supergirl

She's the girl in two worlds. Outside the glass, but wholeheartedly believing she's inside the tank. A three foot tall testament that it's okay to dream. To be mesmerized by where wish you were. She dreams of the day she'll be able to glide through the water and drift effortlessly with sea turtles. But she gets so lost in her desire to be there, that she doesn't realize she's holding her breath. I've been there. Holding my breath. Holding out. Holding off the everyday moments. But I loved what Tracey said yesterday when she suggested that being present today doesn't mean you can't be filled with dreams for tomorrow.

Sometimes we just need to remember to breathe.

*In celebration of Give-away May, and also the fact that the next shipment will be here any minute (YAY!), we're giving away an Epiphanie bag of your choice! Don't forget to check out the new Lola in black! Leave a comment today, and one lucky winner will be chosen by tomorrow! Good luck!

I would love to surprise my wife with this bag. She has been asking for this Epiphanie bag for a while but I am not much of a shopper! This would make her happy and when mama is happy everyone is happy!

i'm trying to see the glass as half full today....
so in honor of that, i decided to throw my name in for a chance to win....

thanks for letting me believe.....

Thank you for the wonderful post...and for the chance to win one of these bags. Every time I convince my husband to order one for me (i.e. right before a gift-giving holiday or, you know, when he desperately needs brownie points) the site says "sold out!" One of these days the planets will align, I'm sure of it.

Wow Great give away.

as a wonderful husband, i don't have any use for a camera purse. but my wife would love it, and it'd be great if i could hide winning it until her birthday in july!

Thank you for hosting a giveaway. I'm entering for my cousin. I have been saving up for an Epiphanie bag for 6 months and I almost have my amount, but she won't be able to have enough for a long time. Maybe I will get us the Lola's in red and black. Since they added the black I haven't been able to make up my mind on which I want - I always loved the Lola the most, and was excited to have a bag other than black in my closet. But then WHAM, BLACK and it screams to me! The neutrality of it. It can go anywhere and with anything (except for super fancy schmancy parties where you need a clutch). So if I get one of each color, we can trade off. Right?!

Then I will need to get other cousins (I don't have sisters) in on the party and get the other 2 Epiphanie bags, and we will all be able to switch.

I am amazed at this photograph! The clarity of the image / reflection in the glass, the murkiness of the water, the light on the little girl's face, the depth of field, the composition. Absolutely beautiful!
Also, I would love to win a bag.
