Tracy Porter Blog… be inspired!

Oh how lovely!!! Of course, I will tell my friends and family! who wouldn’t want a perfect little gem like this. Selfishly, yes, I must be honest…..not one to deceive. I would keep her for myself. The color is divine and summery good. In the words of Dr. Seuss….”Oh, the Places you’ll Go.” I have been needing a new handbag, and just haven’t found the right one. Well….here it is!! Best of luck to all, and yes, I will spread the word. I feel sure that my friends will feel equally passionate that they would look so stylish with this little number on their arm!!
Much love and thanks for the give away.

i will share and red is my favorite color…

Hmmmm…I think I would end up keeping this ravishing red number!

The word that came to mind is: purrrrrrr! (imagine lots of rolling r’s!). This purse is absolutely DIVINE! This will go with anything. And as Spring comes to us here in Texas (82* here yesterday)I love looking for that perfect accessory that makes me smile and sing! This is it!!! Thanks for all you do Tracy to make us smile and sing!
Happy Spring!

Bonjour Tracy

Oh lala !

We are having a snow storm today !

So I will tell to all my friend and girls how lovely is your springy bag and how an inspiring lady you are !

Kisses and hugs

Bonne journée !

Hello Tracy…..new fallen snow and my world is a soft presence…..so to you I give a little whistle and as JC would say…..let your conscience be your guide….XOXOXOX……

This purse is so wonderful and I love that it has your name on it…..remember what LadyDi said about aura colors…………each person has a nature that can radiate colors, but only some people can see them…..RED…Red is used as a symbol of courage and sacrifice, as in blood spilt in sacrifice or courage in the face of lethal danger…. Examples of this are found in the flags of ALL NATIONS……In Christianity, red is the liturgical color for the feast of martyrs, representing the blood of those who suffered death for their faith….Red catches people’s attention, and can be used either in a negative way to indicate danger and emergency, or in a positive way in advertising to gain more viewers, or in nature, as a ripe fruit announces its readiness with its red color…. Studies have indicated that red carries the strongest reaction of all the colors…AND SHARON NASHVILLE…YOU will like this one the Chinese say IT IS the color of..courage, loyalty, honor, success, fortune, fertility, happiness, passion, and wealth, beauty…..SO if I had this RED BUCKET LIST…..I would give it to my Step-daughter….she is a wounded 46 year bird…..who needs to know and have this RED….radiate from her….so she can mend….and be productive, postive and KNOW THERE IS AND CAN BE A FUTURE!!!!!~~~~

HUGS TO ALL AND SMELLING THOSE CHEESEBURGERS….HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!+++++++

Wow! What a beautiful bag! I have no shame in admitting I would keep it for myself if I won it!

is there anything better than a shiny new bag? only a one of a kind Tracy Porter new bag!

count me in! i’ll spread the word!

OH FORGOT……….I AM SENDING UP THE AIRPLANES WHO WRITE IN THE SKY…..SINGING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS…..over the roar of the engines……as I WRITE not my name but….WENDY’S NAME…….she needs the energy………..she needs this purse….for her bucket list of dreams…to know she can conquer….ANYTHING….I will put nibbles of wisdom and words, arms or warmth….so her brain will not be numb anymore into this RED PURSE EACH DAY…dropped in when she is not aware…folded notes with tiny bows tied around it and a smell of goodness!!!………………..

Are you kidding me? That bag is so cool! At a loss for words. So much more girlie than I am, I would surely keep her to make me feel so lady like. Though I may lend her to my big sis, the ultimate shoe and purse girl, as she would be envious! This is as awesome of a bag as the gorgeous green one you had a while back. The red is superb! Almost a shame that there is only one!

Ok, I would be carrying this bag – in opera – on my trip to Santa Barbara in March!! My husband and I and our two daughters (Samantha age 4 and Alexandra age 11) are spending one whole week in Santa Barbara inspired by Tracy’s trip to the Bacara Resort last year! We haven’t taken a vacation like this EVER! Really, this is a once in a liftime trip for our family and we are all over the top excited about it! (My oldest daughter has a countdown on the fridge!) Of course BEFORE booking the flight and making reservations I called the store to make sure they would be open that week – I talked to George, who was so sweet by the way, who said that they plan to be open, but even took my number in case something happened and they would not be open for some reason! I wasn’t able to make the fall gathering, but I figure this will be the closest thing! I would christen this bag on the trip and carry in it all the essentials needed, especially my camera to take plenty of pictures to share with everyone, including all of you girls on the blog! Winning this bag would definitely be the icing on the cake for me! xoxo

gorgeous!!! I plan to share this with my sister. She’s a single mom who never gets to splurge on herself and she deserves something cheery and special
thanks for the chance to make her day!

Amazing. Fantastic. Gorgeous. Funky. Fun. Who wouldn’t be all those thing with this bag! I couldn’t pass this beauty on, it would have to be all mine… I’ll be spreading the word!

omg! just what i’ve been looking for! that beauty has room for all the treasure to fit! of course, that’s what my oldest daughter said when i showed her the pic…so if it happened to show up on my doorstep, i would probably share it with her (translation: i might get to use it once )
thanks for all your sweet inspiration!

Love the bag and the color — would definitely keep it for me !

This bag is gorgeous! It really speaks to me and I love your design style. You are very inspiring! Thank you for this opportunity

I would give this lovely red bag to my younger sister who
just found out she is pregnant with her second baby (secretly hoping for a girl…we have all boys) …maybe the red will be the luck we need! It will be her second baby both under the age of two and she is in her young 40′s!
The other day she was complaining about carrying her 15month old…while lugging a huge diaper bag. I told her she needed a smaller….more stylish bag to carry the few necessities. Don’t you just think this luscious red bag is what she needs?…I do!

Please oh please, please, please…I wanna win this one!! I love the lush color and that wink of turquoise!! I do love purses and it looks like I could keep EVERYTHING I ever wanted to carry in that one!!
I’ll cross my fingers!!

Ok so here is the truth……..I have lots of bags in many styles and colors but,I don’t have a fabulous red bag because I could never find the perfect one, well, needless to say this beauty created by my favorite designer…..yes!!!!!! this is the one for sure!!!!!!!!!!! I would be honored to own it, and would were it with pride……..and of course…..I would do my lips to match!xxxxxxxx FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my OPERA!!!!!!!!!!!xoxoxoRach

Woowaaa!I’m picking out a thermos for you not just any little thermos for you!!! Isn’t she a beaut! Someone shall be the cats meow totin that shinny goodness around! Does it have pockets for sippy cups? Ohhh how I love pockets and compartments and zippers and red and turquoise and gold Yum Yum Yum. I shall spread the word of her uniqueness too all! Thank you for your wonderful generosity your a true gem Misses P. Have a wonderful time at your conference, oh how I wish I could sprout wings and fly there! Will it be available on DVD if so sign me up! I am the grand master creator of everything chaotic that seems to be all I’m creating lately! Gotta go it involves children, baggies of cereal, and large smelly hairy old dog, never a dull moment around here! Good luck to all you lovely ladies!! Cheers and happy Friday too all!

“Oh….A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine dooowwwn”….I sing in true Mary Poppins form. This bag is amazing and the color divine. I know it will have a wonderful medicinal effect of everyone who sees it!

YO, YES!!!! They say you “lead with your bag” and this is a SHOW STOPPER…. fill up that front pocket with TP cards….conversations will abound! Plunk this BEAUTY down and SOAR with confidence!!!!

ok… this is meant to be. the name of my freelance design business is Ruby Sky Design and this bag is exactly the color of a gorgeous sky at sunset. Aaaannd, these are my absolute most favorite two colors in the world: that beautiful persimmon orangey-red and turquoise. they’re all over my house. Plus, and this is a big plus at the moment, this bag fits my requirements for any must have bag at the moment: large enough to hold some diapers, wipes and bottle for miss Gemma when we’re on the go and still be fabulously stylish. I need this bag!! (and just why is this beauty one of a kind and not available to the masses??!?!? just a sample that was made? I’d say it needs to go into production, judging from everyone’s response to it!!)
HEATHER – love the Steve Martin/Thermos quote. ah, how i love that part of the movie.

I think you should give it to someone who is going to keep it and carry it with pride, with the logo showing… and talk about it and spread the word about our Tracy and about how she got the purse. Someone who will tie a scarf around it and thinks it goes with everything. Someone who cuddles it with love like it’s her baby. If you give it away to one who is going to give it away, it could end up in a closet unused, unappreciated, uncared for…and that would be a shame. Lolo, I know you love your step daughter and want her to be different than she is….but that’s an inside job and all the love in the world is not going to change that. She’s gotta wanna change. You have such a big heart and you want her to enjoy her one life more and be happy, but all you can really do is love her the way she is. It’s out of your control. You deserve the bag, but please keep it for yourself. xoxoxo

Tracy, I received the beautiful clogs yesterday – ooh la la – I just wanted to sleep in them! Gorgeous. Everything is so well presented on your website (pictures, videos) but nothing is like seeing the fabrics in person. Wish I lived near one of your stores! Also, I have mentioned before that I have looked for years to find clothes like yours…..but I have also searched for years for the perfect margarita recipe. It is a constant joke in my family. There she goes again, experimenting with margaritas. So please tell John he is my other new best friend. Tried them last night – oh yeah kudos to the margarita king! I can finally be a peace!
Took my granddog, Norman the puggle, on a delicious walk this a.m. Our golden retriever died two years ago so we basically share custody of Norman with my daughter! We just tell him it is time to go to Gran’s summer camp, Christmas camp, etc. Anyway, a morning walk with a furry friend is like heaven to me. I love anything animals. I decorate my house like an animal, I dress like an animal (mostly leopard). My Dad is always asking me if I will ever get tired of leopard. I tell him only if someone extracts my soul! ha So the morning walk is a time to reflect on the day spiritually and what I want to accomplish. I try to think of one nice thing I want to do for someone whether it is just a phone call, a note, email, whatever. While walking I was also thinking of how wonderful it would be if all people enjoyed the simple pleasures like dogs do. I was reminded of Fascination Inspiration and I decided that even dogs enjoy fascination in their own way so I decided from now on I will tell (no sing) to Norman that we are going on his Fascination Elimination walk. Because that is truly what gets our furry friend going – marking, marking, marking. I don’t know how he holds so much in that little tank of his.
So you see, Tracy, you are implanted in my brain now. I play you over and over like a favorite song in my mind.
Do have a glorious day! Oh, the bag is oh so Tracy. Definitely rocks!

Turquoise earrings in the box,
a ring too cool to say,
black, studded rocker boots
and a gorgeous table on the way.
I can’t be greedy, I can’t want more!
Oh yes I can! The beautiful purse,
arriving at my door!

What a beautiful bag! I just started a job and this is the perfect bag- polished but fun- practical (with all the pockets) but a fashion statememt! I would carry it everywhere! People would stare, women would be green with envy over this coral bag, and I would send up a thank you to Tracy Porter for her generocity!

Oh Tracy, I must confess, I believe I would have to keep that gem for myself. I love bright colored purses……the brighter, the bigger, the more beautiful they are!

Accessories always fit Tracy, and will this accessory FIT!
With the ups and downs of weight I seek comfort in my friends Handbags, Jewels and Shoes…Much to my dismay RA is setting in, and The shoes and jewels (at least rings) are not working well for me now, but boy oh boy would this bag certainly perk up a Gray Boston Day!
Thanks for the opportunity to bond with this faboooo accessory! xo

good morning. that bag is fabulous. i still remember my first pair of patent leather shoes and they were in red– after that anything shiny, with fresh colors seems to fly into to my closet ( or my mom’s). I love to buy her fun items she would not buy for herself. anyway, this purse goes wonderfully with a jacket i bought from tracy porter ( on sale) a few years ago. long duster in turquoise, reddish flowers along the side. you really don’t what to know what I actually carry sling over my shoulder now ( old and beat up leather backup), but it works.
happy friday,love your stuff!

tracy,
thank you for inspiring me each day and teaching us how to love ourselves!
This incredibly delicious bag would be the perfect bag in my life! It’s bold and beautiful and can hold all of my treasures for work, i am a high school teacher as well as my personal belongings…
yeah, i hope i win it!!

Good morning everyone.. What a wonderful day in California with the gift of snow in the foothills. A rare treat.
Tracy, your purse is so beautiful and immediately reminded me of my sweet mom. Her birthday is around the corner and she will be 93 years young! I truly mean that in every sense of the word. Among all her other activities and clubs she belongs to, she also is a member of a local tap dancing troupe. The ladies perform in our area at various senior centers and fair events. Her spirit and energy are contagious and so incredible to everyone that meets her. My husband always tells her that he married me to get to her! She loves that! I would definetly give this beautiful bag to her because it perfectly reflects her energy and love of fun! She has been talking about needing a new bag to take with her to dance practice. This one would be the talk of the “Senior Flappers” troupe! A blessed day to all and a fantastic weekend!

Awesome bag! Although I’m not a ‘red’ person, I would definitely keep it for myself …would accent my clothing wonderfully! I always receive compliments on TP clothing when worn. It makes my day….. Thanks Tracy for being so inspiring!

SMASHING BAG!!!

What a perfect bag with all the pockets for my upcoming trip across the pond! (I have been pondering what bag to carry!!!) And please fill up those wonderful pockets with TP cards, as I know with that delicious color it will be sure to attract attention!!! And the color combination in my absolute FAVORITE!!!! So Tracy, get cracking on shipping to the UK!!! It will be time to spread your SPECIAL FAIRY DUST across the pond!!!!! What a DELIGHT that would be!!!!!!!
(Hubby just told me last night that he has been asked to send in his resume for a position in London…..who knows, what the future could hold!!!!) So come FLY with me BABBBBBBBBIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Forget LONDON walls, think LONDON STORE!!!!!! Now wouldn’t that be a trip for the BLOGGETTES!!!!!!!!!!! I’m TWIRLING!!!!!! I’m TWIRLING!!!!!!
On another note, today is GO TEXAN DAY!!!! Today is the day that everyone across Houston dresses for work and school in their finest Rodeo dress in honor of the trail riders riding into town for the start of the Houston Livestock and Rodeo. Its such a fun day to drive around town and see the trail riders on horse back riding into town along the busy highways! The trail riders converge on Memorial Park(where the first George Bush used to run and where the polo fields are) to camp tonight before heading to Reliant stadium for the Rodeo tomorrow! I’m wearing my Chrysalis boots today with jeans tucked in and my Faded Bourbon blouse and a turquoise duster from last year…..gee, if only I had a bright red purse to set it off!!!! (HINT>>>so excited for you and your family going to Santa Barbara!!!!Lucky you!!!!! Know you will have a wonderful time!
Julie>>>>LOVE your creativity!!!!!! You rock, or should I say, opera!!!!! LOL!!!!
VIP>>>>what can I say, you are always the best!
Happy Cheeseburger, Go Texan Day all!!!!! XOXOXOR

OOOOH Tracy! This bag would make a wonderful Easter bag/basket…my girlfriends and I have been collecting those little hotel samples of shampoo soap etc and putting them in those little sheer bags…creating little bundles of goodies for Easter to take to the homeless shelter…wouldn’t it be delightful to have the ladies…the girls…the kids..even the fellas reach in to pull out something?
Seeing this luscious color of orange just gave me an idea…so
We are on the hunt for a few more bright colored bags to haul in the filled plastic eggs too!! And the art supplies that I convinced all my artist friends to donate for the cause…I cannot wait for the “Brightly colored Bag Brigade” to bring on some smiles!
Love love love!!

Mr. Yeats captures my sentiments about Red in one of his poems. He has no financial means to buy his lady gems + purses, but he offers his most prized possession at the time, to his true lady love….his raw, unfettered dreams…”…tread softly because you tread on my dreams….”

I’m dreaming of capturing the eye of my true love, as I am walking the promenade showcasing Lady Red on my arm. Who could resist such a display…now or in centuries past? Me think-eth nobody can resist such a jewel!

Merci,

janine

Oh what a fantastic “pick-me-up”! How could anyone possibly be depressed or in a sour mood with this lovely bag around! This divine treasure will put a skip in someone’s step – what an honor to carry such a fabulous bag!

Tracy, I must have this bag Tracy,
I beg of you please,please, please!
Orange is my new favorite color,
I have looked but found no other,
Oh Tracy please, I love to be racy
this bag is the bomb,
it has stupendous aplomb,
Turquoise and orange my dearest,
along with your Nymph blouse would be the finest,
Sweet Tracy my darling, don’t leave me without.
My heart chirps a song, I chirp it quite loud,
Pick me, Pick me, Pick me my dearheart,
Orange and turquoise, colorful spring bird,
Please, please, please, you must have heard,
Darling Brenda wishes this treasure.
(If I could only perform a Tracy Video for this contest…. You must imagine this sung in great operatic drama,along with an old fashioned silent film in the background, passionate love between woman and purse.It’s classic at best, we all confess, It was love at first sight! Ta Ta. THE END)

Oh my, it looks like part of my blog got cut off…..That’s what I get for being too windy I guess!!!!! JENIFER, I was giving you a shout out about your trip! And TRACY I was telling you how easy it is to pass on your inspirational message every day to friends, family, even strangers whenever they compliment me on my clothes, shoes, purses, scarves, and dishes!!!!!!!It makes me proud!!!! I have even turned my conservative stock broker sister(she’s the ying to my yang so to speak) on to you!!!!!! She’s always teased me for being a 60′s Love Child…..but how excited she was to tell me she was letting her bohemian princess out (I always knew it was in there!) and had ordered several pieces from you!!!!!!
Love and hugs all around, R

I want this Fab bag! All for myself! I want want want it!

I love the color red. It gives me strenght. I have been going thriugh Chemotherapy for almost five years for my Stage IV Cancer. I have lost my hair four times. Most of my hats and scarves are red. The bag would assessorize me and make me feel pretty.
Strange how a small thing like a handbag ,hat, coat or blouse in red can make the difference.
I would be so humble to be the owner of your new bag.
With much joy I submit my chance.

Gorgeous! This is a real beauty and perfect for spring/summer. So roomy…enough space for snacks and drinks so that my little rascals are happy! What a great design and yes, in my best opera…”I WANT IT!”

This bag makes me SING!!!!!!!!!!!! What a GORGEOUS treasure!!!! I NEED that luscious bag! I am torn as to what I’d do… Be selfish and indulge myself and carry it on my arm everyday since it would liFT my mood to heights of GAIETY?? Or gift my beautiful sister so that it can do the same for her??? Either way, my decision couldn’t be wrong and the heart of a girl would be very happy!! xoxo

lalala…Just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down…or in this case…just a poppy, orangeilicious bag would most definitely help the medicine go down!

I would be the talk of town if my fellow Capitola by the Sea folks saw me prancing around with this orangeilicous bag of sunshine!!! AND believe me I would be prancing around and singing…lalala…
SuperCALIfragilisticexpialidocious!

Tracy,
This bag is so fabulous, why oh why don’t you add it to your line? I adore orange…I wear lots of blue and this bag would be a beautiful contrast. I can’t compete with all the amazing and talented women who would win this bag, but I would purchase it….hint, hint…..
Lynn

Tired Mother of 4 seeks new bag…
This bag makes me wanna sing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, even though I’d embarrass my kids!! It would be nice to add a little spice to my daily routine!!! Thanks Tracey for getting me out of the laundry room and making me think of dirty martini’s instead of dirty diapers!!!!!!

What a beautiful big bag. I finally emptied my big yellow bag and put it in the trash. Worn out! I could fill this in 5 minutes. May head to Ripon this afternoon for lunch and a little shopping, wish you and. Robyn were still there. Wisconsin misses you beautiful people.

What a scrumptiously, delectable little treasure… I would have to keep it for my self. But I will definitely share with my friends, family and blog followers of this wonderful gem.

xoxo, Jacque

Oh what luscious things I could put in this bag! Nice and roomy to hold my journal and sketchbook. Yes, I carry them around where ever I go…jotting down my thoughts and cool ideas that I see on my adventures. Even have a little zebra striped, glittered pencil case that holds my art pens. Zebra would go well with the orange bag, don’t you think ladies? Of course it could hold all the usual things we ladies carry – gum, lipstick, credit cards, cell phone, etc. Boring. Would rather find room for more journals, markers, pens and the like…a traveling art and design bag!

Dearest Tracey
My girlfriends and I are all turning the fabulous 50 this year. I would love to share it with them on their birthdays. It would be the Traveling Tracey Handbag! Whoever is 50 gets to keep until the next friend turns 50. I think that would be FAbulous Happy weekend. Kathy

tracy…i have loved your style for a long time…i would give this amazing bag to my daughter, whitney…she would love and cherish it…she is a first year teacher and just found out that all first and second year teachers across the board in her district will not have a contract renewed…such a great middle school teacher she is, full of vibrant energy to give to middle school kids…this bag is totally her and her bright spirit…she would wear it well!

Be still my heart! I know it sounds greedy but of course I would have to keep it! I don’t buy new purses, just thrift store, and sometimes I re-purpose them into a new bag with fringe etc (thanks to TP for her great idea).
I keep looking for an area in the house to paint orange and there just isn’t one, so I would just have to wear it!
xo
CS

what a simply gorgeous handbag (doing a worthy “look at the lipstick red against the turquoise knucklebite!!!”… then removing fist and filling lungs to sing Pucci’s Previously-Unknown Purse Operata! (um,yeah, I think I’d have to keep this gem for myself, giggling often

Gorgeous bag – it looks a deep luscious orange on my screen! My daughter and I would “share” this bag – “share” as in it will most often hang off of her shoulder. She’ll wear it well!

Maria

love, love, LOVE the colors…especially the turquoise liner! simply a keeper!

Oh what a beautiful, shiny bag !!! I love the colors and certainly could use something sunny and shiny to look forward to as Spring arrives (hopefully soon, it’s been a long winter here on the East Coast!)
I would of course tell all my friends but would likely gift it to my beautiful, fashionable 21 year old daughter. Good thing is , she’s a good sharer !!

No need for an opera voice of my own. This handbag will escort me to the grocery store, open the door, and sing for our supper. From there, who knows? I make no promises or plans…

I am a new mother of a 4 month old little boy named Jenson.
Whom I love more than words. But being a new mommy can leave a girl feeling a little drab.
This purse would certainly put a little bounce in my step.
(It could also double as one super stylish baby bag/purse.)
Just a thought!

OHHHHH!!! This bag is so devine! To give her away or keep her for myself? To myself and by my side she would stay! I might even name her, oh what name would she deserve? I would so proudly carry her, and to be THE ONLY ONE!! What a privelage it would be! If she does show up on my doorstep, just rest assure she will be taken greatly care of and she will never be LONELY!!!
Have a great weekend,
Danna Brown

OHHHH MMMYYYYY! She is a luscious beauty! And as much as I would love to have her swinging on my arm….I would have to give it to my oldest sister Brenda. She would look ravishing with this baby! She works hard, is always pleasing everyone else and so deserves a new treasure like that!
TRACY~ I don’t know how you choose…after reading many of the other posts I want so many others to have it too. VALERY’S request for WENDY….JULIE WURR’S cute post….ANNA GILGER….HELLYHELL….RACH-stunning with her hair!….oohhhh I do not envy you having to decide!!! What a fun give-away – thanks!
Happy Friday Everyone!!!

Dear Tracy,

This is the most beautiful piece I have seen on your website ever…every item speaks to a heart, and you have captured mine because of it’s glorious colour inside and out, these are my signature colours…and I know my friends would exclaim….”that is SOOOOO Jacquie!” because of it’s classic and refined lines….and yet still able to stand out from the crowd….I need a little sunshine and joy…having just lost my mama and her extraordinary light…..

Why just one I wonder?? Surely a bag like this needs to grace the arms of a few lovelies….

Madame Butterfly bag!!!

Love to you….

Jacquie Heil

a bag to make even mary poppin’s weak in the knees…, “practically perfect in every way”! i shall be able to pull everything & anything i love & have ever pined for from this magical, big & bright, happy bag [ one Le Charme Accent Table, a Twilight French Cocktail Chair, my Literary Printers Chest, and that to die for Heritage Ottoman~ oh... and one beautiful bouquet of roses ]
~ in my best Dick Van Dyke voice..
♫ “my ‘eart starts beatin’ like a big brass band
Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with Tracy, No wonder that it’s Tracy that we love!”♪

OMG! That bag is delish! I MUST have it!

p.s.
& i shall happily share all the magic pulled from my bag, with family & friends ~ now, wouldn’t that be lovely? but my bag?… nevaaa!

Tracy~ Over night, a thin layer of freshly fallen snow has befallen on our nest of the woods. That fluffy layer just barely covers long spears of daffodils that have been well above the earth a good six inches, some have wee buds just begging to burst forth! I have been sorely teased of springtime’s essence. This bag richly recalls the earth’s awakening … a glorious earthen hue … and this little number would go splendidly with my new Utopia duster!! Sorry, I would be most selfish and keep this gem for myself! )))
Wishing you a weekend overflowing in peace …

Now Tracy this give away thing is catching on!!!!I to would be the one to keep this bag but sing to the mountian tops who the designer is!! The red and turquiose combo are unbelievable. I too would make the purchase!!!! Love it more than words. Thanks TRacy…you are awsome!!!!

Well, this is a stunning little number. Like Jennifer above, I too will be in SB in March for my birthday weekend……..can’t you just see me strolling down the avenue…….with my one of kind Tracy Porter bag……a lovely gift it would be! Opera!

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL! I’m not a big purse carrier but that could chance in a heartbeat! If my best friend who loves big and bold purses admires it enough, I’ll share it with her for special occasions! Telling the world about your wonderful creations.
Thanks for your generosity!
Heavenly Blessings! Cathy

Lordy, lordy, now I’m forty.
Stumbled on beautiful TP dishes, inspired me to finally learn to cook somthing delicious.
I love bright colors and Tracy’s take on fashion, and after all these years it as become my passion.
I own all of her decorating books, and found ways to enhance my house’s looks.
Tracy’s ideas have released my creative soul, to explore a world I was blind to before.
Mary Poppin’s bag was full of magic, and if I don’t win this bag it will be tragic.

The song that comes to mind is “Tangerine” sung by Harry Connick Jr. Wouldn’t this brighten up my drab Mom-ness of uniform black, grey and navy! It might hold a few diapers and snacks but how fantastic it will look!

Hi Tracy,
It’s cheeseburger Friday!!! Yeah. The bag is fabulous. I love it and although I’d love to keep it for myself I would give it to my older sister. She’s turning the big 50 and dreading every minute of it. My other sister and I are surprising her and flying down to Texas to take her out on the town. Spa, mani, pedi – the works. She never does anything for herself and is the kind of woman who would give you the shirt off her back and the last nickel in her pocket. She doesn’t have very much money and never asks for anything. She’s creative, giving and a fabulous mother. I want to make her birthday special.
Laura
PS: My new adventure is starting soon. I’m going to another agency in Chicago that’s a start up. It’s been quite successful so it’s could be an amazing adventure. It was a nerve racking decision to make but I’ve made the leap. Thanks for the inspiration! Have a great weekend.

Cameoxoxoxo

Oh how lovely!!! I’d want to carry this from the crook of my elbow but I have a sweet sister who needs a MAJOR PICK ME UP and I’d let her do the carrying if I win… she deserves it!

that bag loves me – no really she does – she is calling my name = can’t you hear her? “Gina, Gina, Gina!”

I must have this bag!!! I love it!!! It would be a joy to carry this beautiful fireball purse. I would keep it of course, but my purses are never mine alone. They house many my of my sons items, cars, crayons, snacks etc. So I will share it.

Hugs,

Patty

Oh TRACY, I must admit I would gift this tres chic little number to myself!!!!! It would be a perfect birthday gift, which I will be celebrating next week!!!! I have been working really hard, back to school in my 40′s to become a teacher. Carrying this spicy handbag would be an enchanting change from a backpack of books. I was just thinking the other day OH how I regret never purchasing the kelly green croco bag you sold a couple of years ago!!!! I need to add a spark to my neglected grey/black attire and toting this gem is the ticket back to the land of inspirational color!!!!!! Oh I can only dream…. I will be the lucky one to recieve this AMAZING SPARKLER to charm the grey sky of Seattle away!!!!

As a music and theatre critic who stashes programs in an ugly tote (hate the tote, love the programs), I would love to befriend this bag. She would travel on my arm, out on the town at night to be oohed and aaahed over by many.

BTW: Missy Le Handbag would be photoed and bragged (oops, I mean blogged) about to 4300 FB friends and a lot of blog readers. Just sayin’

Tracy, your books are in a special spot on my bookcase as inspiration when my own creativity is low. They never fail to bring a smile and get the ideas flowing. Thanks for sharing your artist self with us!!! Love your work and play.

OH, TRACY!!! I’m about to cry here. I just posted on WHY I would LOVE this gorgeous red and turquose purse, and how I never try to win anything, and would never resort to begging or getting on bended knee to have something from a give-a-way,BUT THAT THIS awesome TP purse is so pulling on my heart strings, I LOVE< LOVE< LOVE it….and of course, AS I DO ALL of my TRACY PORTER bags…I would soooooo show this bag off. I took the big orange travel tote to France last summer. I drool over the green bag I have with the purple lining….SOOOO I am one who truly appreciates the lining as much as anything……to have RED & TURQUOISE together, my two fav colors, as I've mentioned before on a post here….well, "BE still my heart!!!" Anyway, I poured my heart out and then hit the "post" button and it said "THere was an ERROR and couldn't post my first comment try!" I just about cried because it was the perfect post to win your heart over. And now I am trying one more time to post. Anyway, I would appreciate, and love this as much as YOU do. I will show it off proudly. And RED looks great on moi. It's my color! For the first time ever, I'm actually uttering…."Please choose me!" I only do that because I reeeeally LOVE this purse.

I HOPE whoever you choose LOVES it as much….and well, How fun and lovely and lucky they'd be to have it.

BTW, My birthday is Mar 5. Hey, A birthday gift from Tracy?!!

Thank You, TRACY for your generosity to your readers, and fans!

XO JennyKy

Oh I WISH I WISH I WISH….this beauty to be mine♥
The color is absolutely perfection, and then you add the turquoise lining…SWOON!!!! I have been adding an orange color POP around my home with a touch of turquoise, so I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this bag!!! ONE very lucky lady will be sporting her very soon…oooh I hope it’s me!!
xoxo

Pick me! Pick me! How amazing is that bag! Love Love Love!

Dear Tracy (good name)
I need something new and shiny to get out of this February blah slump I’m in. Give it to the girl who shares the same name as you! I’ll wear it proudly! xox

Is it just me? I see a tantalzing, juicy citrus orange! The kind that sets off those juices that come pouring into your mouth when you imagine something succulent and sweet (and just a tad sour…it makes the sweet sweeter!)I am a TP fan and longtime customer that has enjoyed watching the show from a window seat…reading the blogs and imagining where everyone sits when they write in, what is next to them…a cup of spiced plum tea (herbal and a kiss of death to my afternoon as it makes me forget whatever was on my “to do” list that day!). I would carry this citrussy gem myself–I’ve so loved responding to comments about all of my TP favorites—of course, fun to get a comment but a tasty opportunity to share what I clearly see as the REAL reason TP exists…to help women to know that they are unique, that they are creative and spiritual and ENOUGH…just by being and loving all those in their lives. That is our gift to the world..that we love so much and give so much—this bag? For me.. because I KNOW someone will comment and then I get to direct another woman to more of TP…where they will surely fall in…and amongst the color, the texture, the playful feathers and bits of treasure…find joy in being what they already are…my TP things are simply “the hook”…there is more there than meets the eye…

Oh, my what a heartbreaker!! I would be spreading the work in style!! However, I see this bag on my computer screen as ORANGE, not red!! Am I colorblind!? No kidding…could be and don’t know it!! The clincher is…it doesn’t matter..so lovely..Such an original design…theh turquiose liner a winner!!

p.s. Oh, I would be keeping this one for me…a spring and summer stunner!!

Dear Tracy,

I would love to keep this for myself. I am an aspiring opera singer and this would sure turn heads when I walk in the door! …a sweet song it IS! And so “now” in the fashion world- well done!

Cheers!
Sarah

love is in the air

cheers~

Greetings from the Studio Sweet BIRDS!

What an absolutely marvelous burst of chatter here on the Tracy Porter BLOG Today..!! WE LOVE IT!! Oh the charms of a free PURSE!! I’m chiming in…. as there seems to be some mystery surrounding the exact color of our exotic lovely… let me throw some adjectives your way.. TANGY – SEXY – FIERY – SASSY – VIBRANT – ORANGE… Kissed with a ZING of SEDUCTIVE TURQUOISE inside… (are you a little breathless)…!!! Worry not…. even though I’m posting… I won’t be taking this charmer home…(the ONLY disadvantage of being on this side)!! Can’t wait to see who lands the shiny prize…

Good luck to all….. Happy weekend!!

SARAH

I would probably share this with my mom. How cute!

That’s amore! I love this bag, but I love my friend Leah more…and if I win, I would give it to her because she is the friend that introduced me to your site! She inspires me to decorate with color and to have fun being different and sometimes even kooky in my decor. Because surroundings are a reflection of yourself and you shouldn’t be afraid to let it out! This bag is so her! Her colors are turquoise and orange and this would be the all time best gift to give such an amazing friend….and who knows, maybe she would let me borrow it once or twice?!?XXXOOO!

thank you Sarah for clearing up the mystery color…I was getting ready to make an appt at the eye dr….love your adjectives!! I think Sarah should be the WINNER!!

I clicked my way to this site on one of my circuitous journeys through the web and am so happy to have found it. This bag is beautiful and would make my daughter very happy. She is still carrying an old tote that I got her two Christmases ago from Kohl’s. It is turquoise so I know that she would love this. If she doesn’t, I will, but being the selfless mother that I am, I will offer it to her first. IF I win, of course. Love your blog and site. I am happy to have found you.

Love love love this bag. Not to mention the fact that with TRACY PORTER on the front everyone will know the quality if I am so lucky to be the “chosen one!” (smiles) Thank you for inspirations on decor as well as fashion…..

well now you’ve done it! how can you tempt us so? the red bag is divine…red is a neutral they tell me…a little delicious pop of color that goes with anything at all. as much as i would like to tell you i would give this lovely bag to someone else…i cannot tell such a tale…i will be keeping it, loving it, using it, and enjoying it myself…it will have a good home (though it may have to tote the odd mini-donkey cookie or dog treats) and will be well cared for…thanks for the chance to adopt!

TRACY I LOVE Orange too!!!!!!! ORANGE to me is called “Chinese red.” I have a chinese red/orange room in my house. How DIVINE my Chinese red/orange purse would be there.

I LOVE YOUR ORANGE/TURQUOISE PURSE!!!

Orange TP purse, how I love thee,
orange TP purse please make your home with me.
I love the hot/cool colors you possess,
the yin/yang-ness of you
the perfect balance to express,
YOU are beautiful to me….O’ HOW I LOVE THEE!!!

OK, A poet I am not…but I gave it my best shot!!

JennyKY XOXO <3

WOW……what a fabulous RED masterpiece!
I would have it with French bread; I would share it on a sled; I could wear it when I wedd; I would hold it up high as I pass through the creek bed; I would use to carry my rye bread; I would never take near a pig bed; I would look for a similar color in the rose bed; OH what a swelled head…………
Again………..WOW what a purebred, truly a stop dead, drop dead, crowned head, and with great thread……..No TAG BAG!

Sarah…………OK, OK…..now that we have the color straight………….I am going to play hard ball now……..who ever wins that purse……I will give you 1,000.00 for it…..I want it…..do you hear me…..call me……LOOLOOL>>>>>>>

Rita calm now now………….what did you do have a chocolate milkshake for breakfast?????? LOLOO>…………

Gosh I hope Angie the Mad Hatter dont come on her and claim it toooooooooooo!!!!!!

LadyDi…….Now heres the hard part……Its hard to Love Her (I am going thru the motions….and she will never know)………she has a degree in Psychology…..beautiful…..very smart…..but can not and does not know how to help herself….now mind you she is getting better…. baby steps….and even if she did know how….she thinks shes OK…go figure!! (bipolar) She has nothing………

TRACY,…ooh la la!!!…in true form fashion, this is how i would debut this baby!!!…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdKeGAoWEg8&feature=related…this song was playing(on Oprah) when i was reading your giveaway post…how befitting-i want the world to know, i’m gonna let it show….i may have to share it with miss Diana herself and anyone else who wants to be EXUBERANT…even if only for a day!!!…a “community” purse she shall be!!!…Wishing everyone a warm&friendly weekend…margie

LOVE LOVE LOVE the bag!,,enough said

It would be hard to share but I’d try. That is one beautiful bag!
Thanks for the opportunity to win it. You are so generous.
Sandy m.

SUUUUUUUUUUUUE that was fabulous……

LOVE the bag and LOVE you! I would share with my girls – whether I wanted to or not I’m afraid!

Is it ever possible to have too many handbags – I think not, especially one as delightful as this. There is nothing more delicious than a one of a kind Tracy Porter. I am thinking happy thoughts and hoping this is my lucky day!

…Karen

Sarah, WHEW! Thanks so much for clarifying the color…..I thought it was a rich orange, but then everyone kept calling it red, so I thought maybe it was just my monitor! That just makes me TINGLE more!!!!!!! Such a wonderful combination with the Turquoise-the color of my eyes when I am happy!!!!!!!! And this purse would make me very happy indeed!!!! Thanks!!!!!!
XOXOR

In O-H-I-O it is cold & white & winter…
But in the land of Tracy Porter (which I visit every day),
The sun is out and it’s Sunset Orange and glowing!
For every beautiful image you and your company bring to my life each day; for your imagination, creativity & whimsy; for appealing to the cowgirl, hippie chick, feminine & modern girl/woman inside me…..
THANK YOU. For your vision inspires all of us to be our best and think in pretty pictures.
And do I want that bag??? I do, I do, I do!!!!
Merci Beaucoup.

What a lovely and vibrant bag! I must say……this one goes out to my mother, who depicts the bag to a T! Vibrant, Helpful, Inspirational, Transitional and overall, a ray of bright sunlight!

WOW! what a beaut! This would be perfect to take to my 50th Class Reunion this Summer. I would be the talk of the party. Forty five years ago I had a Red Patent Diaper Bag and it got lots of attention. I loved it. To win this would really bring it full circle for me. For some reason Red Patent makes you feel special.

Oh my. I have loved your web site for years. One of the first unsolicited catalogs to arrive at my door, which I was actually THANKFUL for, when I looked inside and found a designer who appeared to be nesting inside my own head! My dining light fixture, an amazing find a few years ago, is a source of constant compliments from visitors to my home. As are the clothes I can’t seem to stop buying…

Yes, I confess, I would probably keep this gorgeous bag for myself! After all I did give my mother the beautiful Icon bag I found on sale last year, and it was hard to part with, so it’s my turn now. I have been searching many years to find the perfect bag and have yet to succeed…this could be the one!

Oh, I would LOOOOVE to have this beautiful bag!! Thanks for another great giveaway and for the inspiration you share daily with us!

P.S. from #34 above…..even more perfect….orange – my fav color!

Fabulous! I could definitely be “True to Myself” sporting this beautiful new best friend! She’s the one…good luck to all!

Stunning bag. Would brighten up ANY day, but esp. A snowy one like today.

In purse love!

Oh, I would love this bag!!! Especially because I had just commented how I love reddish/ORANGE with turquoise!!!! My FAVORITE. I sing everyday because I am a choir teacher. I need the RED/ORANGE bag, because of the political problems here!!! I am soon to be very VERY short of cash because of cut-backs, etc. in the education field. (OK, OK, it was worth a shot, low as it is, I thought I would try to use this) I have purchased other TRACY PORTER bags, and I would love this one. I am not beneath saying, I would be a poor loser this time!!!! PICK ME! PICK ME!!!! My email I use here is different then the one I have on account with TP co. so, I hope you know that I have been a very good, sweet, and cute customer. PICK ME PICK ME!!!! Ok, now I am making myself sick. Have a glorious weekend.

Oh, how lovely this would look on my arm! I will call her Tracy! She will look beautiful next to all of my other handbag family! They can sit together and tell fabulous stories of all the adventures I take them on. She will enjoy the adventures but also the time she spends nestled with my other bags, tucked cozily into sleeper bags on a special shelf.

oooh – very nice. I would probably share, maybe not after seeing it in person though!

Cheryl

I love to give, but nah….I’d have to keep that lovely for myself!! I might share though….
Thanks for the giveaway T !

Oh it is beautiful. Would love to win it. I will pass on the news. Thanks for the giveaway.

AWESOME BAG!!! And what a happy color!!! I would HAVE to keep this bag!!! But of course I would tell everyone where it came from!!!

I’m giddy!! Have been searching for a new friend, tend to use mine forever and they are soo hard to part with. She is gorgeous!! Love the color, just right to cheer me up! Already sing your praises, but I’m certain this lady will command lots of “Where did you get her”??? Thanks for all the fun!

Beautiful!!! Absolutely Beautiful!!!

Oh wow fiery red just for me a Sagitarian.We are supposed to be fiery aren’t we. Love the Tracy Porter badging as well…. sooo designer. Would love love love it just for me .. couldn’t share this designer treasure.

The color of this bag is so awesome T, Turquoise swriling inside, wow you have arrived with your own name on the bag!! I would be very happy carrying this bag with all my goodies inside. Especially when someone says! “Wow what gorgeous purse”‘ and I would love to say, yes, it’s a Tracy Porter. I am not that creative with words as many of these ladies are so whoever wins, I will be so jealous of you forever!!!!LOL!

Chim Chimney Chim Chim Chim Chim Cher-ee, when there’s a bag this special I know it’s for me!!!

LOLO,……thank goodness you got the color straight!!!!!! This bag is TANGERINE orange~~~~ no red in it. Now listen up,…..I just broke down and purchased John Lennon rounds ( will send you a pic of my hippified self ) maybe you should start to do the same……….here’s your pop quiz……Quick question…are you ready?????…….what color is a school bus??????
lolololo
Cameoxoxoxoxo

Swoon! I would proudly carry this bag and show it to the world! Love the color, the shiny patent leather, the pockets…it’s luscious! While this is a one of a kind…I’m hoping there might be more to follow???

Oh please, please, please…(Will begging work?) This is such a gorgeous bag!!

Should I win this sexy bag, I would sing “If my friends could see me now …”
Sue, I agree with Valery…… fabulous!
I love red and have a lot of red furniture. My Chinese friend calls it China Coffin Red
Tracy, loved your painting and color combination in yesterdays video! Just so exciting.

Oh my goodness gracious! Lovely lovely bag of my dreams! I’m telling and telling all of my favorite girlfriends. But I must say that I am envisioning the lovely bag going everywhere with ME! The exact color I’ve been craving! Places for kid snacks, seed packs, found treasures and whatnots. And so nicely sized as I am tall and also like to carry half the world around with me. I think I’ll have to print out a photo for my board and do a positive meditation. Hummmmmmmmmmm….GOOD VIBRATIONS!

Rita, if I win I will bring the bag to you! No joke!:) All you have to do, tell me about Kenya.

Sarah,
So good to have you join the fun. I miss your sweet face. I think we need some tales from the crib (TP in WI) video’s and you could star in them. Maybe you could skype /chat with Tracy on the other side live!?
xo
Char

Tracy -
If Gretchen can beg then so can I!! Pleeeese send me that bag so that I can own an orange bag even awesome-er than my sister’s Italian orange bag! You know how sisters are….. All love plus a dash of oneupmanship!
Love,
Mary Ann

It’s the Let’s Make a Deal Bag, I’d call her Monty! Citrusy delicious to stash bobby pins, Happy Meal toys, sunglasses, chiclets, bubbles and a wand stick.

Who in the world doesn’t need an orange bag to welcome Spring?!?! Sorry, but I admit it: will keep this beauty for myself!! Will coordinate so fabulously with so many of my TP fashions (and those to come)!

I really need this purse please god I need this purse I’ve got to have this purse…..from A Chorus Line…and a few Friday night margaritas. You have cheeseburger Friday’s…I have margarita Friday’s. And I LLLOOOVVVVEEEE the reference to Ms. Poppins. But seriously… I want this purse. Not sure if I’ll use it…or display it. Soooooo beautiful.

OMG!!! I am so in love with this purse!! I have been looking for a fun purse and this one fits the bill. I so love this purse and would carry it proudly. Thanks for the chance to win.
P.S. I love your blog too!

Lovely… the perfect anytime bag. I imagine people will covet it but I will keep it for myself. I’ll throw in the wallet, lipstick, sunglasses(big ones of course – to match the bag)and in all it’s glory it will undoubtedly have some goldfish for my little guys to snack on, maybe some raisins and then wipes and a diaper will be a must as well. It will be used as a bag like this should be!

As my art teacher once said of her favorite hue, “I could eat Cad Orange for breakfast”…much like your scrumptious bag. I think I could eat it for breakfast! Yum! Have a delicious weekend y’all.

I would give it as a gift to my wife who eats, sleeps and breaths Tracy Porter – yet not a stalker. Not a Tracy stalker anyway, but she will stalk a purse or blouse until it goes 70% off!! So when I heard her talking about this purse I knew I had to try to get it for her! Plus she’s a knockout and this purse would look rockin’ awesome hanging on her shoulder!

Hi! It’s late and so many comments today who knows if anyone will even see this, but I had to say on my computer this bag is absolutely positively….RED!!!!!!!!!Oh I believe you SARAH, of course, and I thank you for clarifying if it didn’t show that way, but I’ll even say in one shot a tomato red, but RED!!!!!Oh well I know my eyes are fine, must be the way it photographed, and who cares, right, It’s still a beauty!!!!!!!!

love this red haute bag! this bag would go with so many things in my wardrobe! lovely!

As if i don’t stand out enough in Tracy’s amazing designs….her beautiful cloths that make me feel like a million bucks…….this bag would just put the looks over the edge……I would definitely NOT be missed with bag. I love it and would love to own it….a Tracy “one-of-a-kind” bag would be simply…great!

I absolutely love your website! Just my style.

I absolutely love your style! Feels so me. The
purse is beautiful, but if it is made of leather,
I wouldn’t want it. The red would always remind
me of the blood that was shed to make it. You can
maintain your style without killing animals.

I love this fabulous bag! I’ve been a little obsessed with orange/red lately…. I have been busy sewing up some pillows in this hue, hoping it will liven up the place in anticipation of spring! I would not share nor give it away. I don’t like to be center of attention, but I’m sure everyone would be envious of this beautiful bag )
Here’s hoping for some spring weather soon! I can envision this lovely purse hanging on the stair banister. I would walk by and look at it all day long. I would be very honored to win something so special.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Cameo…………..dont forget to send me the pictures…..and on the color of a bus……I hope your glasses slip down on your nose!!!!!!!

Rachel…………thanks for having my back…now here it is…..The color is Chinese Red………but orange or red…..ANYONE WILL LOVE GETTING IT!!…..dont change your haircolor just to match this bag….LOlololo

TRACY ***** ++++++ ###### @@@@@ !!!! Keep it up BFF….before long you will hit the 200 blog…..then what are you going to do….LOLOLOLL……..thank you will ever charge for an autograph?????

Would you please enter me for that lovely bag. Its a beauty and I would love to have it Thank you Alexis

I would keep definitely keep that shiny baby for myself.
As for the color…………this bag should be called the
“Hungarian Paprika Bag”
What a saucy little number!

Well now, that is one pretty bag. I can see myself running out the door with it packed ever so carefully with my sketch book,
Bottle of water and basic survival gear that a warrior mother, wife and business women would need.

memememe! (faux opera) Oh, how I would love this bag for myself!
I have always loved and appreciated bags from the time I was a teeny tiny little girl. I remember traveling to Harrisburg, the nearest city, to shop with my mom (she was a bag girl as well). She would let me pick something out, and it was always a little handbag. Usually a little shiny patent number. I would hold my new handbag, just staring at it-all the way home. Still totally adore bags, although my taste has changed a little bit from way back when. Reeeeealy love yours!!

Oh Tracy, I have just been introduced to you and your FABO clothes……I love them and would love to have this bag!!!! Red is my favorite color….being my hair is red too!!!!……but also because I am taking a trip to paris this summer and think it would really turn heads in that beautiful city!!!!
Kerin

Brilliant….great design …love the tangy color, the inside splash of turquoise, the side pockets… perfect for stashing items you need to get to quickly. ie phone,keys… All just TUTU DIVINE! I am going to share this with all my friends and followers on my blog!

http://www.tutudivine.com

…..and if I should win

…and give it away…

parting would be such sweet sorrow…

The second I opened up the link, I knew I was looking at a bag that was meant to live with my mother. She is the most passionate, caring person I have ever met and I know that I wouldn’t be the strong woman that I am today had she not been the one to raise me. However, recently she has lost a lot of that passion for life. After 25 years of marriage, my father decided that he didn’t want to be around any more and just moved out and several states away. Now my mother is left having to rebuild a life she feels like she is to “old” and “washed up” to create. This is totally untrue; and with items like this, and family around her, I believe we can help her to go out and enjoy life again. I mean, who couldn’t help but feel sexy and carefree when carrying around something so bright and wonderful? And if anybody deserves it, that would be my mother.

I love your the look of your clothing,but unfortunatly, I am a big girl,so your extra large is really a large for me,so I will have to wait until untl you pardon the pun ,expand and stretch.

I would LOVE this bag! Going to New York in a few weeks, would be perfect! I own a pair of your boots (multi tan patent with gold buckle). Wore on my last trip. I had people stopping me at airport, inquiring about place I purchased. If I should win, please pack bag with lots of business cards!!!! The bag is so gorgeous, I know I will be stopped numerous times. I will say my prayers!!!

The Girl from Ipanema I will never be, but with that bag on my arm I would be as happy as an orangutan swinging from an orange tree in an orangery. If I were a fairy, I would shake my orangestick under the shimmer of an orange colored moon and send one of these beauties to all of us. But alas I am not a fairy. Just an ordinary person sitting by my frosted windowpane, dreaming of color for my gray winter skies. (Orange and gray go so beautifully together, don’t you agree?)

oops, I see there are 2 of us with the name of Renee. I am post #160. This is all very exciting to read everyone’s comments. Good luck to us all.

So glad to get the color cleared up because it looked like TIBETAN RED to me the whole time…like the pantry… no… more orange than that, but not ruby red. If this was a test to see if this is a marketable product, I think the answer is YES! Lololo luv, I didn’t know you were dealing with her mental illness, bipolar…. that’s a whole other subject…. and the most difficult thing there is ever EVER! I still think you should keep the beautiful bag. However, that 93 year old tap dancer sorta caught my eye…and then there’s Gemma’s mom…and so many other worthy owners of the purse.

Celestial Goodness, this citrus, delicious, vibrant orange beauty is!!! Invigorating, and awe inspiring, just the pick me up any girl would need after a long, snowy, cold white winter!
More snow yesterday, and I fish-tailed 3 times in the car while driving my girls to and fro!
I would have to say that I would keep this beauty if won, happy birthday to me… a big one coming #49, my last one I will admit to!
I have paid it forward 3 times this week, in big ways wondering why this week demanded so much generosity of spirit, and mind. I lost a beautiful heirloom piece, and I could just respond with a big hug and warm smile, and the understanding that it was an accident. This bag would be shared with my 3 girls when they are old enough, who would simply love this and swoon over it. This would be my new heirloom piece to pass along to them and they would delight in it and carry it with pride! It reminds me of the fresh scent of an orange being peeled back while overlooking the blue azure of the ocean where I long to be today….simply gorgeous the combination of colors! Too lovely not to share! I did think of sending her on a Flat Stanley type of adventure for a year to friends and fellow blogettes in which recipients would record her adventures at each new destination!
TP – enjoy the Bloggers conference this week! We are all with you in spirit!

tracy!! just got over a stomach virus and your blog is the first place i went… LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bag!! it’s exactly my style… and that color… my favorite! i need a new spring bag… and the tracy porter label just screams quality… had so many compliments on my silver tp bag… would love to brag on this one too!!!! am already thinking of the scarves i’d tie around this one!! thanks for the chance! love everything tracy porter!!!

Sarah thanks for properly identifying the color! I still love it at orange tangy orange at that and is that some dragonfly gold on there and suductive turquoise!! I need it even more that poppy color only if I were to eat the seeds would it be more delicious!!!LoLO

Kristin- Just love Steve Martin!!! We need more of him!

Ode to Lovely

Oh you treasure, you are divine!
Brighter than my Florida sunshine.

You will be at home here, you will see
With our persimmon sun and cerulean sea.

As we stroll, with you on my arm,
Bringing smiles to those we pass,
I will revel in the sublime euphoria,
United with my longed for love at last.

And I would be eternally delighted
If this love did not go unrequited.

If the stars deem we worthy,
You will have my care and devotion.
Your sweet song and shimmering skin
Will always brighten my darkest emotion.

And when our life’s journey together is through,
My devoted daughter will find her way to you.

Then she will stroll with you in complete elation,
And your loveliness will sustain through generations.

lets just say a purse in the sky is wayyy better than a pie in the sky- ..so as a warbler would do i’am singing for not supper but for a new tracy porter and may i say FABULOUS BAG.and get real WHO would not want a tracy bag- love yur spirit drive and love of family and nature .. ru kidding every one will know about YOU AND THIS GREAT FIND…

If I had this orange purse
I’d wear it in the morning
I’d wear it in the evening
All over this land

A symbol of freedom
A symbol of sisterhood
All the TP love we share between each other
all over this land

I’d sing it out all over this land

Ahhh Tracy, just in time for spring time in Wisconsin…I would be talk of the town and feelin’ like a princess:)

Oh, I’m going to keep this sweet little baby for myself But I’m sure my teenage daughter will be borrowing it from time to time, it’s just too fabulous to keep to myself!
Have a fabulous weekend!
Julie

What a show stopper and my favorite color too!
It’s orange isn’t it? My house is orange!
Such an upbeat and great color! I hope this won’t be the only handbag for long. It’s screaming for a wider circulation. Spread the orange color!!!

The last 3 years have been the most painful in my life. A death of an 18 yr. marriage I didn’t see coming… infidelity, 3 kids to try to keep together as a family, working a retail job after working in custom sewing workrooms and being able to be a stay at home mom. I’m 56, my self esteem is non existent. My therapist has suggested to me to read “The Happiness Trap” which I ordered off amazon used. So many times I look over Tracy Porter’s website, just as a mini vacation. I can’t buy. If one thing I could win, a purse, would I be able to hold my head high once more? Could one beautiful item do that? I don’t know… but it would be nice to feel that my luck would finally be changing.
thank you

Plucking this patent-leather persimmon jewel of a purse that opens to an expanse of ocean blue would definitely make up for the fact that my beloved bestowed a burrito upon me for Valentine’s Day, squelching any notion of romance… (I had the latest TP catalog out, with pages dogeared, even!) At least it was carnitas and was embellished with a heart sticker on the foil wrapper. Small pleasures, indeed.

I love unique handbags. This one says “Wow”. Orange is one of my favorites! I love your style!

Now Now my darling CAMEO…..don’t disapoint me, I know you know your colors unless our computers show it different, I’m telling you guys mine is RED as RED can be, with orange in it on one picture, but the rest all RED!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!This is so funny though isn’t it, we get upset about our colors!!!!!! All in fun, I know you all get it!!!!!

Ok I’m chiming in for the last time…..I was just about to walk away from the computer, and when I stood up, guess what the color looked more orange, so It’s all about the angle and shadows that show it different ways, when sitting down it looks very red, but when I stand it dose look different. Love yas!!!!

Yummy! You had me at “Mary Poppins”!!

I would look so hip carrying this bag around!!

sf

I’ve recently discovered your clothes (and shoes) and I must admit
when my husband looks at our credit card statement next month he’s going to have a fit!
If I win this bag with my muse
when the package arrives he will be quite confused.
I’ll tell him this fabulous purse didn’t cost him a thing
and if he complains again I’ll have purchase the “Penelope Amethyst Earrings” and “Good Karma Snake Cocktail ring”!
The End…well, probably not!

I spread the Tracy Love whenever I can. My most satisfying days are the days on throw on a TP frock, a bangle, a ring, my favorite boots.
I feel ME, walking around in Tracy Porter style.
I rejoice when someone says “that is so cute, where did you get that?”
I have to admit, I do love to spread the love, but if I should be lucky enough…
That beauty of a bag would be all mine

Spreading the love…

As much as I would love to gift this bag to someone, I don’t think I could release it from my fingers! I would carry this bag while wearing my favorite Tracy Porter tunic cardigan and singing Puccini arias to anyone who will listen. (probably my dog Charlie!) Love the sass and drama of this bag! AAAAHHHHH! (imagine sung in a soprano register!)

Les anneaux de cuivre et d’argent
reluisaient sur les peaux bistrées;
d’orange ou de rouge zébrées
les étoffes flottaient au vent.
La danse au chant se mariait,
la danse au chant se mariait;
d’abord indécise et timide,
plus vive ensuite et plus rapide…
cela montait, montait, montait, montait!

My daughter is going to the Lyric Opera to see Carmen with her french class in March and this would be amazing hanging from her arm. She’s just a wonderful daughter who I’m going miss more than my heart can bear when she leaves this year for college. Her favorite color is red and her college colors are red and she loves everything french like you Tracy, this was meant to be.

Peering through borrowed opera glasses in the balcony of the crowded theater, I scan the crowd in the opposite mezzanine before the opera begins: a bald man in a vest with a watch and chain, a large woman with a daringly low-cut gown, and a plain, familiar looking young woman in a dark, demure, peter pan-collared coat. Wait…what’s that reflective glare on her lap? Good Lord, it’s a gorgeous,shiny red bag. Rather flashy for the opera, though, don’t you think? What will the refined ladies and gentlemen amongst her think? What’s that she’s getting out of the front finely stitched (oh good Lord, the inside lining is turquoise!) pocket? Lipstick! She’s going to put on lipstick! Here in the crowded theater?!?!? She slowly draws the crimson red hue across her lips and checks her look in the wide gold bangle on her wrist. Then I freeze as her eyes look straight at me and she flashes a smile that causes the orchestra to play “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”! She’s standing up, taking off her coat with reckless abandon, revealing her own brightly-colored lining. Ripples of raw joy radiate out from where she now dances; the red bag slung over one shoulder and bouncing at her side as all the opera attendees join in her dance of glee! SHE IS THE SHOW they all yearn to see! The house lights flash several times as the glockenspiel chimes. The crowd quiets down and settles in their seats, still chittering and glowing as I realize the over-sized gold-framed mirror across from me reflects the life I would be living if I WON THAT RED BAG!

“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine……”
Tangerine shimmer, I’ll fill you with delights, my favorite lip shine, secret treasures and scents!

Off topic but….you know how we LOVE our old books! I spent the day junking/antiquing and unearthed a first edition (1937) of M.F.K. Fisher’s “Serve it Forth” for five bucks. Woo hoo!!! It’ wine o’clock in CA so cheers to all you “foodies” out there!

Oh… a twirling I would go with this precious gem. But first I’d drop off one of my old handbags to a local women’s shelter.

The colors of this purse inspires, a long held fantasy that I have had to bring my Mother to Europe, and stroll the streets of Paris together, watching a burnished orange sunset. I can see her, with purse in arm, window shopping with me, as we duck into a small cafe for sips of Pastis, and plan a long excursion to the Louvre. My Mother leads a happy and simple lifestyle .. but I would love to wisk her away for some luxury and adventure. Perhaps, she might let me keep what ever is tucked into the pocket, as my own surprise? She has always done so much for me and I think she needs to be spoiled…as though she were a great Cosmopolitan Lady! Thanks for the dream, and the beautifully constructed purse, that would carry us away on my Mother’s first trip outside of America. (My Husband and I actually have been hoping to take her together, since his family is French.) I think the purse embodies perfection and old world style that the old photographs of European ladies walking down cobble-stone streets evokes. What a lovely, tangerine dream!

Believe or not this is my first ever contribution to a blog. Honestly, I have never thought I had anything to share until I saw that irresistible Scarlet Bag. I must say I will not have to share with Family or Friends, That bag will speak for itself just as the sage green satchel that I purchased from your website this past winter. I thoroughly enjoy reading the beautiful comments from you and your friends they have sparked a new and long overdue regeneration of my love for life and the beauty that can be found in everything everyday! Thank You

Oh me! Oh my! This little gem make me smile!!! What a beautiful color and the patin shine…..Mmmm mmmm…..Honestly, I’m not sure if I’d keep her for myself or find someone to share her with…..Could I possibly carry her around for a while then share??? tee hee

Greetings Tracy, dear!

I have been a follower of your catalog/website for only 2 years….was awe-inspired by your lighting carried by Horchow, researched you on the web and voila! Was welcomed to the world of divine inspiration and making magic of the everyday….I always had my own ritualistic specialities, which you affirmed and encouraged. Anyway, this bag makes me think of love. Of joy. Of assurance….it is bold but not overbearing….. I like it. As simple as that. Since my entre’ into your website, blog, catalog, etc….I have passed the joy onto everyone I know….sharing catalogs, gifting of your bohemian leopard slides (in particular, but among other additional treasures)to my girlfriends……indulging the soul sisters of my life with what I fancy to be whimsical and lovely…mostly from your company. It gives me great joy to show my love and loyalty through beloved tokens, as well as a good ear, a glass of wine and recounting the adventures of our days with my friends…..it is a lovely bag….and whomever it is gifted upon is extremely fortunate! It is very celebratory and joyful of you to give such a cheerful gift! It is sure to make someone’s day! Thank you for urging and nudging us all toward following our dreams and making beauty of the everyday. Warmly, Jill

Tracy- This bag is FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS!!!!! Red or Orange who cares. It’s patent leather and has a lushous blue lining. I would keep it for myself. I have my high school reunion in Madrid, Spain (went to the American School of Madrid-) this summer and I would bring this bag. I would probably make the Spanards “nuts-o-hazelnut” for it. Orange is my favorite color since I was a little girl. How could this bag not make anyone look good and it says Tracy Porter. You would so be there in spirit. Could you imagine the bag at Tapas sipping Sangria or Cava. Taking it to Botins(the oldest restaurant in Madrid) or watching Flamenco. Ole! Even going to see a Real Madrid football game. Taking a coffee. And if I can get to Barcelona who knows what will happend. Buena suerta a mi! And if for any reason Spain doesn’t happen then I will be leaving my home in Los Angeles to go back to my beloved city Detroit and state Michigan to then go up north. The bag would have just as much fun in Bloomfield Hills as it would at the Grand Hotel or eating seafood on Lake Michigan.

Wow. Love this Little “Red Tomato”! And.. if I don’t keep it for myself (which I will most likely do…) I will share it with Miss Shirley! Lucky Girl xoxoxox ~*~*~*~ Sandi

(well….many tomatoes are actually ‘orange’ in color! wink!

Wow, what a beauty- it’s too beautiful not to share… please share it with me!

Oh month of cold and blust’ry days
Through parting clouds sun’s gleaming rays
Doth dance on shimmering boughs displayed
As gentle breezes curls sway

Vap’rous shrills cold melts away
The sweet infusion of Earl Grey
The rustling leaves as tree do sway
All add to this enchanting day

Haunting allure and fragrant whiffs
As crystal pools in lime stone cliffs
Do glisten, flutter as wind blown mists
Neath golden curls and dancing twists

As dew drenched poppies hung by your side
A glistening sunset you dare not hide
A more stunning red I’ll never find
Like you it is one of a kind

As sun and warmth define the day
No greater gift could be displayed
This stunning purse on your side sway
My Bohemian Beauty
On this, your Birthday…

Hi Tracy,

This would definitely be a “pay if forward” gift. February 28th is my precious wife’s birthday, and the poem above is the “would be story” of my bride, Amie-Joy (with her curly blond hair and stunning blue eyes), and her “one of a kind” Tracy Porter handbag. While she was sipping on her Earl Grey tea and checking emails this afternoon, she opened her Tracy Porter email and burst into song about the most exquisite handbag that “was the color of Israeli poppies and glistened like a sunset” … I know she would never request the handbag for herself, and that is one of many qualities I admire about her. I want to be her knight in shining armor, so I am entering THE BATTLE FOR THE BAG with my poem about my wife, the bag, and why they belong together.

A poem just for you!
This bag is not just a bag, its a Tracy Porter bag. It says, beauty, elegance, refined…and I must say quite divine! This bag will not only make you smile, but will make you shine till the end of time. If I should win this bag, I will no longer look like an old hag!

Oh Tracy, I just love this bag! I’ve just discovered your blog and I admire your style.
I would use this bag to go to my customers and it will keep my moodboards and personal items save and sound.

Love Franca

Such a sassy wonderful staple piece that would bring light and oomph to any outfit!! I’d love to own this baby! I’m telling my girlfriends how a h-o-t bag like this can be a winner year round!

Oh what a gorgeous bag! I would love to carry this divine beakon of lovliness on my arm as I reenter the workforce after being a stay at home mommy this year. Oh course I would share it with my sweet and sassy mamma and everloving sister. I will spread the word of your endless inspiration. Thank you for the chance to own a special piece of your talent!

Beautiful red bag
I see you in my hands, safe
How I wish you mine!

Sunday morning Haiku!

Love the bag along with all the other wonders you create! Will spread the love!
Peace,
Jennifer

What a great color red!!!! It just pops! And the purse is such a great style!!! I will keep my fingers crossed, (and toes).

My daughter Katina, orders everything from you Tracy and I call her Tracy. Even her little children call her Tracy. With this bag the name would be right on it and the 3 year old won’t be confused. I’d love to win this for her. She has done so much for me, her Mom

Love the color! Love the design! Love all the little compartments! While I would normally keep this bag for myself so everyone in podunkville could ooh and aah, I would send it off to my lovely daugher who is pregnant with the first grandchild and living in the northwest, sigh…so far away…sigh…she needs a delightful surprise, a little spoiling. And wouldn’t this be stunning with all that basic black pregnancy wear??!! Thanks for such a lovely opportunity. I hope it will become part of your line!

It is simply elegant. I need this bag to shine hope in my world each and every day

I am a new friend to Tracy’s creations. I love them for unique and fasionable style. Glad I stumble on the website. The bag is awesome and glad to be a newbie…..

What a beauty! Isn’t she lovely?

WOW what a gorgeous bag. I just shared with my friends. I could find many many ways to use this bag. This would be so cool to win.
Another great Tracy!

Tracy, this bag is to die for! The color is beautiful and would look so hot this summer.
I’ve shared with my best friends so they can jump on board.
Thank you!!!

Che borsa magnifica! L’amo tanto bene! Grazie.

Oh Tracy, This bag is gorgeous! The color would cheer anyone. My daughter has had a rough year. So this beauty would be a great birthday gift for her.
My friends need to be acquainted with Tracy’s wonders. Will do!

I love your style, Tracy!

I’ve purchased tops and a dress from you and they’re among my favorite feel good outfits. I like to think of them as basics, but beyond! I would love to win this bag. It’s my birthday today so I’m hoping that positive ‘celebration of me’ energy surrounds my entry.

I’m an adjunct and teach writing and composition classes part-time. I have no office and this sassy bag will make lugging student work and my books back and forth to campus a real treat.

Thanks much for your consideration.

Kelly

With spring coming soon, this bag would make me feel like a real diva! The color is one of my favorites!

Orange you glad I didn’t say banana!
The turquoise inside would make me melt every time.
Orange and blue, an artist’s trick to get the heart pumping. Please be mine. xo

ohmygoodnessgracious, I love this bag. Red and Turquoise are my favorite colors! I would share this fab bag with my daughter….but I wouldl have to keep it at my house for fear that I would never get it back! thanks so much for a generous give-a-way!

I love it so much that I would have to be selfish and keep it for myself. I will carry it all over town in order to “share” it with everyone!

Love,love,love
glorious red
and shiny
mine,mine,mine!

Who ever wins it is sure to be blessed with happiness.

What a way to start my morning! This bag is beautiful, I love it! I am always looking for unique handbags at sales. This one is so vibrant that it would be a conversation starter in any crowd! Love it!

Is it the destination or the journey that means more to each of us? What better gift to ourselves and each other than a bag that will make the journey to the destination nothing short of lovely.

Women, the amazingly strong, beautiful creatures that we are can actually go weak in the knees for a bag?!?! For a pair of shoes?!?! For a sequined cardigan from the Tracy Catalog?!?!?! YES! We can and we do…admit it…I do.

We truly need to embrace the part of ourselves that can juggle jobs, children, parents, PTA, husbands, homes, and the list goes on and on. Yet, how often do we truly stop and let our inner princess pop out? Allow her to come out and play with us?

A bag like this would allow any one of us to look down as it rests on the chair next to us and know that we finally have a way to let the inner princess smile and wink at us with the pleasure of knowing the secrets to our strength.

Green Bay won the Superbowl….a transplant from Wisconsin to Washington DC could win this bag. She’d do the same thing she always does with new bags….a share with her mother who still lives in Wisconsin. Mom would get the bag for Easter and Mother’s day. Daughter would get the bag for the DC Summer. The bag would be sent back and forth with notes tucked in the small spots. The notes would affirm the beauty of being a woman in this amazing world. The notes would become part of the mothers legacy and the daughters gift to her children one day.

How could this bag not want to be part of that wonderful process?

Besides…the inner blue is the color of my inner princess’s eyes…also known as Judy Blue.

Every woman I know has been told about this site and just yesterday as I wore by white sequined cardigan and received no less than 20 “wow, that’s beautiful, where did you get it?” kind of comments….I was singing the praises of Tracy Porter to all who asked. Never have I had to write another womans name on any scrap of paper in the bottom of my purse as I did yesterday.

Happy Sunday, amazing women of the world.

The Bag and I. We will shine together and cause others to shine! Contagious.

What a fabulous purse! I think it will look very sassy with the Tempest Vintage Biker boots that I recently purchased. The purse just like the boots is a “one of a kind” which I am sure will get just as many compliments as the boots have every time I wear them! Thank you for such a wonderful give away!

Hi Tracy, I forgot to mention that my sister’s 50th is coming up fast, it’s next Sunday March 6th and her favorite color is orange!! She should have it!!! She’s the kindest soul I know and her spirit will make the beautiful bag shine even more!!!
Happy Sunday all!!

I would totally keep this bag and carry it with pride! My 10 year old identical twins have severe special needs and when I go places with them, I have to carry a lot of STUFF! This bag is big, so I could carry all our stuff and do it in style! Plus, I love the bright happy color! Ooh, wanna win, wanna win!!!!

Love this purse, love your new store in Santa Barbara and love getting your online catalogs every day. Can’t wait to head back up to Santa Barbara to visit your fun and colorful store which I just fell in love with my last trip there. I get compliments all the time on the items I’ve purchased. Keep up the good work

What will be inside this purse,
A bar of chocolate, a tiny nurse?

A junkyard, a pear, a comb for my hair?
I’ll take this purse everywhere!

If I fall inside don’t look for me
A happy place is where I’ll be.

So on my tombstone please just inscribe:
Inside Tracys purse is where she died.

But that’s okay, cute patent leather,
I might have died but it was Heaven!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! I love your spirit, your ideas, and your clothes and am always thrilled to see what new-ness you have come up with. You are an inspiration and a blessing to me! Of course I will share

May miracles abound!

How lucky I will be

I’ve heard of Christmas in July, yes, but the summer sun & sky in the grey of winter? How fabulous! Some promise the moon- how does it feel to share the sun? Thank you for your generous gift and congratulations to whoever is the lucky recipient. For now we can all dream and hope; a gift in itself.
I’ll certainly spread the love far and wide (my daughters and their friends will love it!) but if the bag comes to my house, it’ll stay close to me. I’ve had purses brown, black, and grey, but somewhere inside there’s an inner Tracy in there waiting to break through the plain Jane facade. Like a great hair cut, this is the chance to change the way I see myself and the way others do, too.
Fingers crossed and singing strong!

Wow, wow , wow! I love this. I already sent out some emails about this fantastic giveaway. I have to say that I would be keeping this special one of a kind gem for myself. Just the perfect pop of color for this gray winter wonderland that I am stuck in. I want spring, and I would say that spring is in that handbag

I love colorful purses. In high school I took a giant leap and bought a lavender purple bag!! Scary- but it became that signature piece. I never looked back!! Love having that bit of color to lift my mood and spirit!! So fun!
This bag is great! As a mother of 3, I always needed a big bag- to hold my book or knitting- something to do while I wait!
Recently, I became a mom to 2 pre-schoolers as well!! What mom of 5 doesn’t need a big orange bag?? Now that is a SIGNATURE piece!!!
“There’s my Mommy! The one with the orange purse!” xo

It is the perfect bag to add zing to any outfit! It’s like an shot of sunshine, especially during these bleary, blustery days.

Tracy & all -
A splash of color is what we in the Midwest need to get us out of the winter doldrums! This beautiful – shiny – purse says it all — spring is on the way! Just imagine — I am walking down Michigan Avenue (Chicago) wearing my practical (save me from the wind and cold) black coat with a wonderful splash of color scarf around my neck — and this beautiful burst of ripe sunshine on my arm. At each corner a wind swept winter weary woman asks me where I got my great purse…..and I will say “Tracy Porter”……and will follow up with….don’t you love it I do!

P.S. The great thing about orange is that is really is a neutral so the purse and all its secrets is really a year round gem!

Oh what a juicy delicously cheerful bag! Adore the colors and the shape is divine. I would celebrate by stuffing it with opera cd’s to play in my car while I travel fashionably wearing the citrus sandals I already have that would match this bag perfectly. Would love to pay this forward to a dear sister~friend if I can resist the temptation to keep it just for me! Tra la la la la la la la la!!! xo

Oh my. What a treasure. Have tons of TP clothes and get so many great compliments but I do not, as of yet, have any of her bags. I think all of that is about to change. All of sunny southern Cali all rolled up in one tangible piece of eye candy.

It’s my favorite color; I MUST have it!

Okay, okay I can’t resist any longer to tell you I’m a first time responder, but have been following your blog and site and am totally enlighten by it. Orange is my new favorite color and you are my new favorite friend. Thank you for all the exuberance you create on a daily basis. I love your patchwork blissfulness.The purse is awesome too,would love to carry it. Wish me luck……

Orange is the color my soul is singing to this year! I am so in love! But alas, I would not keep the purse, I would give it to my bestie… She is a mommy of 4 boys, and a working woman. She has been in desperate need of a sexy sassy bag that can hold diapers, and sales contracts, all while looking so fabulous it makes your eyes hurt. The struggle for the perfect Mommy/Working woman bag has been driving her nuts for 7 months since she want back to work after having her twin boys. It is my love for her (and probably nothing else lol) that would pass the bag lovingly and not even grudgingly on to her.

Bonjour Madame Porter, oh oui I would like this shinny, very spring purse now that I can use my right arm again ( I dislocated my right elbow- of course I am right handed- when iced skating with my family during the Holidays, I never expected it to be so painful and taking forever to heal). Anyway I am using your Satchel bag -purse (the one brown/chocolate with pockets) since last year) and this is my favorite purse.
Really difficult to find the perfect purse. Or they are uggly and practical or beautiful and not practical at all. Your bags have both! Have a great Spring in CA – SB, I can see that egg hunting for Easter in the warm weather is going to be nice this year! A bientot
Tracy xoxo Celine

what a b e a u t i f u l purse! As much as I would love it for myself, I would pass it on to my 95 year old grandmother who, just 7 weeks ago, came to live with me and my crazily active family of 4 kids & wonderful hubby! She has carried a black bag for years (really decades lol)and this bright vibrant purse is truly more her personality!

May you heart sing
And your soul be free
I want that lovely bag
Just for me!

Look out Gucci,
Prada and Chanel,
Compared to Tracey Porter
You all look like hell!

I would give this bag to my daughter. She is going off to college in the fall, and your beautiful bag would be wonderful for her to have. My daughter is an aspiring writer, and she also wants to pursue a career as an English professor. I could see her carrying this bag to and from the library.

We have been slowly buying things she will need for college, and this bag would be a definite help for her.

My daughter and I are close, and Tracy, the thought of her being gone next year is killing me! I feel like our family will be broken in a sense. I know I should get over it, but it’s so hard. I will try to celebrate her accomplishments rather than focusing on how much I will miss her.

The bag is lovely, and as much as I would love one for myself, my daughter needs it.

This is a fantastic giveaway. Thank you!

Oh I must admit that I would keep it for myself, it’s right up my alley with side (is that cargo)pockets and color. However, my wallet and phone will only take up one corner of it as my 7 y.o. daughter feels it necessary to fill my purses these days with her baubles. So in part it would be hers too, sigh.

WOW, what a jubilant surprise waiting in my email today! My absolute favorite: red AND patent no less! And the sweetest icing is one-of-a-kind! To think it could be mine? What an uplifting, joyful image I have of myself receiving and treasuring this fabulous beauty! Thanks Tracy; you are truly the best!! xxoo

Dearest Tracyl

I have loved you since I found a beautiful wooden candle stick in a junk shop many many years ago. I have bought(and broke) several small vases. I use them, daily, but with grandkids arounds, accidents happen. I love your clothes and accessories, even though this grandma is usually in jeans and tee shirts. But I have 5 very beautiful daughters, and 1 very beautiful daughter in law. 4 are very fashionable, hard working professional women and 2 earth mothers, like me, who work just as hard. They have given me the best 10 grandkids ever. It would be a very tough decision, but I think I would give this to my 2 youngest daughters to share, the 2 earth mothers, the mothers of the 5 youngest grandchildren. While they are more comfortable in their jeans and overalls, I think this might be the spark to let them see they are as beautiful, as hard working and as loved as their older sisters.

I would just love love love to win this beautiful poppy and turquoise bag of gorgeousness and would be a very very very happy March birthday girl indeed. Oh I can’t imagine the places it will take me and the joy it will bring to everyone whose eyes fall upon this exquisite expression of loveliness. Let the sparklers sparkle and the fairy godmothers of One-of-a-Kind bags bestow this charmimg gift upon me!!!

Beautiful. I’m sending this to my friends. Maybe, if one of us wins, we can share:)

Uplifts my spirit, youthful, and bright gives me emotional strength in difficult times helps me recover from my everyday griefs this beautiful purse will be a wonderful treat.Red and yellow emerging within,energy bright bursting,sunrise intense,new ideas vibrant and happy that’s how I feel looking at this baggy.Tracy Porter designs with a magic that is shown in the details with this one of kind purse. I wish it were mine to show off to my friends,I hope I win so give me a chance. I will wear it everyday like the sun that shines.I will happy if it were only mine.

Love it! My new favorite color, would love to win it.

Tracy~

You have done it again! What can I say, this lovely creation is simply singing out to me…….. I am beautiful, glorious, take me out into the world and spread loveliness to all!!!! The amazing combination of orange and blue…. true perfection. Orange…..tangerines, Iceland poppies, my fav sherbet, marmalade, tropical delight….so many
beautiful things come to mind. And then, here comes that delicious blue. Blue…….perfect skies, my favorite Easter egg color, Matisse paintings, Hawaiian waters, spring time has finally arrived. What true bliss!!!!
Now let’s talk about the perfect shape for a handbag, just waiting to be filled with all of my favorite girlie items, etc., etc.,. So much wonderful room to delight in. Patent leather is a perfect fabric, isn’t it. Something is endearing about it to me. It always reminds me of my childhood, Mary Jane shoes, Easter purses, slickers, rainboots. What fun!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing beauty with all of us. How lucky we are!!!!

I would pay this beautiful purse forward to a dear friend who lives far away. We keep in touch through cards, emails, and Facebook posts. As a hard-working mother of three, she deserves to be spoiled every now and then, and I think this purse would be just the thing to brighten her spirits!

I’d love this beautiful bag to replace the drab, black nylon purse I currently use.

Gasp, I am in love with this bag. Not only would my friends and family know about this beautiful bag but anyone who will listen will know about this treasure. There is nothing I wouldn’t do to have this bag. Infact, I a seriously consider carrying this purse instead of flowers on my wedding day. Hey, it’s my wedding colors right?

My best friend and I both have orange bags now, but nothing so lovely as this! Would definitely have to share. You couldn’t possibly be sad carrying this around!

Tracy, I am a jewelry designer and in my latest pieces I have been using combinations of either Blood-orange and Turquoise or Coral and Cobalt; then I opened my Tracy Porter email and saw this bag and my first thought was, “Well, Tracy and I are definitely singing the same tune this season!” I always show off my new designs by wearing them myself and what better showcase could I give them than to wear them while sporting this gorgeous bag on my arm? I would like to add that as a new designer it is common to look to the greats for inspiration but it is inspiring when you look to the greats and find confirmation that your own ideas were already right on target. You are not only a fashion icon, but a mentor. Thank You, for both!

I WANT IT, I NEED IT,I’VE GOT TO HAVE IT!!!!! mover Coach, here come my Tracy Porter bag!!
J.

J’adore l’orange!

A lovely citrusy jolt to the senses.
Oversized and gutsy while retaining that feminine dash. Then it opens and the turquoise reminds winter weary eyes of glorious days to come.

I must own you!
Although, I do have a few friends who might want you almost as much.

I was a bit disappointed when everyone was referring to this purse as being red. On my monitor it is a beautiful orange. What a wonderful color!! Orange will go with so much more and it really does remind me of the color of a beautiful sunset. I thank you for using such gorgeous colors in your clothes too, they just make a day brighter, happier and more fun!!

Bag love. Shameful but so thrilling. Bag love. Forgive me for I will not repent!

I would love to keep this bag for myself, it is my favorite to colors, the colors I will one day decorate my living room in, however I think it would be best paid forward to my mom. She was supposed to be hired back at H&R Block in Nov 09 however they laid her off instead. She hasn’t been able to find a job since then and on top of the job situation, her husband of 2 years decided he wanted someone younger and ran off with some chick from Walmart. So I think by giving her this purse, it would help boost her confidence and get her back to where I know she should be On a side note, I really hope you make this a purse we could buy-maybe in another color and then the orange one would still be a one of a kind Thanks

This bag speaks to me of fun, fun, fun. A definite sight to behold…how can one not smile when seeing this bag? For me or for you?
For you, dear sister-in-law Amy, for those special date nights with your hubby…for those days when you need a little big of bright to your mommy wear.

That gorgeous purse takes my breath away! Every time I think Tracy has outdone herself, here she comes with the next hum dinger! Whenever I wear ANYTHING Tracy, I get lots of compliments which I secretely adore, so I have shared this website with lots of friends who find it as amazing as I do. If that glorious bag were mine, I’d form a Sisterhood of the Traveling Purse and all the women I love would get to carry it (rock concert? winery? weekend with that special squeeze?) and feel sexy and self confident!

I have no fancy prose to flatter you and sweep you off your feet, so I will be plain and truthful. It is such a beautiful bag and I have never owned such an extravagant item, nor do I ever win raffles, door prizes, or contests. Despite that knowledge, I am entering the contest because the bag is incredible, and just the idea that there is the slightest chance I could win makes me smile.

I’m a busy working mom of two, and never have time or money to spend too much on myself. I have just discovered your clothing line and save up for a special item each season, so I can feel special. Best of luck to all the ladies out there,
and congratulations to the winner!

Bonjour ma chérie !

Congratulation for the design of that treasure, it is truly fabulous and I wish that I`ll be the winner of that purse. I wish all the participants good luck and to have a gorgeous day. Much love and light your way. (( hugss ))
Bonne journée
Meilleure chance à toutes.

oh my GOODNESS. I will most certainly “share” this over on Facebook and on both my blogs … WOWZER. What a beauty of a bag – she looks like a big bright California orange, with a big gorgeous California blue sky inside. I’m seeing a California Poppy, our state flower – breezily swaying in front of our electric peri-blue window trim at the side of our garage. B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. And because my grandson’s initials are TP (for Trevor Paine), I will either carry the purse proudly myself (he is the 1st born of our 3 grands) OR I will gift it to his mother, my daughter Kristina. Congrats to the winner, whoever (whomever?) she shall be. ~ Davielle {aka, Princess Magpie}

I have to admit, I would keep it for myself. It is loveley!!! I am a mom of a 3 year old and 1 year old and have a need to feel fabulous!

WOW, what a STUNNING beauty this is!! Didn’t take me but a second to think this would be perfect for a friend of mine who needs some color in her life. She has had a hard year with a family illness that is not ending well and this would surely put a smile on her face, which I haven’t seen in a long time! Thank you, Tracy for your lovely clothes and inspiration!

Gorgeous bag! It makes me feel Spring is truly on it’s way. I imagine myself strolling down the lane, spring in the air and this jewel on my arm. I wait impatiently for both.

Tracy~
Loveeeeeee Ittttttttt!!!!!!
This purse is simply gorgeous EYE CANDY. A truly beautiful sunset color bringing birds of paradise and spring fever with it.
I will tell all my friends to look at your website ASAP at this fabulous TREASURE.
Of course I or my daughter would love to be the owner of this inspirational happy bag… We both need some happy in our lives after losing my husband 2 months ago to brain cancer.

Oh what a goregeously, stunning bag! The perfect color for any season! What a beautiful shape! Love the pockets and roominess. I can already picture what I would pair it with. EVERYTHING! I’d love to give it to a bestie or my Mom, but truth be told, I think it would be the perfect treat as I near the end of carrying a diaper bag for the last 2 years. Absolutely stunning! Love, love, love!

Great bag – it looks like it’s orange to me!
Love to have & show it off!

“I want to be a prima donna, donna, donna And this bag in terra cotta, cotta, cotta…is gonna, gonna, gonna…
Do the trick!

Well, I sit here in my tunic with my wonderful boots on. I NEED that bag. I am addicted to Tracy Porter. We need one in New Orleans. Happy Mardi Gras and please send me my new bag ASAP. Your devoted customer, Ann Laperouse

Me me me! I want this beauty for ME!!!! I will have to say in the case of this gorgeous bag, every bone in my body is selfish!! It has been so cold and this would certainly bring a huge rain of sunshine into anyone’s life. Hope I win!

Oh, what a beautiful bag! It is the strikingly gorgeous color combination of my family room! As much as I would like to win this exquisite prize, so many who have already expressed interest would be more deserving. So please make more, so I can purchase it and proudly carry those orange and turquoise hues wherever I go. Thanks to beautiful, talented Tracy Porter for bringing new flair to my fashion, and a bounce to my step.

Just have to chime in one more time due to the fact my head is spinning on this purse! It’s like I’m in la-la land…I am imagining the ULTIMATE story teller…each time the Sisterhood Traveling Purse is carried to a special destination, the lucky lady would then place a small trinket or token from the trip inside. Mine would be a U2 concert ticket stub; my sister, no doubt a wine cork; my mom, a prayer card, my oldest daughter, token from a Bears football game, my youngest daughter, something from Nashville; and who knows what my friends would come up with! How cool would that be…Thanks for reading my day dream!

I have to admit I would keep it as I own no Tracy Porter items. (Budget doesn’t allow) This would be my first!

Every woman loves a thing of beauty. Men don’t understand these strange little creatures they love. We surround ourselves with objects of curiosity…sometimes for no other reason than it gives us an “old time” feeling. Thank you, Tracy Porter, for your gift of creativity which you share with all…little everyday rainbows that make us smile inside….an invisible hug.

Perfect for my world…what a cute purse.

As a VIP Member at Viewpoints Website with a readership of 175,000 I would be more than delighted to share my love for this stunning Tracy Porter purse as well as with my 700 twitter followers and 350+ facebook fans. I’d also write a special Thank You on my blog~

I love this bag. I’ve been searching for just the right bag. The right size, the right color, the right GLAM. It’s been a long, cold winter here in Minnesota and this bag would be such a pick-me-up! I will gladly share the message, but this bag would be all MINE. Ok, I would share it with my daughter once in awhile so she could have the Tracy experience. It will sit proudly beside me where ever I go. No words necessary, it speaks for itself. When I get “the look” it’s no doubt that it’s for my new wonderful bag. We will travel to unknown destinations in seach of love, joy, and laughter. Who knows where your bag may end up….no matter….it will be with me forever!

What an eclectic handbag – both spirited and professional! A work of art, that is also functional and ready to make a statement with the woman who knows how to be subtly bold, so as to effect change. It’s just in time to resurrect us from the gloom and harshness of winter here on the east coast. The red-orange hue is rich and vibrant, and the lustous finish lends it further passion and energy. The turquoise interior brings forth a sense of peace and comfort, reminiscent of the serenity of the sea, while the gold details and designer name provide a polished finish. This is truly a treasure that can bring a sense of vibrancy to any season. I would be tempted to hold on to it, as I’m completing my training and work with children and adolescents for whom this would surely be eye-catching and a conversation opener. Many thanks for the giveaway, and best wishes for continued inspiration and success!

Love this bag – the color is my mother’s favorite so I would give it to her!

My mom always looks at this website for your fabulous ideas. Her birthday is coming up and i really want to give her something i know she will love and that is special. She has always loved purses and i know she will love this one. She really deserves it, she works so hard.

I was just contemplating turning one of my old black leather coats into a purse. While I am sure it would turn out okay, this beautiful purse would be a much better way to ring in the arrival of spring! Thanks for the chance to win!

FIGARO!!!!!…Sounds ridiculous to say, but “this isn’t just a bag”… I FEEL IT!…it’s “DOOR OPENING”…have you noticed how wearing a TRACY P. DESIGN opens doors for you?! When the compliments come, you have opportunities to talk to people you never would have had; a chance to make someone else feel GOOD, share the LOVE, spread the WORD, like we do right here! Okay, going further, this bag could actually be “LIFE CHANGING”!!!!!!!
Oh my dream bag…as an art professor, this is a test!!! what COLOR is my bag?…and how FUN would it be to enter the painfully QUIET library, daily, with such a LOUD purse!!!
and travels?!?#*…Watch out World…XXXOOXXOOXX,
KJ

T ` R ` A ` C Y ~~~~~~~~~WELL MY DEAR WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW??????? 259 BLOGS……KEEP IT UP YOU WILL OWN MY UMBRELLA YOU WILL….LOLOLOLO

SARAH JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I DO NOT DOUBT YOUR EYES……….I will go from Red to Orange……lolol…..

RACHEL…….so many wanting that bag….isnt it great!!!!!!!!

284 Blogs……WHERE will you venture to next……as I see you standing at the conference…….giving it your best…..I am their in spirit…….I AM!!!!!

My trips to Greenlake WI are no longer the same since I can’t visit your amazing stores in Ripon and Princeton. Walking around the stores in amazement of all the beautiful things were always the highlight of my weekends to the lake.

The red bag is swoon-worthy……just fabulous.
It would look great on my arm to replace my last Tracy Porter Bag (the bright green one with the orange lining) that I have “loved to pieces” by carrying it every single day for the last two years. Oh, pick me, pick me and let my green purse take a much deserved rest.
Kelly

Tracy Porters blog came in the my email again, I always get excited to see what treasures I can apprehend.
I missed out on the “trimmings”,and oh it made me sad. I was out of town that week, what a lovely box of goodies I could have had.
I’m racking my brain trying to Rhyme, but with laundry, grocery shopping and it being almost OSCAR time.

I really don’t have time about Baubles and Bags.
I”ll just straight out say it. “I REALLY WANT THAT BAG”!!!!!!!!!

The color, shine and shape of this show stopper of a bag ensures the fat lady will never get an opportunity to sing in its midst. Come with me darling red prop and together we will take our bows.

If I could share this bright beautiful bag with the world I would. I can bring it on home visits and change the boring look of the traditional black doctors bag and give it a unique flair with this non traditional bag that is also just big enough to carry all my equipment. As I am a home visiting doc and will bring cheer to my patients homes when I visit them. I understand when this bag was dreamed up a doctor was not on your mind to carry it from home to home. But just think of all the important things this bag will carry? I love making home visits and making my patients lives a little bit easier. I think this bag will enjoy it’s new job.

Red is my favorite color, blue coming so close, it almost topples red! What a wonderful shiny happy bag! We’ll dance along the streets of New York City in June as we take in the sites and sounds of the city. The Statue of Liberty will want to exchange her torch for the bag!

Tracy, you could make a bag made out of turnips look ridiculously stylish. To look at such a treasure and think “My life wouldn’t be complete until this is mine.” But outwardly say if we all can’t have this one of a kind find, please produce this fab-bag in Kelly Green and Navy to allow us all an opportunity to say out loud “My life wouldn’t be complete until this is mine,” and actually fulfill this request for spring. Please would you Tracy?

fanci’s late for the party and still on the mend,
my bed and my pillow a comfortable friend.
i’ll enjoy all the banter, the poetry and prose,
cause the most i can do is keep blowing my nose.
so, good luck to you ladies, rarebirds and dear durls,
it’s so nice to blog with such interesting girls.
my husband is scolding “you’re too ill to talk.”
but, “my fingers are working, so stop with your balk.”
“you know you can’t see with your sick, teary eyes.”
but i tell him, “i must check in with the magpies!”
“a beautiful purse is the prize they must win.
an original orange with turquoise and trim!”
he gives me that smile with a look of shagrin
and he knows this is a battle he surely won’t win.
my medications now calling,
sweet dreams soon will be mine.
lovely visions of beauty,
and my favorite tracey porter design.

Hello Tracey,

You have done it. (That purse has done it.) Although I am a devoted Tracey Porter fan (to the point that beyond my lawyerly suits for work, my closet is almost nothing but), I have never commented on your blog, or any blog for that matter. Just not a blog/facebook person.

Thanks for sharing all of your designs with us. They make life more fun. I have had two lovely chats with your sister Robin at the Santa Barbara store. Really nice person.

Warm Regards,
Selina

Thank you for your inspiration everyday. This purse would make a wonderful gift to my sis who is in need of cheering up. Continue spreading the love and inspiration everyday for that is what life is about.

I would work this bag with the FIREFLY JACKET and pile my ten chap lip remedies, corkscrew, iPad,calculator, tissues ,my son’s goodies, wallet ,cosmetic case etc…etc…I only wish the bag has magical powers and can make me fly like Mary Poppins -what fun!!! thanks for always keeping this blog so interesting,,,,

Am I colorblind? This bag looks like a luscious shade of orange/coral. Beautiful. I would love to add it to my collection of bags. Plus is it a perfect shade for spring and summer. I probably would keep it for myself as I love having different things, and none of my friends carry big bags. This bag would travel with me on my next trip.

I never win anything so this is probably a lost cause but sure would love to own this bag!!

Oh, how lucky can I be? This is the perfect bag to complete my mix and match travel bag wardrobe. Won’t I just be the dish strutting through the airport? Heads will turn and crowds will part in awe. “Who is that style maven in our midst?”, they’ll wonder. Long after my flight has lifted skyward they will still be pondering, “Was that the new reality show star?” or “Maybe I saw her on that hot HGTV design show…hmm.”
Oh yeah, I can feel the love already.

What a wonderful color bag…it’s just the perfect color…it’s my color! The size is outragious but it gets even better than that, there are so many pocket with which I can store all my stuff! Oh, what I could do with this bag… I could be so organized! I could carry this beautiful bag on my arm and when needed supply my friends with tissues and gum! I wouldn’t miss a call cause the pockets would keep my phone so handy. You’ve gotten me so excited…cant wait for Spring…only thing better would be to have the bag and sunshine!

One word girlfriend; Fierce!!!

That scrumptious purse is Divalicious! It would be the perfect spark of divine inspiration and strength for an underemployed writer like myself…Tracy, I would wear that red bag of courage with artful persistence! Sharing, sharing in wistful tendrils….

My sister, Brenda, and I love all your wonderful items. I know Brenda is already in love with this bag. And if I am the lucky winner, I would pass it right on to her. She needs to have something bright and cheery in her life right now. Many thanks for your kind consideration.

dear tracy,
orange, the color of sunrise and sunset. anyone who knows all about your lovely little tracy porter designs must have a favorite sun watching experience whether she found it traveling to lush tropical spaces or the sweet space in her own backyard. we know why orange is to die for—it makes us happy. orange popsicle happy even when it is 5 below zero and the thought of cold may make a lesser woman shiver. but those of us who love orange know that a popsicle is possibility because it helps us transcend the cold and just for a moment be somewhere warm like maybe southern california where orange is queen. no wonder our wisconsin goddess, tracy, moved to santa barbara where she will not only make fabulous baubles and bags, she will grow oranges in her backyard.

je t’aime orange,

edye

Wow over 300 posts! Your bag is a much desired item it appears! Well Tracey I am not a singer therefor it may sound a little different but here goes…All the way from Northern BC Canada you will hear the echo…”Where did you get that bag?”
This I know as the color would brightly shine against all our many feet of white.
Now how scrumptious is that…lol!!

Tracy Porter….. I love your style and your eclectic play on colors. I have many of your wonderful pieces. There are not many bags that I like these days, but, really love this one, and would really love it if I could win it!!! I would carry it with great pride!!!

I would SO KEEP this bag! It is gorgeous and my favorite color…All I can say…or sing (in my most operatic voice)…is Wow!

Red/Orange! Goes with all the trends: pops against the neutrals, beautiful with the florals, ruffles, and rich colors, divine with nautical. The shape will be fun back to military. The patent is at once classic and on-trend. Definitely a keeper. Love your blog. You always put a smile on my face, Tracy. Thank you!

zing!
Tracy, I love your zest for life. I am a wanna-be from afar and have gained so much from your lifegiving touches…. I love reading your blog and watching your videos. I have made many a fantastic birthday cakes for my 7 kids…inspired by your cake video. I am pregnant with number 8 and love being a mom and like to look like I have some style and zing when I leave the house. I could have spit up on my shirt, a child on my hip, sporting a messy ponytail and still have some zing in my step with this bag… this would be “one of my favorite things” this spring and summer!
thanks for your inspiration!

Ab Fab bag … my autistic son loves anything red, and his mom having bag this would make him so happy – and I would adore it as well. You are my colorful mother-of-boys inspiration, always!

Hi Tracy,

I was introduced to your line of eclectic style a couple years ago. Not only have I enjoy shopping for myself but I’ve also enjoyed shopping for my sisters, mom and mother-in-law. Because of our (my husband too) seeds of giftgiving, I’ve also recieved a Tracy Porter harvest of gifts. The bag would be a bonus to my Tracy Porter collection.
Thank you for being beautifully different!
God bless,
Tracy R.

FaBuLoUs! The “Zip” to any outfit and in my step with this purse. I know the purse would not want to leave my arm..sOoooo I guess that means it would stay with me if I won it!

OH I think I would have to keep it for myself but would share with my girls. I would wear an oriental poppy in my hair to match the blazey orangey sweetness of the purse. I think I would take it to church first for all the ladies to see!

In my operatic voice, I sing to thee, my dear Tracy
“Vissi D’arte, Vissi D’amore, Vissi D’borsa (I live for Art, I live for Love, I live for that Bag!) as the heroine Tosca might lament as her eyes feast on the beautiful treat.
And if this bag were ever to be received by me I would put it in a silent auction for a charity for all 3,000 ladies and men to see!
Ciao, ciao!

I love this purse and I know exactly who I would give it to: my friend Lori in Minnesota. She is a fashionista who would wear and use this purse well. Her son Cole is soon completing his last cycle of chemotherapy after a devastating diagnosis of Ewing’s Sarcoma last April. This purse would be a great gift to celebrate the end of almost a year of grueling and life-changing medical care, not only for Cole, but for Lori and the rest of her family. I know she would love it!

This purse is such a dandy
Like a sweet piece of chocolate candy
You’ll take it again and again.

It’s red is bright and cheery
Everyone will certainly query
Where did you get that gem?

I’ll say Tracy Porter
and have to buy one for my daughter
Or I’ll never see it again.

Oh wow- what a beautiful bag!!! This is the first time I’ve ever “blogged” but I would sing opera on the street for that bag!!!! I would selfishly and deliciously keep that bright red beauty all to myself as I turn 40 this spring! I was just telling my sister what an inspiration your videos have become to me, especially in timing with this approaching monumental birthday – I want to move into this new era of my life with all the beauty, style, creativity, passion, and humor that you promote, Tracy! Thank you for those videos! I find them truly inspiring – on many different levels! xoxoxo

A relationship with a purse is special for women. I could have a beautiful affair with this one for a very long time! I promise to lovingly care for it so please make it mine!

C’est Magnifique, Ya’ll!!! This Texas girl is in LOVE!!! Just the kind of FAB bag that I can take to preschool for a trike-a-thon or to a junior high basketball game!!!! Been a fan of Miss Tracy Porter FOREVER!!!! I have your books, and look to them for inspirations and smiles all the time. Crossing my fingers and my toes!

I’ve shared about this wonderful bag – of course if I won, I’d keep it all to myself! I am having a baby soon so I do have to confess that it might have to hold a diaper or too, but I can’t think of a lovelier piece to do so!

I am not gonna lie–if I were to win this it would be mine. All mine. It’s absolutely gorgeous! I would drag it to every lacrosse game, field hockey practice, baseball game and karate class and every Girls’ Night Out, proclaiming the fabulousity (fabulousness? fabulousment?) of the Tracy Porter line!

All my only black bags would be put to rest with a treasure like that bag. Life changing I’m certain.

A daydream…..

OSCAR ACCEPTANCE SPEECH – Best Supporting Actress for TRACY PORTER’S “THE BAG”

STUNNED, elated, honored!!!!!!!! I’m weeping with joy; I’m in wonderland… I’m a Winner!!! Me!!! …. winner of Best Supporting Actress for Tracy Porter’s, “The Bag”. A film of extraordinary sartorial delight. My life’s work is now complete. I’ve reached the pinnacle, the apex, the top of the heap….. I’m queen of the hill, the mountain, even Queen of the world. I’m the Queen in the King’s Speech, I’m Queen of the Fighters… I invented Facebook… ok, I invented Facepage, but that’s another story….. And therefore my darlings, I must thank the film’s star, the one, the only, THE BAG. The Bag, that beauteous, splendiferous accoutrement — a spectacular, lustrous and shining example of handbag gloriousness… the inspiration for a film destined to increase heart palpitations of fashionistas, stylists — and probably “man-bag” guys — worldwide. And yes, THE BAG is coming home with ME! AND!!!!!!! HUGE, HUGE thanks to TRACY PORTER, my idol and the film’s creator. Big squeezy hugs to my dream friend; thank you, my fabulous Tracy, for including me in your cinematic extravaganza. Tracy! How can I explain Tracy. Such an incredible woman. Amongst running a business, a blog, a plethora of videos, a home and hearth, and the devoted mother of a tribe of small rambunctious children, this woman wrote, directed, AND produced “The Bag”. Tracy Porter, a woman whose creativity whirls and swirls through the magical corridors of fashion and film design; an ethereal woman who soars with the stars and dances with moonbeams. A stunning icon with a devoted fan base. An inspiration to us all!!!!! And finally….. my thanks to the legions who worked on this film, to my hair people, to my plastic surgeon, to the drug store who supplied my makeup, AND thanks to my undergarments who are the greatest support of all…

Love, love, the bag. I would absolutely love to surprise my mom with it. Our family has been having a tough time this past year… she broke her ankle and it’s still healing, my dad has been in a depression, but thankfully he’s doing better…and my husband is going through cancer treatments. I am NOT going for a sympathy win…but I know it would so brighten my mom’s day, and she is the QUEEN of bright colors. Oh… and she’s going on a long deserved cruise next month, and would that bag be the most awesome perfection accessory on the boat??? I say YES, YES, and YES!!!!

If I were to sing with all my pride
I would sing of This purse, yet not by MY side

For in my closet MY purses do hide
So,I would sing of this bag on Tim Wylie’s bride

For when do you see such love from a man
To open his heart to place this purse in her hand

A bag so perfect so fine and elite
Belongs to this woman as her birthday treat.

If a song of the heart wins the bag out the door
Please give my winning to #194

This purse would look divine with the Tempest Vintage Biker Boots I just ordered!!!!!

Happy Monday everyone, make it a great day.

I am here. I have been overwhelmed…long story… I never win anything….but when I saw this purse I thought just maybe this time… The bag is beautiful. It is the perfect color for the spring and summer. I would keep it for myself and use it as a “mom bag”… ie baby items, all the things my little girls forgets that she seems to remember when we pull up to her school…for the mom things I needs to survive (brush,lotion,lipstick,tissues,etc) The best part it has Tracy’s name on it, to remind me to be “True to Myself” even in my overwhelmedness!!!! Have a good day to all..!

I’m sorry, but all this shameless sucking up to Tracy reminds me of a high school popularity contest.

I am watching the sky…..hoping for a new bag. I really need one too and haven’t seen anything as beautiful as this one! I would treasure it forever as I do my other Traci delights! Yes, I will tell friends and family too!!

WOW!!! 328+ beautiful Tracy fans have responded so far? Well, I am a huge fan and I may feel a slight guilty pleasure keeping this bag all for myself….I may just have to start a “one of a kind” library system, so we can all check this bag out for a good two weeks and that would put us into next year with this many “one of a kind” ladies and gents responding and yearning for this “one of a kind” juicy and delicious bag. Since IT IS a “one of a kind and delicious bag” we may just have to do that so we can squeeze all of the juice out and drink it up! It seems to be the “healthiest” decision to me so far with this many people craving this delicious dose of Vitamin C!!! Have a wonderful and healthy day!!! This is so much fun!!! (I have a feeling this bag could end up in every nook and cranny of the WORLD!!! )

Orange crush.
Travel with me.
To Biarritz and back.
Across the pond.

Me, with wild papaya curls,
and you in glossy, patent glory.

Your purse strings have my heart strings.

Are you big enough to hold my dreams?
And all my sweet surprises . . .
A bottle of Veuve Clicquot to share,
dark chocolate, red lipstick,
my Painted Bouquet sheath to slip on
for cafe pursing and perching.

Together, we’ll riff and rave.
Bloom and blog.
Saucy stories await.
Let the wanderlust begin.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bag-the color is electric-so perfect for transitioning from relaxed Winter into invigorating Spring!! I will share this with friends & “TP fanatics” (whom undoubtedly already KNOW)-WELL DONE TRACY!

So hope this doesn’t sound tooo strange… just wanted you to know, plain and simple. Love the purse and I would keep it myself!!! Miss you back in Wisconsin!

FAB sexy fashion statment for me with this on my Tracy Porter admiring soul… lalalove it!

Brava bella!~xoxoBeth

This is the happiest handbag I’ve ever seen. I love, love ,love it!!

I LOVE red bags! I would share it with my daughter! It’s such a happy color!

I wanna get my SHINE on! Yes! Yes! YES! I WANT this bag! I want them to see me coming! Woo-Hoo! A siren I will be, with this on my arm! And though I KNOW I would never give it away, I WOULD share it with my best friend, who also happens to be my SISTER and a fashion maven all her own! She is the epitome of glamor and I know she would love to own half of this bag. Choose me and you will have two, count ‘em TWO – winners in one!

Smashing Indeed!!! Is there a better combination than orange & turqoise? I think not. Any girl would look divine with this beautiful bag on her arm!!

Try though I may, romance is not my forte’.
My beloved has carried a leather backpack
for seven plus years-it’s been showing its wears, and brings her to tears
when she dreams of donning a new bag.
A mother of three and simpleton to me;
She never splurges for herself, rather adorning our daughter with beautiful dresses
and accessories while bearing the stresses
of motherhood like no woman I know possibly could.
I tried to uplift her fleeting fashion spirit
this past Christmas, but couldn’t come near it.
The black backpack bag, though nice-looking online, upon opening at home I could easily opine-this was not the gift I intended to find.
In quality and character it lacked a great deal, of course I now realized why the price was a steal.
The praticality of pockets was virtually null,
I knew her reaction would surely be dull.
So I returned it, and had been searching anew,
Until I saw your precious bag with beautiful red hue.
I know the need is great for a bag that does many things, but that is my wife, my life, our every thing.
I pray you may bless her and fulfill her true need;
With this dedication I’ve planted my seed.
Her sweet, substantial smile will light a room;
With this new bag on her arm, it most surely will bloom.
A hopeless romantic though I am not,
In my heart of hearts I love her a lot.

Goodnight everyone, God bless, as we lay our weary heads to rest. We pray, we hope, we dream tonight, of who will win the beautiful bag at midnight. Good luck everyone and sweet dreams.

Just think of the places she’ll go! Maybe to exotic locales…like….the grocery store! (We’ll visit the waxed tangerines just long enough for them to be jealous of her slick sheen) And then, after that, who knows…the world is our oyster!…Maybe a quick jaunt to the post office. Or course, she just might have to pose for a portrait or two along the way. ‘Cause with shine that sleek…oooh-wee!…who wouldn’t want a glam shot? The mailman just might have to be revived.

I love purses! This one is perfect! thank you!

Hope I can sneak my entry in! I’d love to have this bag to give-away on FishWithTrish.com. I work work with actor Kirk Cameron and author Ray Comfort at the The Way of the Master TV show. P.S. I’m entering late because I just now got wind of the give-away. Praying you’ll pick me.
