{giveaway day #9}: gussy

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED!***
maggie is a sweet friend of mine and i am thrilled to show you the gorgeous things she makes!

Here is what she has to say about herself:

Gussy is a line of ruffled accessories. Each ruffle is machine sewn free-hand style, making each ruffle unique. About 18 months ago I sat down at my kitchen table -- I wanted to learn how to sew. And here I am now, offering zipped pouches of all sizes, laptop/tote bags, and note cards (all with my signature ruffle) to those that love a little flair. And starting May 14, I'm sewing exclusively on Gussy products. No more day job! : ] 



isn't her stuff so cute!?!

and even better, maggie is offering one lucky winner a 

$30 shop credit!!!

to enter, visit gussy and leave me a comment telling me which item is your favorite!
