I am going BACK TO SCHOOL this week, and I thought I would end the summer with a bang...of giveaways!
This giveaway is extra special not just because it's Gussy (hello! who DOESN'T love Gussy?!?), but because in the process of working with Maggie, I found out that she graduated from the high school where I work! In fact, she graduated just months before I was hired. Makes me feel a wee bit old, but makes this back to school giveaway super special to me!
A wee bit about Gussy:
Gussy is a colorful line of ruffled accessories. Each ruffle is machine sewn free-hand style, making each ruffle unique. Almost 2 years ago Maggie sat down at her kitchen table --she wanted to learn how to sew. And here she is now, offering zipped pouches of all sizes, laptop bags, tote/diaper bags, and wristlet/clutches (all with her signature ruffle) to those that love a little flair :) And, she's recently quit her day job to pursue Gussy full-time. To read more about Gussy, click here.
The Nester wrote, "Gussy has a juicy shop full of all kinds of wonderfulness, and her blog, Gussy has a lot to say, is quickly becoming a crafter’s headquarters where she features different crafters/artists and writes about her experience."
You can follow Gussy on twitter here!
I am SO excited to announce that The Sluiter Nation Back To School Bonanza's third giveaway is $30 shop credit at www.shopgussy.com!!! (sorry, all baby blankets are exempt from this giveaway credit).

Those bags are adorable! I love the ruffles! I don't own a Gussy bag and now I feel the compelling need to have one - NOW! Plus, I'm a mom and I rarely by for myself so all the bags I own are looking pretty shabby these days... :)
