Blogoversary give -away
April 30, 2011
Wow… it’s been 2 years today since I started blogging!
I’m pretty stocked that I have kept it up and that you guys have kept coming back for more.
Thanks!
Last year I had a harrysdesk bag to give away, so I spent a long time wondering how I could celebrate this year.
So…… here’s what I have decided.
This year I have designed a new bag shape…. and it will be the prize.
That’s right, it isn’t made yet….. but it looks something like the sketch.
You all get to choose the colours.
I will make three…. in the most favoured colours.
One will be given away randomly to one of you, and I will list the other two on etsy for sale. A 10% discount for every entry you make will come off your purchase …. should you choose to buy one of these.
To enter leave a comment below telling me what your colour choice is….
…if you want more entries, you can…. blog it, facebook it, tweet it….. or some other creative form of getting the harrysdesk name out there.
Just leave a comment and tell me what you did and I will enter you as many times as you promote what I do.
I probably don’t need to say this…. but I love creativity… so if you think of an exceptionally creative way to tell others about what I do …. extra entries will come to you.
The bag will also be named after the winner.
The competition ends May 30th.

Yay!…
Love how it looks on the sketch!… I’m thinking lovely bright yellows… esp seeing as it’s been so dreary lately!

congratulations for you bloganniversary. I love your bag too. orange, yellow, green. hugs
how fun! what a great idea; I am in need of a smooth beige bag with some colored highlights
Congratulations! You’ve truly outlasted any of my blogging efforts (long ditched). Love Harry’s Desk every time I have a look through what you’re creative hands have been constructing. I think that deep aubergine/purples with burnt orange and a refreshing green would be a great look for one of these bags
Ha, just saw my little monster profile pic! Love it. Thinking about colours again. Deep/bright purple with a cherry red and strips of burnt/bold orange are also a terrific combination
Congrats!!! 🙂 That’s so inspiring!
I think a damask would be amazing… something tiffany blue and black…. or maybe even emerald green. So pretty!
Happy blogoversary Ally! I love stopping by to catch up on some of your creative output, and to see the girls growing. THey are all beautiful 🙂
I would love a bag that was olive green, with some burnt orange and red highlights. And the lining should be peacock blue 🙂
2 years is impressive.
All shades of pink.
Yay! – for your blogging and your bag. Might sound a bit dull, but I find myself into wearing greys at the moment. So, greys/silver tones with a hint of paleish pink for a girly touch perhaps for me.
I am entering because mine is in storage and I don’t know how long it will be there for…lol… You know I love purple but I am going through an orange and yellow phase with my therapy quilt so I’ll stick with those colours! Hope you are getting some work done today!!

facebooked it twice… I am good like that!! Now let me think of a really creative way to get it out there… Maybe a banner off a building?
xo Steph
Ally, this looks terrific!! Will you also be selling tutorials/patterns for it? I think you should 🙂 Red tones would work for me.x
PS Also facebooked it 🙂
oh man, ally! i love this.
i think that if you did a khaki color for the outside and then for the lining and rosette maybe a bright color (yellow??)
i am wanting to sit down and sew again. i miss it. 🙂
(I also think Quinn would be a wonderful name for a bag.)
I’ll go for black and purple. I’m sure it will look lovely whatever colour!
Hi Ally, Your bags are a touch of you, craftfully coloured, classic, with a point of difference. Love your work, love the blog (love the fact that its user interactive), the very best best wishes for future success to you. Il watch for future blogs from you. TBIRD from Boggabri.
Well hello Toni Bird!
Who would have thought you and my Tim would end up working along side each other at Chippendale. For sure….. Boggabri is better without the both of us!.
Ally
Lovely bag – I would love it in greys and blacks with a bit of orange and red!
I’m going to facebook about the comp too 🙂

This new bag is called Earley,
It’s for Ally’s blogoversery.
For 2 years she’s been
a Sewer most keen
Of bags, owls and rosettes so curly.
Cute!
I’ll ask R to facebook this, since I have no clue how to do it.
I love purple, and purple and silver. 🙂
[…] three in the most asked for colour, give one away and put the other two in my etsy shop….. with the possibility of massive discounts, up to 100% Leave your comments here… or on the original […]
I’m thinking green or purple. But I love all your bags!
The colours of my dining room curtins! Though not sure what to call the shade of blue that it is. Its a grey blue. White and red look great with it and it goes well with our pink walls. I also think that my chocolate and cream furniture look good with it as well. So that is the colour bag I would like! xx
Please note this was posted way past my bed time and may seem a bit strange!
I love purple and lime/olive green: rich jewel colours like amethyst and peridot. On their own they are great or you could throw in red or hot pink too which is always exciting! ( hmm I think I just described the colours of my necklace that I wore to Rachel’s wedding!
Thanks for stopping by in my Blog and my Giveaway. I gonna jump into yours as well ;D I can not have enough bags ;D
Would be so nice to win, specially that this is a new shape that no one has.
Thanks for the chance.
Svenja
How about grey with orange or yellow?
I’m going to email my sewing group to tell them about this!
I don’t have a blog or do FB or twitter!!
Always red:) Thanks for the chance! thurbs8(at)yahoo(dot)com.
Looks like a lovely bag! I’m thinking teal and chocolate brown would be fantastic!
I love hot pinks and lime greens!
greeeeeen! 🙂
hum…aquas and reds? love the giveaway! thanks!
Great idea! I love greens and blues.
Thanks for the giveaway!

My color choice would be deep purple and dark green! Two beautiful colors that I think go so lovely together!
Lovely bag. 🙂 I always tend to favor bright colors – red, orange, yellow. Thank for taking part in Giveaway Day, and Happy Blogiversary!
I like purple and red, but I don’t know if they go together.
orange orange orange..thanks!
blue, green, grey
Fun idea, I’m thinking a light blue would look great!

Congratulations on your anniversary! I think grey and red would be appropriate. The FAME of having a bag named after you, oh i dont know if i could handle it. lets find out. 🙂
How about some nice grey and yellow fabrics! Fun times!
It would look great in teals and black! how fun!

I’m thinking navy and gray. Congratulations on your blogiversary!
I love bright colors, so I’d love to see this in orange, pink, and lime green or black!
I’m going to have to go with my favorite color combo as of late . . . gray, soft blue, and orange. Looks like it will be a sweet bag.
I would love a black,red and grey bag. Great giveaway.
Black if it’s just one color.
Black, red, grey if it can be a combo!
I would love to see a bag in gray with some pops of a fun color (yellow maybe)
I love bright colors. This looks like a very fun design.
That’s a good shape.I’d go for black and white.
I’m excited to see the final bag because the sketch makes it look wonderful and practical! As for colours, I do love bright vibrant colours, though I’m thinking that it would look lovely in a black and white pattern (damask perhaps?), and line it in a bright kelly green or lemon yellow!
Anything in green would be a blessing to me!!
Thanks for commenting on my blog, love that sketch and for me I’d say brown/yellows/golds!
Thanks Fi
I think it would be lovely in some shades of green.
I’m thinking classic greys, red and black!
Wow,bags always welcome,count me in,please.
Something dramatic- red; maybe with some green.
Will like to see the transition from drawing to real life.
Beautiful pattern! How about blues and browns?
I always love greens and browns. A perfect shape for my type of bag!
I share your bag passion its so practical and beautiful. This pattern will be very interesting made up mmmm, colours??? Rich colours, perhaps tones of one colour with some contrasting blasts of colour sparingly injected. Or a watercolour effect of prints. Lots of linen and then some pretty prints and a richly embroidered butterfly might look great. Oops I’m getting a bit carried away with your design. Thank for the opportunity to share.
Neat idea for a giveaway. Blues, or blue and yellow.

I love pink or peach!
Thanks for the chance 😀
Thank you for the great giveaway.

Myfav.color is blue
The bag design looks great! I like anything green, or yellow, or purple. OK, I’m really not picky. I just love color! Thank you for the giveaway–sorry I can’t help with a creative way to tell people what you do. I’m terrible at that type of thing!
I’d love a bag in any variation of turquoise/aqua/peacock, etc. My favourites of all!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Nice bag design. I think it would be well suited in shades of purple, with a little yellow.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Pretty! How about different shades of browns?
how fun!!…cute blog too! Thanks for this wonderful opportunity. I love anything with lots of bright colors. you are great! :)Happy giveaway day!
I’d love a Black bag with Turquoise in it somewhere. Thanks so much for the chance to help create it.
I’m a blue person…denim and florals would be nice.
Hmm, anything yellow…and polka dots???is that a color…:)
Thanks for the giveaway!

How cool is that?! I love all colors…bright…lime greens, turquoise…YUM!
Oh I’m terrible at picking color combinations 🙂 I’d probably go with yellows and oranges though in honor of summer!
Oh I think I just got in on this one, thanks for telling me about it when you entered my giveaway! I would go for green, especially grassy/mossy green.
Happy Blogiversary! I would love the colors yellow and grey
Congratulations on your blogiversary! My two favorite colors are copper & peach (but not together). 🙂
Thanks for entering my giveaway & sharing a link to yours. Have a great day! 🙂
Great Bag! Shades of Green and Grey! Happy Blogiversary! I don’t do facebook or twitter or any of those social networking sites but I got my sister in law to post on her facebook and on her twitter account so everyone in New Jersey, USA will know all about your new bag! 🙂
Hi! I’m glad I’ve remembered to post before the end of the comp!
I think grey and lime green.
[…] last entries for the giveaway bag have to be in by midnight […]
I like the design.
How about some yellow or orange hues?
just facebooked you xxx would love anything in shades of green! one idea to get the name out there is to photograph a group of your products and get people to ‘tag’ themselves in the pic via facebook and the winner gets a prize or whatever. the photo gets viewed by hundreds/thousands then! keep up the creating and well done on being so disciplined for 2yrs!
Upon recent reflection…… Green to go with my winter coat.
Love the new style, Ally! Green is my clear fave, followed very closely by purple. And Happy blogaversary!
They say that blue and green should never be seen, but this bag is crying out for blues and greens with yes, maybe a touch of yellow to brighten up the day … Very funky bag!
Beautiful bag. Beautiful blog. Happy anniversary.
I would go for deep blues.
Man, have any two of those 86 other entries said exactly the same combination of colours?? I don’t envy you having to sift out the 3 most popular!
I like greens, or pinks with red. I like blue too.
Happy blogoversary Ally!
[…] Lots of you will have an extra 10% discount on this price…and some even 20%….. due to the special anniversary bag give-away. […]
