Ariat Cowboy Boots Giveaway from Langston’s Western Wear

I have been SOOO excited to tell you about this giveaway!! Langstons Western Wear contacted me because they saw how much I loved boots.

A few examples of my boot favorites…

They asked if I’d love to give away ANY pair I’d like on my website. I squeeled at the opportinuty to give you a pair of my own pick!

So I chose the pair that I wanted the most-  the Ariat Crossifre Caliente in a weathered brown. I thought they were classic, beautiful and could go so cute with any outfit.

Features include premium full grain leather, a Duratread™ outsole, Gooyear® leather welt, a wide square toe, and a spur ledge, among others. A great-looking, comfy leather cowboy boot.

Mommy and Me Messenger Bag (and Mini, too!) Pattern and Bag Giveaway-CLOSED

My super “easy- if-you-can-sew-a-straight-line-you-can-sew-this pattern” is here!

I made this one out of wool scraps, added a pink lining with matching trim and a vintage button and I’m (our my sister here) wearing it everywhere!

Here is the mommy messenger bag in another fabric.

I did three different sizes. From left to right, Me size, Mommy size and Mini size!

They can be done in ANY types of fabric and I give lots of ideas plus ideas for repurposing fabrics and additional options for customizing it.

I did Isabel’s from a pair of old jeans! I added a little star applique to the front and a bright  pink button closure.

Ava’s was made in a home dec paisley lined with cotton polka dots.

And I couldn’t leave Gigi out! So she got her own mini version which she is thrilled with in a blue damask print.

There are step by step instructions each with a picture, measurements for each size, suggestions and options- all sent to you in a quick and easy pdf file.

The inside is fully lined with pockets on each side.

You can store books, crayons, lunches, etc.. in the different sized pockets.

Oh, and want this one? It’s up for grabs.

It’s the sweetest shade of pink with a linen like texture.

It’s lined with an Amy Butler fabric and my new label from Little Birdie Studio is sewn in!

The winner will be announced Friday, February 26th. To enter:

1. Leave a comment. Tell me whather you’re entering for the bag or the pattern or both!

2. For a second chance to win, create a link to this post on your blog, facebook, twitter,etc.. Make sure to tell me in your comment if you do this, too.

The pattern will be up for sale on Friday. And I already have some posts for unique customizations planned!
