First Giveaway!

Although I wanted this to originally be a giveaway on account of reaching 100 followers - I had delayed in finding the perfect prize until now! I'm very sorry for this, but I hope the wait was worth something. :)

For my first giveaway, I want to offer my readers a chance to win this vintage 60s straw purse - a perfect hand bag for the spring season, I think! It has a good length strap, and a cute coin-purse-like opening into the bag. I was definitely tempted to keep her, but thought better of it and knew it would be a great giveaway! ;)

To enter,
* be a follower of missing-lovebirds! (tell me that you are!)
* write a comment below telling me what you'd wear with this purse!
* tell me your name and email!

For an extra entry,
* blog about my giveaway! (tell me that you did in a separate comment!)

I'll be using the Random Number Generator to find the winner... and last but not least - the deadline is going to be February 5th! This giveaway is open to international readers, as well.

Again, thanks so much for your support and sweetness!
x, Elanor

  16. I wish I could enter - I love that purse - you didn't tell your followers that it was "made in Italy expressly for Lazarus" (that's what the label says!) I found out that F.& R. Lazarus & Co. was a well-know independent department store in Ohio! Unfortunately it is no longer in existence. I'm afraid we would have charges of nepotism if I won the giveaway! Too bad - but best of luck to all you who enter ~

  25. Oh, I can think of many places where I'd take this purse. What's my favorite one? On a warm June day, to a park, for a picnic! I'd probably be wearing some flower print dress, with strappy sandals, and my favorite owl necklace. Oh and along with my picnic, I'd pack my favorite vintage cups, their plastic with the same straw material! Now, wouldn't that be fun?! :)

    I'm following you!

  28. Cute! This faintly reminds me of the purse Sophia always carried around with her on the show "Golden Girls".
    Since that thought is now on my brain I'd go with pairing it with a pretty floral dress in a blue/purple color combo & tights. Sophia would approve.
