I Love Gussy {Giveaway}

April 6, 2010 by Kristen

*UPDATED with WINNER* Congratulations to Sandy a la Mode! You won!
I met Gussy at Blissdom this year.
And I liked her a lot.
Even before she gave the (in)Courage writers these gorgeous laptop bags (only I use mine as an all purpose slash purse slash laptop slash everything bag).
She is a self-taught, talented seamstress. She makes the most darling wallets, pouches and bags I’ve ever seen. Plus, she’s adorable and totally looks like a Gussy, although her name is not.

About Gussy:


“Gussy is a line of ruffled accessories. Each ruffle is machine sewn free-hand style, making each ruffle unique. About 16 months ago I sat down at my kitchen table — I wanted to learn how to sew. And here I am now, offering wallets, zipped pouches of all sizes, laptop bags, and note cards (all with my signature ruffle) to those that love a little flair!”

Me: Oh, to be so talented!

Here’s some info about today’s giveaway:
