Hable Construction — Giveaway-A-Day 12/1


Find the winner for yesterday's Giveaway at the bottom of this post.
____________

It's Friday. And I'm feeling pretty happy today — totally ready for a really great weekend. You'll be feeling happy too when you see today's Giveaway: The design geniuses at Hable Construction are putting up for grabs a-way-cooler-than-anything-you-carry-currently WEEKENDER BAG IN TOMATO POPPY!!!!




The Weekender bag is big. The biggest bag Hable offers. There isn't a mother on the planet that couldn't make good use out of this single-strap, full-body style bag. Use it as the ultimate carry-all with room for extra blankies and extra boxes of goldfish — maybe a picnic lunch. Or use it at home as chic storage for towels and laundry.

At Hable Construction it's all about design and fabric and quality. Stylish utility and timeless products are the order of the day. Susan Hable Smith and Katharine Hable Sweeney are the heart and soul behind the admirable company — how much do I love a company founded by family!

This tiny post can only showcase a tiny fraction of the truly amazing work coming out of Hable, so take a very enjoyable minute to explore their site. In the meantime, you can began coveting the following:




My first introduction to Hable was their ridiculously cool Christmas stockings.


I can think of about 1 million uses for these great-in-every-way storage bushels.



Gardening accessories to smile about — sun hats, work gloves, camp stools and cots(!).



A mind-boggling selection of beautiful pillows.



And a collection of totally chic handbags and cosmetic bags.

I think I'm starting to cry a little because I'm loving this Giveaway so much. In my next life, I'm hoping to come back as one of the Hable sisters. Definitely enter today's giveaway.

Thank you, Hable Construction!

This site and these items are such a relief to a new mom like myself. I use to indulge in fashion magazines for myself, but now I look for hot items to make my son look hip. Of course, finding large, designer purses to hold my goodies as well as my son's toys and snacks is a plus! Being a mom doesn't mean loosing your sense of fashion! This site is awesome and I feel more connected with other hip mothers! Thanks
