Library Bags and GIVEAWAY!

I am so excited to finally show you what I've been working on!

Library Bags for children! Or adults :)


I love to take my kids to the library.
After hunting for random bags to carry our books I decided enough was enough
and made each child their own library bag.
I designed a bag that is sturdy enough to hold quite a few books.
Inside each bag is a little pocket big enough to hold a library card.
The outside of each bag is made of a durable canvas.
The inside is a fun and bright fabric.
I LOVE mixing neutral colors with brights!
No two bags will be the same!





I am working on opening up my Etsy shop with pre-made bags.
But what I am really excited about is customizing the bags just for you!
You will be able to tell me what color scheme you want your bag to have.
And if you would prefer a name on the front rather than the word "books" that's an easy switch too!

So, all this to say.  The Etsy shop (http://www.bluecottagekids.etsy.com/) is NOT open.
I am however taking custom orders at this time.
Just shoot me an e-mail!  thevanillatulip@yahoo.com
These bags would be perfect birthday gifts or even Christmas gifts (if you're good about shopping ahead!)

PRICING
One Bag - $25.00
Two or More Bags in an order- $20.00 a piece

SHIPPING
One Bag-$5.00
Each additional bag in an order is $1.00

Now for the fun part!
I am giving one of YOU a customized Library Bag!
I am going to have several different ways you can up your chances of winning!
