I love having every day things that are fun and pretty. Even accessories we use like purses and bags. Pretty things all through our house just makes life happier. If you are going to have a purse or a laptop bag laying around your room every day (and who among us does not have at least one of those!) you may as well have pretty ones!
I love the idea of hanging your bag on a sweet hook by the door for all to see, especially when it is as cute as the ones Elisa Lou Designs makes! These bags can definitely make a statement in our home decor, just as they add a lot to our personal style when we leave the house.
And if you are heading off to a blogging conference, retreat or vacation this summer, eh hem, it might be time to snatch up a snazzy new bag before you go.
I adore my new new bag and laptop case! Just look at how lovely they look strewn about my sofa. They are so cute they don’t look messy. In fact, they are so cute, I might stuff a pillow in the laptop bag and pretend it is a throw pillow cover. Good idea, eh? Using what you have. Yep.
Would you like a new bag too? Well it might be your lucky day, because Elisa has offered to giveaway one of her Bailey Bags! Check out this prize, it is a beauty! I love the stripes on the inside too!

I’d love to enter, please. One of these days I have to win, right??
I just placed an order last week for a bag. I love all the fabrics and it took me weeks to decide which one to order. I would love to win the bailey bag because I didn’t order that one. Thanks for the giveaway.
This bag is gorgeous! I’ve been looking for something fun to carry rather than the ho-hum black purse that I currently sport. Wow! This would be great.
I linked it to my Facebook page. Thanks.
Great bags! Would love to win one. Love your site, too . . . I’m a newbie!
I just RT the tweet on Twitter! Cross your fingers ladies!
I love her bags-they are so cute!
Just twittered about it on my other Twitter account too. Hope that’s ok! http://twitter.com/carlywadephoto
I’m a bit in doubt when this post is written, because it says there’s a discount for june….
I would love to be the winner. So please enter me and thank you both for enabling someone to win.
I LOVE ElisaLou bags! Mine are well-used and well-loved, the Bailey Bag looks like a perfect size!
Beautiful bags! I love the cheerful colors!
