Mother’s Day Giveaway from Barnacle Designs!

I mean seriously, who wouldn’t love to receive a package like this in the mail?

Last Summer, my friend Shelley, made (then mailed) my girls these darling packages.Shelley and I met in Virginia, Years later, we both ended up moving west. I landed in Utah, Shelley in sunny Cali.

Inside the beautiful wrapping? An array of darling zipper pouches! Hand-made by Shelley. Who used to walk the hallways at church with me, bouncing one of these twin girls in her arms!

 

Aren’t they adorable?

This typewriter pouch was love at first sight for Liza!

 

Shelley even included one for me!

And I love it.

I put jewelry in it then tuck it into my suitcase when traveling. I put pens in it and little notebooks for quick access in my purse.

Her pouches come in all kinds of sizes so you can use them for makeup, electronics, iPhones, wallets, knitting… basically anything you want to find quickly in a purse, diaper bag, backpack, or suitcase so you don’t have to dig for it!

She can even make you a laptop cover like this one! ⬇️  Swoon!

 

Shelley’s zipper pouches come in all kinds of cheerful fabrics.

Now for the fun part…

Now, in case your curious, here’s the story behind Barnacle Designs.

And a word from Shelley about why pouches make the perfect Mom gift:”The absolute best way to keep your purse, diaper bag, or gym bag organized is with smaller bags so you can keep similar items together. In my purse I like to keep three main zipper pouches. One is for “fixing” myself on the run. I keep a powder compact, a mini hairbrush, some elastics and bobby pins, a couple of lip glosses, and a roller ball of my favorite perfume, Tocca Florence. I think of the second pouch as my “first aid kit,” because I keep a few bandaids, a small tissue pack, a bottle of Advil and Tylenol (yep, they are mixed together in one bottle), eye drops, some of those toothpick harp thingies and a small hand lotion. Maybe hand lotion should be in the beauty bag but by the time I notice my hands are all dry and yucky it seems like a first aid emergency. I keep the last bag for colored pens. This is just my personal happy bag because I love opening it and seeing all those pretty pens when I want to make a note in my planer or when I need to take notes at a meeting. It’s a small pleasure, but being able to easily find what I need in my bag gives me a little feeling of control that I really enjoy.”
