So, I didn't get into the top ten of purse week over at a Lemon Squeezy Home.

In fact, when the top ten were announced I had to go back to the flickr group to look at them again as most I couldn't even remember having seen in the first place...oops!

Pop on over to a lemon squeezy home to cast your vote by clicking the button above. You've only got til tonight to vote.

Personally I voted for the Marilyn Tote because when I read about it I discovered it was 80% HAND SEWN!!! Eek! That's a lot of work, and a beautiful bag.

Here's my entry:


A nice little clutch bag with suiting outer, quilting cotton inner, cream ric rac edging and a magnetic snap. Simple, just like me :)

I didn't get into the top ten though and I think I know why.

4 of the top ten were yellow or orange, 2 browny, 2 grey, 1 purple and 1 blue & orange.

I obviously chose the wrong colour :)

Next year I'll try a warmer colour and see if it improves my chances...oh, and I won't leave making it til the day the competition ends!!

Bonne Chance top tenners!

So here I've been, happily following along, reading the guest posts, checking out the prizes etc without actually ever thinking, you know, why don't I enter that?!

It just so happened that this afternoon I was making a cutey pie of a clutch so I decided I'd enter that. And went and checked the rules and it had to be submitted by midnight tonight!!!! EEEEK!!! Ok, Midnight tonight EST but still.....!!!!

Fortunately though it came together ok and I managed to get it finished off quickly and uploaded the pics to my new Flickr account which I've never used since I opened it in May.

Here's the group link for the Purse week 2011 photos.

There is some super tough competition from an awful lot of really, really, really, really good bags!

Anyway, at least I can say I've entered!

I dunno what the rules are for posting pics elsewhere so I'll hold off until Monday just in case by some miracle I get into the top ten lol!!
