Have a wonderful birthday. My 5 year old wallet is falling apart so I would buy the Shelburne clutch.
Happy Birthday! I love the Sherbourne bag and the Taplin purse.
Great site! I’d love to have the Chimayo Bag with Rainbow accents — I could haul all of my files back and forth to work stylishly! What a fun b-day week you are having!
I love the The Taplin Purse!

Happy Birthday and thanks for the giveaway.
oh my. the taplin bag with black and white ikat print and cognac leather is dreamy.
i’ve been a shelter fan for so long now, this giveaway is so great.The Taplin is basically the perfect purse – long enough strap to make biking with it easy, but not too big so as you feel you need to put all your groceries in it.
The Chimayo or the Rolston, on the other hand, are more realistic to my bag needs. Big enough to put everything I’ll need for a few days into it. And then some.
Love the Taplin Purses! Shelter has been an Etsy fave for a while!
My jaw dropped when I saw the Roslton Bag. I’d love to win! xo
I liked Shelter on FB too. :)
happiest birthday to you both! karie’s such a sweetie and those bags, welp, i lurve them.
