you see, about a year ago, my dear friend, becky of the barefoot seamstress, gifted me one of her tote bags. i love that bag something fierce. it holds my entire life. i have room for my giant planner, my measuring tape (please tell me you also carry a measuring tape) & my 1,000 lip balms. it fits over the shoulder like a dream, too. i love it so hard.
but i needed something a little smaller. a handbag of sorts or a zipper pouch, but a little more practical. something fun for date night but equally casual for our visits to the farmers’ market. then walks in this fantastic clutch & TBS fan club was born.
this clutch fits all of my basic goods- my little pouch from yonder studios with my cards & money, my keys, my gum & my favorite new lip color “lovelight” from urban decay.
also, can we talk about the perfect mustard yellow tassel & leather handle? i can’t even.
it even has pouches, people!! this clutch is practical & pretty.
i’ve already rocked this bad boy at hope spoken, on a date night & to work. it’s fun, colorful & spices up my capsule wardrobe outfits.
the fun part of today’s post is that you have an opportunity to join TBS fan club, too! sweet becky is offering up a clutch in the fabric of your choice to one natalie creates blog reader!
I follow her on IG and visited her shop. I get joy out of a lot of things, and one is making things! I found your blog a while back Natalie and I really enjoy it. Hope you'll check out my new blog http://ginasbeautyfromashes.blogspot.com/ My email is ginasears62@gmail.com
I adore the Aztec crossbody bag!! The small little red buds on our oak tree bring me joy. It's a small sign that spring is coming after a harsh winter (I live in MI).
I just purchased the tote bag from her and I'm so excited to get it! It would be awesome to have a little zipper clutch to go along with it:) relaxing on a warm Saturday morning, listening to music and drinking coffee with my hubby :))
Ummm….these are AH-MAZING!! Two things that are bringing me great joy in this current season: 1) when Mikey (my hubs) can make it home for lunch – such a treat so see him in the middle of the day & 2) when I catch glimpses of my oldest (who's almost 2.5) playing with / loving on his little brother (who's 7 months)
Watching my toddler discover this big and wonderful world brings me joy, as does a hot mug of coffee in the early morning or a kiss from my husband when he arrives home from work.
I've followed her on Instagram for a while and her bags are beautiful! Seeing my hubby with our daughter brings me a whole lotta joy! We have another on the way and I can't wait to see him with TWO babies! <3 Wyant.michelle@gmail.com
Following already and just liked! earthly things…coffee, crafting, my husband. Heavenly things….knowing that My God is able to do all things and with Him whom shall I fear!
I love every single thing in her shop! Coming home to my family after being away fills my heart with so much joy. Natashalevinger@gmail.com

I follow her in IG & dream daily of owning one of her bags!! My birthday is coming up so I was just browsing her website for like the 10th time, lol. Something that brings me joy…I try to find joy in all those little moments. But to pick one, I'd have to say the relaxing walks with my dog (my fur baby)…she gets so much joy out of such a simple thing. We should all take tips from our pets, they sure know how to enjoy all those little things!
I visited her shop and made a wish list 😉 I also follow her on Instagram and keeping my fingers crossed! April 14th is my birthday and that would be the coolest present to receive! What brings me joy? Hiking with my husband to a spot with a great view of the sunset. Hanging out hammocks up and enjoy the sunset wrapped up in a blanket 🙂 Email: krbailey@my.milligan.edu

I LOVE her bags. Discovered her through you and having been drooling over them ever since.
One thing that brings me joy: when I think of joy, I think of Christ (not trying to go all Sunday school here, but it's true). I think of the joy I have in Him, that "when all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay." No matter what is going on, He is my unshakeable joy.
kntkly@yahoo.com So much joy to be found in so many things, but here lately it's the quiet and mundane that brings me joy… like evenings around our firepit under the stars…
Wow- these bags are ridiculous. That clutch would toss into a diaper bag perfectly… 😉 and then come out for date night etc. without having to switch purses and such. I am now a follower on Instagram! 🙂 Lucy Grace brings me allll the joy right now!!! Even at 2 in the morning. Or 4 in the morning. Or 6. Or at 4 pm when she is screaming and sad. I love her.
Eek! Liked more like loved! Would love to have one of these beauties in my life.
Things that bring me joy…. My preschoolers (I'm a teacher), my coffee in the morning, adventures, my family, sleeping in on Saturdays and rolling over to my snoozing husband (Newly weds! Eek!), finding and creating treasures (I have a love for restoring/repurposing), sunsets and sunrises (I'm a huge fan … I chase the sunset to find the best view), good food, friends, laughing- usually always giggling at something, being together (with friends,with family,etc.), my nest (our tiny studio apt above the house we own and rent … Living simply and being cozy and close … Our walls bring my husband and I closer together and our love grows bigger than this house), grace, my love of cowboy boots, vintage, the colors turquoise and yellow. My list could go on and on (but now I have to get ready for work … Which also bring me joy). Joyful life.
I get joy out of the fact that my husband and I will be celebrating our first year of marriage next month! I'm so happy that God brought someone into my life for me to share happy and sad moments with 🙂
I'm in trouble, I love everything in her shop! Following on IG now. My family brings me joy, two little ones and an amazing husband. Doesn't get better then that for me. Email is bhaggard08@gmail.com

Love her shop! And am now an instagram follower. One new thing that brings me joy…my daughter and I started walking to school in the morning last week. It's a joyful way to start my morning–especially this time of year. The springtime colors are beautiful!
Joy bringers: my granddaughter discovering the joy of Easter, my children, my grandbaby on the way, my hubby, new morsels of truth in the scripture, sunshine, too many to list!
I'm expecting the brand-new Alabama Chanin book in the mail today, which brings me great joy. Thanks for introducing me to this shop. That Arrow clutch is YES!!!! bekwales at gmail. 🙂

I already follow her and her husband on instagram. Love their creations! I liked the shop on FB, visited the shop (love the crossover bags!). Right now, spring is bringing me joy. Soooo glad everything is growing and blooming again! lisaritscher(at)outlook(dot)com
I followed on IG and liked on FB… My email address is jennygilley@hotmail.com My joy comes from simple things, like the dust that sparkles in the morning sun rays…
That first smile from my boys when they wake up in the morning and I tell them "GOODMORNING SUNSHINE!" I dread the day that their mornings get less cheery and they yell from under the covers that they are too tired to get up… I never did that to my dad or anything! I love all the bags in Beckys shop… LOVE!!! Dakotarodgers10@gmail.com
One thing that brings me joy is seeing the love of learning that is developing in my kindergarteners. Seeing them excited about reading and adding is one important thing that brings me immense joy.
I love the clutches!! One thing that brings me so much joy is kissing my two year old's soft, chubby cheeks! Margaret.luukkonen@gmail.com

U have been such an inspiration to me!!! ~Morgan taylybird91@yahoo.com

I already follow and like her. I recently treated myself to one of her beautiful wristlets and I am so in love with it and would love to add another one of her beautiful bags to my collection.
One thing that brings me joy is my family. I am originally from the UK but currently living in California. My husband has been posted here with the British military. I don't get to see my family much, I have seen them once in the past 22 months but just seeing their faces on skype and being able to keep in constant contact with them through technology today makes me so happy and helps me not to feel homesick and so far away from them. kirsty.emblen@hotmail.co.uk
An ice cold Diet Coke brings me so much joy regardless of the season, weather, place, or time of day. Bless the makers of Diet Coke!
TBS's products are so lovely!

I love following her IG! She does such beautiful work. One thing that brings me joy… right now, it's my twin nephews, and a perfect vanilla latte in the morning. ^_^ My email is jenna {dot} hermle {at} gmail {dot} com.
I checked out her shop and I am DYING over the cross body bags! I follow her on IG for the behind the scenes peeks and it's amazing. Right now, spending time with my parents brings me so much joy. My mom has breast cancer and I love all the time that I'm able to spend with my family.
I love your blog! One thing that brings me joy is my baby boy. (that rhymed hehe!) He is 2 months old today and I love watching him grow and change all the time.
Visited her cute shop, and liked on Facebook! I find joy in the new little bits of green that are popping up through the cold soil around our home. There's still bits of snow throughout our yard, so seeing little buds on my hydrangea shows me that there's still grace through the crappy stuff. reva@daughterziondesigns.com

My biggest joy-my beautiful, spunky, kind little girl.
One thing that fills up my heart is watching my husband teach my wee son how to start and nourish seeds. We've go spinach growing now and they're both so excited by it! Love seeing this double circle of life!
(liked & followed) I've loved Becky's work since you first posted about your tote! Watching the daffodils outside our home pop through the ground and continue to grow daily brings me joy. They're getting ready to bloom!
Love love love her bags and clutches. Following her on Instagram and facebook. I love your blog and photos as well. Something that brings me joy… My sweet little family<3. Have a great day!

Seeing folks use their talents and pursue their dreams such as crafting and creating a business brings me joy. Marianne mrmenk@shaw.ca

cryswe1@yahoo.com Follow on IG, Facebook, and visited her shop. My family, backyard chickens, and flowers and veggies gardens bring me much joy 😀 I love all things God has provided me with in life. Thanks for the opportunity
I liked, followed and fell in love with her shop when I first began sewing- she stood as an inspiration to me since I'm such a beginner! The thing that brings me the greatest joy is spending time outside enjoying my Creator- being with people I love makes it even better!

Hi there! My 3 boys bring me joy….they drive me crazy but they do bring immense joy–lol! 🙂
Hi thanks for this 🙂 I enjoy crafting ,praying, eating healthy and organic foods and also spending time with my grandparents and they are in their 90s and I make me realize time is precious!
spring weather brings me joy! I am a spring baby and they warmer weather, blue skies, birds singing, flowers blooming fill me with immense happiness. 😀
And I have a mad crush on the barefoot seamstress' work! thank you for introducing her to your readers.
Love The Barefoot Seamstress! Food is totally my love language 🙂 and cooking for the people I love brings me so much joy. For my birthday all I wanted to do was cook a big brunch for my whole family at my parents' house while I was visiting them with my little family. The best! Carolynchristine4@gmail.com

Oh my, her shop has the cutest things!! I have a feeling that now that I follow her instagram account I will end up loving her stuff even more.
One thing that brings me joy at the moment is traveling and that it entails: planning + doing research + waiting excitedly + experiencing new places!! I can't wait to see more of the world and I love traveling in the spring + fall!
Joy is my word this year. I used to think of joy and think that in order to be joyful I had to be happy and smiling, well that's just not life. I realized that joy isn't about circumstances but a choice. So I'm learning to choose joy no matter what the circumstance is and navigating on what that looks like.
Now that I'm at home with my baby girl, it lights up my day when I get a funny little text hello from my husband while he's at work. I get so much joy out of completing tasks that I know will make him happy, like a clean stack of jeans in the closet or his favourite meal on the table.

I already follow and adore her bags, so consider me part of the club! Thanks so much for offering up one of those amazing clutches! One thing that gives me joy — when a customer writes to tell me how much they adore their new piece of jewelry. It means the world to me! Molly – molly@rockthatgem.com
Wow!! I love this so much. One thing that brings me such joy these days is mentos peppermint gum. I looooooove pure peppermint so much. (I've been know to sneak whiffs of the peppermint oil regularly). 🙂 jeremyandshelly@gmail.com
I am following her on IG & just visited her shop! Amazing! Super excited for this giveaway – crossing my toes! 😉 one thing that brings me joy is my 15wk old baby boy learning how to laugh. He was the biggest surprise to my husband and I, but oh, what a happy surprise that was! We are just obsessed with him and his little high pitched, open mouth giggles. brenaebradley@gmail.com http://Www.urbanelanding.com

following her on facebook and tooled around her shop for a bit. I can see why you are smitten with her bags; they are gorgeous!!!! one thing that brings me joy: when it's just me and the sunrise. The quiet of a house full of people asleep, and me with my hands wrapped around my first cup of fresh coffee, alternating between reading my Bible and watching the day wake up – it usually only happens on Sunday mornings, and I sooooo look forward to it! frameofdust.at.hotmail.com

One thing that brings me joy – that first sip of freshly brewed hot coffee in the morning. It's a huge cliche, I know, but it's just… so… perfect.
Too bad coffee insists on going cold so quickly, but! But that first sip!
Magic.

That first smile from my boys when they wake up in the morning and I tell them "GOODMORNING SUNSHINE!" I dread the day that their mornings get less cheery and they yell from under the covers that they are too tired to get up… I never did that to my dad or anything! I love all the bags in Beckys shop… LOVE!!!

I already follow and like her. I recently treated myself to one of her beautiful wristlets and I am so in love with it and would love to add another one of her beautiful bags to my collection.
One thing that brings me joy is my family. I am originally from the UK but currently living in California. My husband has been posted here with the British military. I don't get to see my family much, I have seen them once in the past 22 months but just seeing their faces on skype and being able to keep in constant contact with them through technology today makes me so happy and helps me not to feel homesick and so far away from them.

Joy is my word this year. I used to think of joy and think that in order to be joyful I had to be happy and smiling, well that's just not life. I realized that joy isn't about circumstances but a choice. So I'm learning to choose joy no matter what the circumstance is and navigating on what that looks like.
