EDIT; Minor adjustment. The contest is for the pink floral half moon bag, but since a few people have contacted me about the black and white one, I went ahead and bought it too. The winner will have the option for the pink bag or the black and white one. I’ll keep the other for myself!
When I first stumbled onto Patti’s etsy shop, I just knew I had to buy one of her half moon handbags for my new contest. I absolutely love their unique style and the patterns she chose for them. The bag I selected speaks “Spring and Summer” to me and I wanted to make sure that whatever bag I picked out would be perfect for Spring and Summer. Below you will see a couple of examples of the handbags for sale in her shop, and get an idea of what you have to look forward to in this contest!

As for the contest, here are the requirements:
a) IF you have a blog, create a blog entry which will include the paragraph below and have all links in place as they are in the paragraph.
a.1) leave a comment on this entry and include a link to your blog entry.
b) IF you aren’t a blogger, you may participate by commenting on this entry and letting me know how you learned about the contest.
The paragraph you will need to include in your blog entry is as follows:
Teresa is holding a new contest over at her personal blog. Those entering have a chance at winning a lovely and uniquely designed half moon handbag by Patti. Teresa is also willing to ship the prize anywhere, so no matter where you live you can participate.
So, are you wondering what you have a chance at winning? I thought so!

This contest will run from today, March 22nd until Sunday, March 30th with a deadline time of 11:59PM EST (comments will be turned off at this time). I will announce the winner on March 31st.
Good luck everyone!
