DaySpring

Giveaway Day :: Maggie Whitley


Last November, Maggie Whitley {affectionately known as Gussy} borrowed her parents sewing machine in an attempt to teach herself how to sew. Since then, she's closing in on 100 etsy sales, I'm thinking she learned to sew.


Gussy makes bags and wallets that have a vintage meets modern meets comfort accessories quality. I've been a fan since I first stumbled across her blog a few months ago.


Look at the attention to detail.


The colors and textures are screaming to be caressed. {caress me} Did you hear that?


I am madly, MADLY in love with this laptop bag. Look at those pleats.

And her cute Gussy tag. Love her. Or hate her, she's only 23, what a baby. And so much talent. Gussy is offering a $40 gift certificate to Maggie Whitley where you can pick out whatever you want and be the envy of all of your friends. Don't be alarmed if they want to touch your new bag.

Leave a comment {with your email address if you don't have a blog where I can find you} to enter to win. Contest closes at midnight Wednesday. Be sure to scroll down and visit the other giveaways too! Good Luck!
