my first giveaway

Hi everyone!

I am excited to offer my first giveaway.


I like to keep special little presents on hand for last minute gift giving. I recently let my stash dwindle as we were preparing to move so I need to replenish. Usually Etsy is my go-to source but One Kings Lane is now another good one. I spotted these fun striped canvas bags made in France by Les Toiles du Soleil and ordered a few.


 I am using one to store my small camera, its cord and charger. See it there on the table? We stopped for a drink after our bike ride yesterday. It is made of canvas and the colors are vibrant and fun.



OKL is offering them right now for $21 as well as several other beautiful Les Toiles items here. But if time runs out on the sale, they are always available on Les Toiles du Soleil's NYC store website for $26 here.


 To win this cute bag, please leave a comment to tell me if you love French things as much as I do by April 18th.  I will let husband blindly choose the winner or use one of those random drawing apps. Please only enter if you are a regular reader of the blog or the content of this blog is of interest to you i.e you enjoy reading about gardening, nature, travel, food, etc.



Bon chance everyone!

Thanks for visiting!
Cindy

  2. Yes I do! I have to tell you the funniest thing....I am the one who recently asked you about your fabric (bolster on your bed). Well, the other night Modern Family was on (not a show i watch) and i glance over and they have that same fabric for the drapes on several windows. Isn't that funny! By the way, i did order several yards of it and am so excited to use it for a project very soon.
    fingers crossed....that bag is adorable!

  4. I love pretty French things, but I rarely get to indulge.... I am lucky to enjoy a nice French pastry with a glass of wine in my busy house! These are perfect! I keep thinking they would make wonderful end of the year teacher gifts, but then I think,hey, if I won I would have to keep this! I love it!
