Birthday Giveaway: Olivia Browning

olivia-browning-paris-bucket-bag.jpgIt was a pretty remarkable day when I moved from my big (way overpacked) diaper bag to cute, compact bags that -- save the occasional snack cup or activity book -- primarily held my stuff. And whether you've been in that zone for a while or are approaching it, this chic Paris Bucket Bag ($165 value) would likely serve you well. Kindly gifted by Charlestown-based brick and mortar (and online) indie boutique Olivia Browning as part of my Boston Mamas Fourth Birthday Giveaway Series, this bag is punchy in color, lined with a washable interior and handy pockets, and features gold hardware to up the fancy factor; you'll no doubt feel happy carrying this bag, whether or not the bottom is lined with a few Cheerios. Simply check out the rules below and leave a comment on this giveaway by Thursday, July 15, to enter to win.

    That bag is heaven! *fingers crossed* for the win. :)

    The Paris Bucket Bag is great - being one who loves inner pockets in bags, I particularly like the fact that there is a cell phone pocket, a zipper pocket, and a center divider in the bag. The perfect combination of lots of space and organization. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Gorgeous color, this would match everything, thanks for the chance!

    I found 3 different bags that I want, they are adoreable!!

    wow. They have a large variety of products for everyone. This bag is amazing.

    I absolutely love that Paris Bucket Bag - and plum is my favorite color! It's nice to finally be able to ditch the diaper bag - and would be even better to replace it with a bag like this one! Olivia's site is great - lots of fun, pretty and unique gifts!

    Love their stuff! This bag would be a great upgrade for me!

    I love Olivia Browning....when I told my mom I was pregnant we were out for a walk and when we got in front of the store I asked her if she wanted to go in and look around for baby stuff as she was going to be a grandmother...after 20 mins of tears we went in to window shop!

    A cute bag *always* fits, whether you're pre-baby, with-baby, or post-baby. And so does jewelry. I fell in LOVE with the Beaded Lariat with Dangling Tagua Slices I saw on Olivia's site, and for only $55???

    Love this! And the store looks great. Will definitely stop in next time in Charlestown!

    What an awesome bag and store! Having just moved from Central OH, to the greater Boston Metro area, this is quite a find for me. Thanks!

    What a beautiful color for Summer AND Fall!! Love it. Thanks for the giveaway :-)

    Would be nice to win this bag. At this point I'm using an old plastic bag to tote my stuff around.

    what a great bag.

    Such gorgeous things they carry- thanks for the chance to win.

    I love the Small Dory Server at their site.
    bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com

    i love the pillows

    Olivia Browning does nice work. I especially love the color offered for this bag.

    ohhh what a lovely bag. Will wait just in case I win but might be interested in getting my own ;)

    I love strolling through stores like this.

    This is my favorite color! So pretty and a great size!

    Two really favorites are the birds and shells pillows and that cute aluminum serving dish shaped like a little dory. The bag you are giving away is pretty phenomenal also. Am 74 so been a long time since I put away my last diaper bag but in 74 years you collect a lot of, and I do mean a lot, must-haves-at-all-times and this bag would certainly be just the thing for that collection. Fingers crossed here in the Poconos.

    I love the bag.

    I think the bag is absolutely wonderful. The color is vibrant and it seems to have everything a Mom on the goes needs. Thank you for having a great prize in the giveaway Good Luck to All
    Boston Mama's ROCK!!!!
