Charm Design Review and GIVEAWAY!

I love a good, trendy, functional, well made bag… I mean I LOOOOVE a good bag! And who doesn’t?! You are all in for a treat today!! I am super pumped to introduce you to a fab etsy shop – Charm Design.

I was fortunate enough to be sent this super chic clutch to review…

I just love this clutch design, and the print?! *adore* I also love that I can carry it when I’m just wearing jeans and a sweater OR it can be carried out on ‘date night’. The craftsman ship is superior and in fact, there is not a single flaw in the stitching that I can see!!

Charm Design offers a LARGE line of bags from Shoulder Bags to round and oval Zipper Pouches to Granny Bags! What’s more, all the bags are reasonably priced – even for this Momma of 3! The bag I reviewed sells for only $25!

Below are a few of my favorites. Notice the variety of fabrics. Ready to drool…

There's something about this print that's just calling me...

Oh, and here's a pic of one of the totes - how fun!

Charm Design has generously offered one Take A Mom’s Word For It reader a Pouch of her choice from THIS page of the shop!!

Enough Spam Already!

I really detest these captcha-words I see on blogs... they just slow me down! But sadly, I have now switched to a word verification here. I just can't spend any more of my precious time reading and deleting spam comments. So, I do apologize to those of you (like me) who detest them :(
