The Delayed Give-Away

Hey lovely followers of The Mysterious Life of The Metropolitan Housewife, how would you like me to finally post my 600 followers give-away? Well, let's go for it then...

I am not hovering around 680 blogger based followers and I can't thank you all enough for caring enough to click that little "follow" button. I can't even believe I have made it thus far... and look forward to someday seeing 1000 followers (I hope!)

On to the good stuff then... For this give-away I am offering up a lovely, locally hand-made handbag! Its the snow white bag, and it is completely one of a kind. All materials used to make this are scraps, vintage, and odds and ends. None of this local designers bags are alike. I thought this was the most fun of her bags, and perfect to offer up on this give-away!

(click to enlarge image. Red wiggle dress is for sale here!)
The purse has draw string bows on each side with a pocket outside. Two smaller pockets are tucked inside the bag, and the straps are very sturdy and interfaced. And of course the lucky winner may find some delightful special goodies tucked inside!

To enter all you have to do is leave me a comment with your favorite blog to read!

For an extra entry you may also tweet this give-away on twitter with this:

(add a second comment letting me know you have tweeted the give-away)

This give-away is open to contestants from all countries worldwide, as long as you are or become a follower of my blog!
Giveaway ends FRIDAY JULY 2nd At 5pm.
Enjoy!

Its hard to pick just one blog since I read so many for different reasons, but one that I consistently visit is Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing. Her tips are great and the discussions are swell.

Congrats on the followers- I hope you get 600 more! Hmm, My fav blog, probably anything I am following, but to narrow it down to one...probably Lolita of the Vintage Starlet. I really love her hair tutorials! I also really love yours, and I wish you would do more ;)
