800th Post, Anniversary Give Away


The only thing wrong with this purse is...
 ...it should say No. 52!



But I guess that's a matter of opinion!
:)
Anyway I love the look of this bag.
I bought it at Pretty Funny Vintage over a year ago.

The only problem is...
I don't use it!

I 've been using the same little, leather, cross body strap bag
 that I bought on sale at Anthro 4 years ago.

I use this same little purse every single day!
(so boring)
  I no longer switch out with my other purses.
I guess it's because I am not going to the office any longer
 and my little Anthro purse is a hands free wonder with a nifty
  pocket for my point and shoot camera and cell phone.
And, I'm lazy.
It goes well with my jeans and sweater uniform.
It's small and light and the perfect bag to take to flea markets.
And, I'm lazy.


So this very cool bag sits in my closet unused.

What does this have to do with you?
What does this have to do with my 800th post?
...or the fact that tomorrow is the happy anniversary
 of the wedding of Mr. Flea and me?

Well, 
Here is my idea.

To celebrate 800 posts
and Mr. Flea and me...


I will fill this awesome Vagabond purse with vintage treasures
 and send it to one random and very lucky winner!

You may ask, "what will she put inside?"

The answer is ... it depends on who the winner is.
If she likes vintage sewing things or art supplies
 or ephemera or...well, you get the idea!

I will search through my vintage treasures
 and tailor the contents to the winner's interests.

What do you think?

If you would like a chance to win this purse, filled to the brim
 with, well...stuff from my stash of vintage goodness...
just leave a quick comment on this post.
Let me know what your vintage loves are!

As always...you don't have to be a follower to enter ...


But, if you are...you get two chances.
For three chances...spread the word.

This Give Back is open to everyone...
no matter where in the world you live!

The winner will be picked at 10 pm (New York time)
on Friday, January 13th.

Yes, that's Friday the 13th!
Will that be your lucky day?

Thank you to everyone who stops by...
Thank you to all those who follow along...
 and to all those who take the time to leave
 comments and kind words.
 I truly appreciate you letting me know
 you are out there!

  Hope you are having as much fun
 here at 52 FLEA as I am!
:)  
THIS GIVE-BACK HAS ENDED!
BUT DON'T DESPAIR
THE 3RD BLOGVERSARY OF 52 FLEA
IS COMING UP SOON !!
February 15th !!

Beulah Bee said...

Wow! What a response! Almost like getting a busy signal when hoping to win something by being the "52nd" caller at a radio station. Lovely gesture, Laura, and I couldn't help but enter as that purse is really neat but I would definitely use it as a home decoration to hold something pretty (like dried flowers maybe) as I carry a wallet when I go out. As far as contents go, there's something about small old books that I will always be drawn to and, since I am an artist, anything art-related would be very special to me. I fondly remember that porcelain paint palette you happened upon at one of your flea market trips (can't remember if you bought it or not). I think it might have been on your trip to Venice this year. Anyway, it's fun to enter my chance and know that I appreciate your generousity no matter who wins. Wow! What a response!

Congratulations on 800 posts. I check your blog daily for new posts. I don't have a blog, but would love to start one. The purse is awesome. I have just recently started making jewelry from vintage buttons, trinkets and repurposed items, so if the purse happened to be filled with those things, my smile would be that much wider! Have a wonderful anniversary.

Hello Laura,
Each time I visit you have the neatest things, the breeziest commentaries...and I think it's because you're very much in love with your wonderful husband. Happy Anniversary to both of you!
I just had a birthday, and turned...well, let's just say the adorable vintage bag says it all! (I, too, take one little clutch everywhere with me!)
Today, I began decorating for Valentine's Day..glittering hearts, gluing, stringing beads, and all the time thinking of my mom's funeral on Valentine's Day, 2003, and thinking of how she would always make it special for us, and never thought that one day Valentine's Day would become a sad day for my family. I love glitter, sparkles, ribbon, vintage silver, owls, kittens, anything that speaks to my heart.
That's why I love your site, and your followers, as they truly 'get it' and know why we look at blogs, and dream!
Here's to LOVE..
XO

That purse is awesome, except I know how it is to get attached to something (like your Anthro bag) and not want to give it up.

If I were to win, you could put anything inside. I haven't seen a thing yet on your blog that I wouldn't want to own!

Happy Anniversary!

Lovely purse, lovely for you to share...

And if I should win the random, fill it with whatever you wish. Should coloring outside of the lines -- by my not specifying particular vintage interests -- disqualifies me for the draw, well... all is never lost. I still found your blog.

Best wishes for a happy anniversary to you and yours.

I'm following, Great Blog always, Great pictures, thanks Much... Hope I WIN!!! :o) Thanks, Becky

Hi there Fleas! Love the bag...along with vintage brooches (worn & weathered), shiny silver buttons, velvet and lace ribbons, family photos from long ago and far away. I adore all things old. Happy Anniversary from San Diego!

I love your #52. But I was born in '56 and I am kind of attached to that number. I see you have 339 comments. Oh well. It's still worth a shot. Cute purse. And love your blog. I always love your pictures of your visits to your friend's house and the tin rabbit. Happy New Year!

Love your favorite #52, but I am partial to '56 since I was born that year. Love the purse. I love your blog and the photos of your visits to your friend's homes and the tin rabbit, too. I see that you have 339 comments, but it is still worth a shot. Thanks and Happy New Year!! Georgia

It would be so fun to see what you pack that sweet bag with!
Hugs!

I hope I'm not too late to enter your give away! YIKES, I'll type fast! I LOVE the PURSE! I also love vintage seam binding, lace, rhinestones and buttons. I may have been born in the wrong era! Thanks for this generous opportunity and congrats on soooo many blog posts!

Congrats on your 800th post! I have been an unofficial follower for quite some time (just having this site bookmarked) but just made it official as a follower! I love your blog. What a sweet giveaway. Would be perfect for me as I just turned 56! I love rusty, chippy, timeworn and pre-loved items. Much rather have vintage than new. Looking forward to following your blog!

Oh my!! The clock is ticking -- you're not on my Pacific Northwest clock are you! I just stopped in again (for the zillionth time) and I can't resist a giveaway! Frankly, though, I wish you would give us a photo of the purse you use everyday! I've ended up going back to an old suede Coach bag of mine lately.... kind of nice to keep things stashed in the closet.... are you sure you want to give this one up?

As for my preferred treasure -- well, as you may see, I make new jewelry out of old jewelry, so any rhinestone, buttons and charms are my favorite finds. But I hope to start sewing again, so any fabric, ribbon or button things are already filling up my drawers!

I have loved and followed your blog for a year now. Please feel free to visit my little blog which is slowly figuring itself out! VintageTouchJewelry.com -- the same name as my Etsy shop.

Typical 11th hour kind of girl, here!! Cheers to the winner.

Salutations & Congratulations!! 800 posts...wow!! And a very happy anniversary, too!
Oh that bag! It makes me all twitter-pated just thinking about winning that gorgeous bag! And since I sigh over just about every single treasure you show on your blog, you could fill it with anything & I would be delighted :) But if you are just curious about what the readers of your blog collect, well then, I am rather fond of all things vintage and French, & I adore old linens, lace, thread, and the such.
Thanks for such a lovely and generous giveaway!

Sea Gypsy said...

Oh, and I am a follower, too! Thanks for a 2nd chance at this beauty! :)

800 posts! That's wonderful! I'm not sure how long I've been following your blog, but I've been enjoying it for a long time.
Fantastic giveaway! It's such a cute purse.

Suzanne@Meridian Road said...

I love old hardware. Hinges, handles, parts~as long as it's metal and old and interesting, I love it. But since that stuff is heavy, if I win, I'll leave the surprises inside the cute purse to you.

Hi I just found your blog and is great. I could just get lost in it. Sorry I missed the giveaway but someone sure is going to be very lucky indeed.
