August giveaway: A teatime tote bag and tea strainer!

It makes me nervous when I can't find a good giveaway prize by the middle of the month, but happily, a trip to World Market on Saturday solved that! First, I found this super cute tote bag, so I bought one for me and one for one of you! Yes, it's plastic, but it's nice thick plastic, if that makes sense. This is one of those sturdy, squarish-bottomed bags that should be a nice tote bag if you happen to need to transport tablecloths and linens, silverware, etc.

Here's a detail of the tote bag. It has an Asian flair and also some pretty floral graphics.

The winner also gets this teapot-shaped tea strainer! Now wouldn't you enjoy your tea even more after straining it through something so cute? If you would like to be entered in this giveaway, just leave a comment by 7 a.m. EST Friday, August 14, and you'll be entered. (U.S. and Canada only, please.) Good luck!

    It is cute. I like the fact its a sturdy plastic, so if it rains the contents don't get wet. Sign me up. Christy in Tulsa.

    That tote is so cute.. In fact I don't like using purses.. I prefer totes because they are so much easier.. .. I also like the tea strainer I've never seen one like that! Thank-you for these adorable prizes!
