Congratulations to our first contest winner, Peggy D.! She won a wonderful box of Vera Bradley bags, including a Vera and a Medium Cosmetic bag in Bali Gold, a Hipster in Cupcakes Green, and a Handbag in Mediterranean Blue! I had so much fun shopping for these lovely bags at the store, but I was sad to see that the most popular colors and styles really disappear fast! I guess I’ll need to do my shopping for the next drawing earlier.

Speaking of the next contest, I’d really like your help in deciding what the prize should be. Unfortunately, Vera Bradley does not offer gift certificates on their site…what is that about?? And honestly, their website is in dire need of a redesign! Nonetheless, Ebags & Ebay both offer gift certificates for Vera merchandise. Or, we could have another poll for some of our favorite styles/colors to get an idea of some of your favorites before I go shopping. Or perhaps everyone really likes to be surprised? I am open to ideas on this, so please share!

The next drawing will be held in July, so please sign up for my newsletter if you haven’t already!

I know I really don’t need another small handbag yet since I’m still carting twins (and all their stuff) around and I can barely close the Villager bag I have.  Nonetheless, I am really fond of the updated hipster-style handbag.  I am yearning for a simpler time in my life when I’ll be free of diapers, snacks and pacifiers and I like the way the hipster crosses over the body so I can still keep my hand-free to hold the girls.  So, which pattern should I choose??  I just love having so many choices with Vera!
