Happy eighth night of Hanukkah, everyone!
Turn the heat down, because all those candles will heat the room and light every corner. You can’t hide the latkes, either – it’s bright enough to do surgery. (Eating fried potatoes is certainly preferable, though.)
Ready for our last night of giveaway? I hope so! Here we go!
Today’s Hanukkah giveaway is:
A kate spade Mulberry Street Lise bag in Antilles pebbled leather. “Antilles” is a lovely rosy pink color.
This bag is 7.8″ high, 11.5″ wide, and 4.5″ deep. The straps have a 4.5″ drop, but there is also an adjustable leather strap with a total length of 45″. It’s a satchel style with an interior zipper, plus two front and back slide pockets with snaps.
It’s lovely and sturdy and a beautiful pink – and the perfect size to hold everything you need, including and especially books!
Ready to enter? Excellent! Just tell us what you’re hoping for in the new year. A lifetime supply of gin? A new bathtub in which to make a lifetime supply of gin? Peaceful nights and quiet days? Slippers that always keep your feet warm? Serious, silly, both – doesn’t matter!
Standard disclaimers apply: I am not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Open to international residents were permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18 and ready to look fabulous while carrying a fabulous bag. Many pockets mean lots of places to carry your books and/or your e-reader. Chance of cat also liking this bag: 62.7%. Comments will close Wednesday 20 December at or near 12pm ET, and winner will be announced shortly afterward.
Good luck, Happy Hanukkah, and thank you for being part of Smart Bitches!
Hanukkah is partially about hope and miracles, so I’m wishing for wonderful new years for everyone here, there, and everywhere.
WINNER UPDATE: The winner of our final night of Hanukkah-palooza is Tammy! Be sure to check your email inbox and spam folders.
And thank you all for a lovely year!
I hoping to remain cancer free and also to make a dent in my TBR pile!!
I hope to spend more time with my grandkids, get my sewing room organized, and catch up on my reading. And, I’m hoping to do all of that with a Kate Spade purse on my arm! Happy New Year!
I really really hope that somehow I will have enough funds to go to the British Filk Con.
And also for Pullman’s Book of Dust not to suck. (I won’t be able to buy it until the New Year. No spoilers!)
I hope for enlightened minds to prevail in these dangerous times.
I hope for more peace of mind and opportunities to travel in 2018 – especially overseas.
I’m hoping for clarity of purpose (and a fabulous handbag to go with it). Happy holidays, smart bitches.
I hope for a new job. May 2018 turn out to be the year where things change for the better.
I hope for a new boyfriend.
Happy holidays!
I’m hoping for motivation to finish all the projects I need to get done.
Hoping for health and wisdom dealing with our squishy newborn daughter 🙂
I’m hoping for an end to all the stupid side effects of my health issues (insomnia, fatigue and cold chills)once my treatment is finished and to be able to set some serious boundaries when I return to work.
I’m hoping my family has continued good health and for the world to be a more peaceful place to live in! Thank you very much for the chance to win this awesome prize, you ladies are always beyond generous with your giveaways! Happy Hanukkah!
I’m hoping that, miraculously, one by one, the members of the current US administration will find themselves unable to continue in office, and that people who are not evil and/or insane will take their places.
Alternately, it would be great if my mother would finally agree that she needs a hearing aid, and the gets one.
I’m hoping to be able to read all the books and have the budget to buy them.
And if it’s possible – World Peace.
Thanks for this great giveaway.
I hope I will be able to get back to do some knitting designs.
I’m hoping for my mom to remain cancer free and for the world itself to be less of a dumpster fire.
I’m hoping to live more aligned with my values (spend more quality time with my family, be better about spending quality time with friends, etc). I just changed careers, too, so I’m hoping to do well in my new profession. So far I really love teaching, but I need to catch up on my gradebook!
I am hoping to be employed, figure out what to do with my life, and finish some sewing projects in 2018
I’m hoping for better health, or, at least, enough energy and drive to take control of the situation with my health care team. Sorta the same thing with work. If things don’t improve, I want the resolve to get off my butt and be proactive. (Easier said than done when you feel like crap and just want a familiar routine, no matter how bad it is.)
Thank you for all the wonderful Hanukkah giveaways and the opportunities to share thoughts (like confession time about our stashes!) with all the other SBs.
here’s hoping I use up my fabric stash.
I am hoping for the chance to travel more, and for safe travels that I already have planned.
I’m hoping for less stress and more reading time!
I had a really rough 2017, and so I am hoping to have a decent year for 2018. No family sick or dying, for sure. I’d also like to really work on getting a handle on my finances.
Hoping for less stress and more free time!
I’m hoping to finally run my third marathon!
Peace love and books
I hope my father, who will turn 83 in February, continues to find joy in running his own business, maintains his ability to drive, enjoys good health, and knows that he is my inspiration for a life well lived.
I want any big change, Sometimes I feel my life is pretty static.
I’m hoping the climate of hate and fear in this country will change to a climate of respect and brotherhood/sisterhood.
2017 was a baaaaad year for me–job loss, family health uncertainty, new job stress, graduate school stress, diet coming off the rails threatening to undo eight years of hard work…yeah. So my hope for 2018 is that I finally get things back on track.
Oh, and if my second trip to NYC could be as awesome as my first one, that would be good, too. 😀
Hmm, I hope to dig into my craft projects and start a new job this spring. And maybe get to Italy for my brother’s wedding!
Nothing big! Just steady employment for my husband and Middle East peace 🙂
A healthy year with no health surprises.
I was going to say “make healthy chpices”, but I read the gin part, so now I’m going with that!
I hope that a real democracy will be restored in my country. I hope we will all live with respect for others and that we will all care for each other, especially those weaker or discriminated.
Calm. 2017 has been full of changes, I honestly need a break.
Hoping I can get my schedule more organized to fit my walks and jogs back in. I’ve seriously fallen off the exercise wagon!
I’m hoping to travel more. We’ve got trips planned to California and Alaska so it should come true.
Hoping for things to calm down and for a happy routine to develop.
I am hoping for more grandkids in the new year since that is what my daughter wants.
