Blog Giveaway - 200th post!

I just realised as I was going to blog about something else that this is post 200 for One Day at Lyssy May - how amazing I have had over 200 things to share in the last couple of years!

As a result please leave a comment about anything or everything, long or short about one thing that made you smile today (or opt in to follow as all followers will go in the draw too!) and I will pop you in the draw for a Lyssy May mystery parcel full of handmade goodness!

2 x prizes will be randomly drawn Thurs April 22nd (comments close midnight Melbourne time Wed 21st April 2010).

One day... there was a give away!!

It's June, which means that I missed celebrating Lyssy May's 6th birthday in May. She's old enough to be in school!! In 2003 I launched this little handbag label in my parent's lounge room (pic below of some of the display - note the one bag shape made a million different ways!). That day I was surrounded by my wonderful supportive friends and family - thank you to all of you for continuing to nurture little Lyssy.

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)

I want to hear from Lyssy May customers both near and far! If you own a Lyssy May bag or product tell me why/how/when you received it and if its meant something special to you and/or your wardrobe. I don't mind if its not actually made by Lyssy May - it could even be anything that you once bought or received from the Brisbane store like a piece of jewellery, a scarf etc.

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!
