bees’netta. the giveaway.
as promised, i’ve got an amazing giveaway for you. man, oh, man are you guys lucky! suzie of bees’netta is offering up one of her gorgeous bags to a lucky winner. let me introduce you to the prize…
you’re in love, right? this day labourer {a $250.00 value!} is made of a royal purple twill and was designed by suzie herself with a classic satchel in mind. there are double flap pockets and gold hook closures, and two tote spaces {with enough room for your books/magazines/binders/laptop}, one of which has a magnetic snap closure and the other sports a zipper closure. what i love about suzie’s bags, aside from the fact that they are all beautiful and well-made, is that they are so functional. i’m a practical gal and can appreciate that there are both handles as well as a removable and adjustable messenger strap, pockets for things like your phone, and that the bag closes.
wanna win?…

aloha! i’m Liana. this is my site. i am not a professional writer. i pretty much just write the way i talk. it’s fun meeting new online friends and introducing these amazing artists. i’ll do my best to keep you entertained.
That Day Labourer bag is a great size. I would love it in this purple or even paprika or emerald!!
Pretty! I have to say this one is my favorite, the purple is just too pretty. Love it. :)
I really love all the totes.( I totes love totes)
I am an art teacher and they are a great size to cram all my artsy bits in without looking like a pack mule!
especially the day labourer and the portager.. not to mention their jewel toned faboulousness.
So cliche but after browsing her shop I decided my favorite is this bag (but in paprika). So functional. I’d love to use it to tote around my school books!

I love love LOVE the Portager in drab olive. Olive is my favorite color, and the combo of olive & gray is simply fab. Plus it has very clean lines, which I appreciate as well.
I hope I win!!!
I really like the day labourer in heather. i think that is such a lovely colour! the simplicity of the bag is fantastic, and it looks so functional!

I gotta say, the day labourer might be the quintessential piece to transition into autumn, although the ransack is quite lovely, and would make a great catch-all INSIDE the day labourer! :)
I tweeted (witt0071). Thanks!
LOVE the day labourer in cranberry.
I love the Day Labourer in green and the Portager in orange and grey!
Wow what great bags!! I love the plum Portager. The colors make me yearn for fall even more. LOVE!
Oh MY!!! Such decisions!!! I am smitten with the Ruckasac and the Portager however I do believe the Day Labourer has won my heart! As much as I enjoy red the purple is delightful and would be a great addition to the fall/winter wardrobe! They all are incredibly impressive! GREAT JOB!
I heart Day Labourer !!!! What a fun contest! THANKS !!!!
Love the Portager (any color), but the Day Labourer is a close second and would be way more functional for my everyday.
I love all the great colors of the Day Labourers on the website, but purple is my favorite color…. So please “randomly” select me. It would look fabulous on me while I’m “day Labouring” ;). Love it!!!
I absolutely love the “Day Labourer” bag! It’s perfect to hold everything in.
THE PORTAGER in organic plum canvas and charcoal twill. A lovely bag in my favorite colors – so perfect for fall! My fingers are crossed!
Not only is the iPod/iPhone cover cute but it’s neat that it’s made out of a remnant from the local fabric store. Love that!
The color, the style – I love this bag in Royal Purple! What beauty!
I love the Portager in heather grey and charcol… also loving the The Ransack pouch!
Cheers!

I love THE PORTAGER. It’s simple design and eco friendly that I love

Love the day laborer because I love the shape and the pockets. I also looove the Ipod/iphone case made from remnant leather. That will be on my Christmas list for the hubby. Thanks for sharing this with us. I would have never ever found it without you.
The Portager in orange and grey. It’s one of my favorite color combinations, and the bag is so simple. I love that one!
Since I already had the Day Labourer in my favorites list I’ll have to go with that (as is everyone else I see). However – I have to say that this bag is so incredibly stylish and functional I don’t mind joining the ever-expanding chorus to sing it’s praises!
THE PERFECT BAG! The purple is neutral, yet bright, and would be such a great, functional piece to liven up my wardrobe. What a fabulous giveaway!!!
my favorite is the rucksack in organic honey because it reminds me of something my mom used to have. when i saw that bag i just envisioned a younger version of my mother with that cute and simple bag on her back.
I love the Portager bag. It looks so functional and able to hold anything that I would need for the day. Plus the design is clean and having an adjustable shoulder strap it great.
love suzie’s shop ~ the jewel tone colors are just beautiful! really loved the ruckasac most I think. great gib bags for carrying all sorts of stuff to school!
I like the Ransack in floral because I <3 the bright pattern.

Truthfully, my favorite thing in the shop is the Day Labourer bag, so I hope I win!!!
Gorgeous handbags, so easy to dress up or down. And I’m not usually a fan of purple, but wow!
such amazing bags! this day labourer could easily be used, from school to dinner out.
the ransack in olive twill is great and looks like good size to either carry alone or drop it in any bag.
fingers crossed~ tightly.
waving to you~ found you today. Smile!
The Day Labourer is totally my favorite! I love the cranberry because I wear a lot of browns, but the purple would give my wardrobe such a pop. I’ve always been a big fan (and in total awe) of BEESNETTA and her talent.
oh my, bees*netta certainly is splendid! the colors, the construction, the gold hardware, and all that space! swoon! i’m crossing my fingers. thanks for the chance!
I love all of the amazing stitching on the iPhones/card holders. All of the colors of the day labourer are beautiful.
All the bags are lovely!!!! The colours are great, and the prints are really cute… I really liked the day labourer because it is large, and I have 3 kids, and am always having to lug there’ stuff around on top of mine!!!!
The Day Laborer in Cranberry is totally lovely…though I love this purple one too!
the day laborer is the best! perfect size for almost everything… perhaps the kitchen sink, but then how would you wash the dishes if it were in your bag?
the cardholder with yellow embroider is so simple and cute. i love it. i think i probably need one of these AND the nice big bag.
My favorite item is the Day Labourer in heather gray twill. Very chic and comfortable looking and not to mention it is also functional!
I love it all. I think my favorite item has to be the Day Labourer in the striking royal purple color. I also adore it in the emerald green and cranberry. It’s a very chic and stylish looking bag yet functional with all the pockets and sleeves. The Portager in organic plum canvas and charcoal twill is a close second. I love it’s graphic simplicity and the use of organic materials. Everything in the shop is absolutely gorgeous.
Hi! I just tweeted about the contest from @thespottedolive. :)
The rucksack in organic honey is great and I love the day labourer in every color!
The Portager in orange and grey is gorgeous. Perfect as we head in to Fall! Not too big, not too small. Love it.
I love the look of the Day Labourer bag; can go from a business meeting to casual. Very nice!
I’ve been obsessed with Bees’Netta for about a year now. I love, love, love the Day Labourer in Fig, a color very similar to the purple featured in your post (check out her sold items to see it in deep, elegant fig… yum). Yay for contests!!
Tweeted!
After looking through her site I love the day labourer in royal purple twill! That hue of purple is just gorgeous. That bag would be a great camera bag – im a photographer.All those pockets…love it!
(the blue-patterned clochard clutch is quite cute too.)
I fell in love with the Rucksack in honey. I’ve been looking for the perfect bag to upgrade to for graduate school. My old backpack isn’t quite professional enough for my tastes. This rucksack looks perfect! But then again there are so many options on her site.
I can’t decide which I like better…The Portagers or The Rucksacks (in the more vibrant colors). The designs on both are great!
I think the day labourer is my fave, actually. It just seems so functional and super cute!
The rucksack…awesome! I imagine it on my back as I ride around town on my old schwinn hollywood. It would make me look so hollywood!
oh my goodness! What a cool shop!
I canNOT resist a cool clutch so I would have to say those were my favorite, especially the Clochard clutch in browns’ n black or vintage brushed upholstery.
amazingly cool.
I just twittered about the giveaway also :)
I love love this bag. My favorite from Suzie’s shop is That Day Labourer bag in emerald! So many pockets, and so versatile. Thanks for this great chance!!
The rucksack=favorite! That heather is one of my favorite shades, hands-free functionality & it reminds me of my Japanese childhood- good times.
The Clochard clutch in the vintage fabric. Love it! Would be a perfect pair with my favorite summer dress, fitting my wallet, phone and essentials.
Must. Stop. Holding. My. Breath.
So immensely lovely!
My other favorite on her site is THE PORTAGER in organic orange canvas and heather grey twill. Dream bag defined.
I love the Day Labourer in Paprika. It’s the perfect red-orange color, and the style is completely functional and utilitarian but also 100% chic.
I love the Day Labourer in the Paprika color! it’s quite stunning!
love all of her bags!!!!! wow but that Day Labourer is my all time favorite. great fabric, great size, perfect for every occasion. if i could sew this is what i would make!!!! great in both purple and orange, my two favorite colors!
I love the Day Labourer in Charcoal Twill, the color goes with everything and is chic and classy :)
I LOVE the Rucksack. Ohh, but this purple number is gorgeous as well!
I love this exact bag — in purple or emerald — because those colors go with EVERYTHING. http://www.etsy.com/listing/54858408/the-day-labourer-emerald-twill
Awesome bags! I love the Day Labourer cuz it has all those great pockets and storage potential!
My favorite is the day labourer. It’s a great bag to throw my sketchbook in and hit the city for a day! Her shop is lovely.
I love the ipod sleeve it’s simple decorative and functional. Everything in the shop is beautiful :)
I love this bag! it is SO wonderful! I also love the bag in heather grey! GORG!! :)
most def. http://www.etsy.com/listing/54081981/the-day-labourer-charcoal-twill look at it! it’s dope. the color and the quality. It’s has a sexy-utility appeal.it’s perfect for a city girl like me who’s on the run. *hair toss* no, i’m serious about entering. My girlfriend would dig it.
Love the day labourer, especially in the cranberry! Also site is amazingly beautiful in it’s simplicity!
