A giveaway from Little Bird Designs

I’m so excited about today’s giveaway. It’s from Little Bird Vintage Designs, and I think you’ll love it.

Little Bird Vintage Designs is owned by Grace, a mom of four, and in her shop she sells blankets, tote bags, and clothes with cute animal designs on them.

One really nice thing about LBVD is that they have a program called, “Buy Love, Give Love”. When you buy a Lovie Blanket from their store, you also get one to donate (you can designate a recipient, or give it to the charity that Little Bird is sponsoring.)

I think that’s a lovely idea.

Of course, my kids are pretty much past the blanket stage, so Little Bird sent me four of their organic canvas tote bags, one for each of my kids. Aren’t they great?

Of course, we were especially delighted with the gecko bag, which my reptile-nut promptly claimed.

The gecko is named Kalliope, and he was designed by my friend Erin, who you know best as the creator of the VW bus shirts that my girls are always sporting.

You may remember that Erin and her husband are adopting, and Little Bird is donating ALL the profits from any Kalliope the gecko purchases to Erin’s adoption fund.

The tote bags are high-quality canvas, which means they’ll last much longer than the typical reusable bags you can buy at the grocery store. I don’t think my kids are going to let me use these bags for groceries, though. 😉

Also, Little Bird uses eco-friendly printing methods…their ink is a water-based stain, not a petroleum-based paint. And the bags are made in the U.S.A., a definite selling point for me. They cost $14, which is, I think, a very fair price for an organic, U.S. made bag with a cute, eco-friendly design on it.

Sonia and Zoe have been quite enamored with the art on their bags, so they’ve been busy tracing and making reproductions of the bird and lion.

Zoe’s got two on her bulletin board right now, actually.

Want a tote bag of your own?

Grace has graciously offered to give away two tote bags to a lucky winner! And you get to choose which designs go on your bags.
