Love Handle Bags Halloween Giveaway! CLOSED

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I didn't care about the costumes. I only cared about candy. And let me tell you the progression of my trick-or-treating experience.

I lived in a pretty spread-out suburb. Trick-or-treating required a car and cardiovascular endurance. My mom would drive us kids around the neighborhoods. We would run in and out of every home. It was cold, often wet, and really could be miserable.

The thing that could make or break the trick-or-treating experience was the bag I used to collect candy. I started out with plastic, like probably many kids. As the bag got heavier, the handles started stretching and eventually ripping. I smartened up and went for the pillow case. It was strong and never broke, but the lack of handles eventually wore on my grip.

Now years later, Mindy from Love Handle Bags, sends me a cotton bag with handles that is painted with the cutest pumpkin and decorated nicely for Halloween. This is the one time I wish I had a kid to take trick-or-treating. Instead, it's a great bag to hang on the door with treats for neighbors. I live in a high-rise, so there is plenty of traffic outside my door.

Mindy, of Love Handle Bags, loves EVERYTHING about Halloween! She loves all of the creative costumes, handing out treats, watching kids scurry from one house to another, and most of all, the candy!

Mindy has always been a crafty person. As a kid, every year she would enter my crafts in the fair and would always come out with a first place ribbon. Very cool!

Though she doesn't make the bags from her shop herself, Mindy will one day learn to sew them. In the meantime she uses acrylic paint, and on every bag you will find a reused button, adding a unique twist to it.

Currently, Mindy is working on a unique and very cute way to package the bags when mailing them to the buyer, along with a little thank you gift inside! She wants everyone to know that she will be doing some Christmas bags soon, and anyone who reads this post and checks out her site which is www.lovehandlebags.etsy.com will recieve 10% off of every purchase!!!

Just message her that you found her on RoxyShops.
