Anyway, cue an Oprah voice....it's a GIVE-A-WAY...GIVE-A-WAY*, PEOPLE! (let's all scream, jump up and down and hug the person next to us).
Now I also missed doing this on my 100th post (you'd think I'd had handbags to design or something with all this ignorance of milestones)...so I am going a triple treat and hopefully you'd love to enter one or all of the groups - its up to you.
Giveaway 1 - something from 'in my bag'
To enter please leave a comment on what your current favourite design is on lyssymay.com and you will get your pick of one item from the 'in my bag' range. This will be drawn at random. You might like to choose a vintage wallpaper wallet...
Giveaway 2 - something for a little miss
I learnt to 'sew' using cardboard lace cards when I was 3 and would love to hear from mums, aunties, grandmas, godmothers and other fabulous women about how they are passing on their skills in handmade things to the younger generation (doesn't have to be sewing - can be cooking, drawing etc). My favourite 3 responses will each receive one of the new handmade felt brooches...
Giveaway 3 - tell me why you love me (or kinda like me)
You are welcome to separately email me an entry such as a pic with your item and can be creative with your answer (with the proviso that you give consent for me to post your entry here on the blog). The best response (as judged by me with a panel of experts) will win... their choice of ANY Lyssy May bag or product currently on the website. That's right - a free handbag to any value! So dig out that bag you might have picked up at one of my handbag parties or the markets back in the day and lets reminisce a little.
I think I have now celebrated in style. Good luck!

I am going for # 3, Why I love you. I am about to receive my first wholesale order from you to sell in my retail store and I am so excited because you used to be a local Brissy girl and you are very talented! I love everything you create.
Thanks Simone - that is a lovely way for me to start my day!
Giveaway #1....
I adore your Sushi Sister range, especially the Flight of Fancy - the 'pop' of orange colour is adorable. It would certainly cheer up a gloomy winters day!
Thanks for the chance of a giveaway too... You are just too Good!
Giveaway #1..
It's very difficult to choose a favourite between the 'Cafe Groove' and 'Mariella' Alyssa but Cafe Groove it is - I love how you have incorporated the past life of this fabric and given it new life.

Thanks so much to Teresa R. who emailed me her entry for giveaway 3...
A friend spent a year in Oz studying English and I thought "What could be a unique and memorable gift for her to take back home to Italy?" I found the Lyssy May website and found the ideal gift...A Recycled Street Map Wallet of the streets in Brisbane. Perfect!!She loves it and still brags about it!
That Nicole has great taste. Im going to have to agree, I love Cafe Groove, but Mariella takes the cake. By the way Im still loving my vintage wallet. I keep my iphone in it and get comments from so many people about it. I still have 2 others, but Im keeping them special.

Adorable! I love the vintage wallpaper wallets. Especially the lilacs!
all your stuff is ADORABLE :)
#1 - I love the Susannah bag. Beautiful!
Thanks a lot!
1. The 'Cherry Baby' bag is one of my favourites! Thanks for the giveaway. mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca
Giveaway 2) I have been teaching my kids (3 and 5) to sew using plastic canvas shapes and yarn. My 3 year old son finishes his quickly in an abstract way and my daughter who is 5 takes longer and is more precise.
I recently pulled out my old spool knitter and taught my 5 year old daughter how to spool knit. I got her a special bag which is her "project bag" for special projects that take more than just an afternoon. She was thrilled when she finished a purple headband for herself!
I used to knit and crochet with my Grandma whenever I visited her as a child. I'm so glad my son and daughter are keen on crafting and I can't wait to teach them to knit and crochet like my Grandma taught me.
Thanks for the giveaway. mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca

I'll go for #1, because those wallets are just too awesome! So here it goes, my favorite, after long long drooling over everything you make (sorry bout that) I picked Sonata, probably one of the cutest bags I've ever seen! I love the design, and the pattern is adorable! Handles: Silver coloured chopsticks- this is brilliant idea! The bag looks roomy and suitable for every occasion:) just perfect!
All the best to you and to Lyssy May:)

You just scraped in Mia - I am about to randomly draw and will put your name in the hat! x
