Kathy's Krochet Nook: Ruffle Tote Giveaway!

by


I'm not sure if this is public knowledge or not, but I have a slight problem with tote bags (exhibit A). I love them. I use them as my work bag, my purse, my sewing bag, craft bag. I give them as presents (my MOH and Bridesmaid are getting ones!); I use them for moving, storage, anything and everything. So, when I came across the beyond adorable hand-made ruffle crochet tote bags from Kathy's Krochet Nook, I got so, so excited that I had to share them with you all. Kathy, who hand creates all her pieces in Wisconsin, is an expert crocheter. Having learned at an early age, she effortlessly whips up scarves, shawls, baby blankets, mittens, and her signature tote bag. Lucky for all our devoted Lovely readers, Kathy's Krochet Nook is happy to give away one of her awesome, original, and truly lovely tote bags to a Lovely reader! One of you will win a Tweed Dark Brown Ruffle Tote!

This tote is just the right size, not too big or too small! It measures 12" wide & 11" deep. This tote bag is made with a nice brown yarn with tiny multi-colored specks in it.

How can you win this lovely tote? It's so easy! Head over to Kathy's Krochet Nook and take a look around. Then leave a comment on this Lovely post telling us which piece is your favorite. You may enter as many times as you like. Make sure you include a way to contact you in case you win!

For additional entries: Friend Lovely at Your Side on Facebook and comment again letting us know; for yet another entry, Friend Kathy's Krochet Nook on Facebook and comment again, letting us know. The contest will end on February 6th, at 12 PM EST. A winner will be randomly picked and announced the next day. Good luck!


Update: Diane, #35 won! Thanks for playing!
