I JUST MAY HAVE TO ORDER IT.
THANKS FOR SHARING
I love cute bags of all sizes. I would love to win this and use it. I am sure I would get compliments on how cute it is and where did I get it etc.
I think a great bag gives you great energy to go out in the world with confidence and pluck!
Getting in under the wire on this one! I just purged my closet of extra bags and donated about 10 to the thrift store. I still have at least ten left though!
14 maybe? Cute one!
I am WAY over my limit. My husband has counted them for me to try and persuade me to stop buying them. It hasn’t worked! LOL! That is a gorgeous tote!
Well 4 red bags, then a white one,a Navy one, that’s whats on top of my head. More in the down stairs closet. Can you have to many bags. This one is so cute.
