Guess what? My blog cracked 200 followers this past weekend! Awesome! I can’t even tell you how appreciative I am of you guys; thank you so so so much for reading along and leaving your comments! I love “meeting” all of you and getting to know you through your words and your blogs and am humbled that you deem my adventures worthy of reading! You guys really inspire me to keep this blog going with updates and photos. You guys rock!
Sooooo, to celebrate and express my gratitude for your support, I figured that I would host my first giveaway!
One reader will receive the cute multi-coloured handbag pictured above. It’s handmade and in a traditional Guatemalan print and comes from the market here in La Antigua, Guatemala. I myself have one that is almost identical and I love it! It is funky and adds pizzazz to any outfit. I get tons of compliments on mine. The pictures don’t do it justice but it is made out of different patterns of woven Guatemalan cloth that are sewn together in a kind of quilt pattern. The purse has a zipper at the top and a zippered pocket on the side. It’s a medium size bag but here’s a picture so you can get an idea of how large it is:

Le sigh.
And I totally tweeted.
Is Guatemala a month ahead of us or are you really excited about your move to London? (The end date for the giveaway says October- I'm assuming you mean September?)
I'm also going to tweet about this (though the greedy part of me doesn't want more competition 😛 )
