Thursday giveaway!

Today's giveaway is from Forestbound, an etsy shop of bags and utility pouches, all made from found and salvaged materials. They're offering this gorgeous, one-of-a-kind bag made from a 1940's farm feedsack, with a striped lining and leather handles. I'm totally in love with its French/tomboy feel! (Can't you picture Charlotte Gainsbourg carrying it around Paris?)

For a chance to win, visit Forestbound and leave a comment below. A winner will be chosen at random tomorrow. Good luck!

Update: Samantha F. is our lucky winner. Thanks for playing. xo
