I just stocked up the etsy shop - lots of pretty new spring colors! 

New Goodies in the Shop!!

I've put some fun new things in the shop! 

I'm loving this charcoal tote with the mustard colored flower. Great for winter - I had to make one of those to keep for myself! 

 After some requests, I listed some Alabama ones with houndstooth, but they're already sold. I'll try to get some more made and restock. 

I also made some of these smaller ones, they're actually more of a purse size. I was thinking they would be great for little girls!

I like making the pockets out of fun prints. 

 I also had requests for Christmas bags, and that sounded like fun to me! So I have 2 different designs listed right now. This one's  my favorite. I love the jolly prints!

I've been putting pockets in all my bags now - it just makes them so much more convenient.

The most popular style so far is the shabby chic one...

I've made and sold 19 of those in the last 6 weeks. I think I could make it in my sleep!

I can't believe how well the shop has done! And seriously, if I could keep up with it better, I'm sure I'd sell even more. It seems like as soon as I restock something, it sells again. I've been open 6 weeks and I've sold 32 bags - that's a lot of sewing, people! At least, it's a lot when you've got a 16 month old running on the loose ;)  I've got to work on finding a good balance - how much time to spend on the shop, the blog, all my little guys, and my big guy, too. But, really I'm having fun with the shop, and am so thankful for each and every customer that has helped to make it a success!

My New Shop, and a GIVEAWAY!

I'm so excited to tell you all that I've opened up an etsy shop!!!

I've received LOTS of emails about the tote bags I made a few years ago, thanks to Pinterest I'm sure :) 

So anyhoo...I decided to make up a batch of them and offer them for sale for those of you who don't like to sew! 

And as a sort of Grand Opening celebration, I'm going to give away one of these tote bags to one of you, my lovely peeps! The prize will be one of these floral and gingham totes as pictured below. But there are many other styles for sale in the shop. 

All you have to do to enter is visit my etsy shop,

The Parsonage Queen

and leave a comment here on the blog telling me which bag is your favorite! 

There are quite a few to pick from...

There are some shabby chic bags...

There are some fallish bags...

 There are several chevron bags...

And there are even some striped ones, too!

All of the flower pins are removable, so you can wear them on your jacket, sweater, or on another purse if you'd like! 

The giveaway starts now, and will close in one week - on Friday October 5th at midnight. I will announce the winner on Saturday morning (October 6th). The giveaway is open to anybody in the US or Canada, but if you do not have a blog, please be sure to leave your email address in the comment so I can contact you! 

Good luck, and I'll see ya at the Shop! :)
