Win a Stash shopping tote | How About Orange

June 29, 2009

Win a Stash shopping tote

While browsing on Etsy, I came across Mari Forssell's shop full of simple, modern bags in delicious fabrics. Mari is originally from Finland, now living in Nebraska. She's been sewing since she was a tiny girl and adores Marimekko fabrics. (Me too!)

We've arranged a little giveaway: leave a comment on this post before midnight CDT on Thursday (7/2/09), and a random winner will receive this hip red-orange shopping tote. Include a link or way of contacting you. The winner will be announced on Friday in this post.

UPDATE: The giveaway is now closed. The lucky winner was comment number 269, Elizabeth K. Congrats!

Do you need any more motivation than this to stop using plastic bags? Honestly.

Could you send me a convo via my Etsy shop if I win? That'd be lovely!
