Eeks! Sheaffer and I are just so excited about today’s giveaway! This giveaway is specifically for one of my favorite groups of people…
TEACHERS
(and other people in the school system too)!!!
Some of my very favorite people in the world work in schools. And now that I have a school aged kiddo, I’m even more thankful for their hard work, love, kindness and compassion as they educate sweet kids. This contest is for anyone who works in the school system…speech therapists, secretaries, nurses, occupational therapists, aides…anyone who works in education :).
Okay, remember at the beginning of the summer when Sheaffer was gushing over her Barrington Bag and I joked that I wish I had one, and then the nice people at Barrington sent me one (so unexpected and kind!)? Well, these sweet people have agreed to giveaway a bag to you and 4 of your teacher friends! Woohoo!
The lucky winner will not only receive a bag for herself but she’ll be able to select 4 other people who work in education to win them as well! How fun is that?!?!?! They will be able to customize their own Nantucket or St. Anne tote.
Enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win and then make sure you tag the people you would select if you won this contest!
And for those of you who aren’t in education, they’re allowing you to use promo code BACKTOSCHOOL for the next 48 hours to receive free shipping off of your own custom bag too!
If you haven’t been to Barrington’s site, you really should. You get to customize the type and size of your bag, the design, the color and the monogram. My bag is extra large and perfect for traveling. It fits everything…see…
…even a turtle shell, sword and bow and arrow fit inside :).
Here are some of the other bags you could make (but honestly, the possibilities are pretty endless)…
If you work in education out there, thank you so much for everything you do. From the bottom of my heart, I truly appreciate your service.
Teachers and other people who work in schools, enter the Rafflecopter below and tag your co-workers, teacher friends or anyone who works in the school system on Face Book and/or Instagram for your chance to win one bag for yourself and 4 bags to gift. Plus, you can also pin our top graphic on Pinterest for extra chances to win!
Best of luck educators! And for everyone else, don’t forget, you have 48 hours to use the free shipping code BACKTOSCHOOL at Barrington :).

Claire says
What a great bag! As a teacher, I know that a great bag makes going back to school a slightly easier transition!! Thanks for sponsoring this giveaway 🙂
After reading your blog for months, I {just} started a one. I was inspired after you recommended Annie F. Down's book Let's All Be Brave. Once I picked up the book, I knew that was my step of bravery right now. Thanks for sharing what God laid on your heart – it impacts others! {If you want to check out the blog, its http://www.fashionandfeathers.com}

Who I would share with….
1) my college bestie who is completing her 2nd year of teaching after working in school for 12 years and going back to school to finish her degree + alternative certification.
2) my bestie who is like a sister to me…her sister was another bestie and was killed in 2006 car accident, she is a speech therapist with a daughter also starting kinder this year and a reader of both blogs & has several of the "must have" items!
3) my school bestie – the best gift of last year, a sweet friend at work as I transitioned from Corporate life into teaching. She's also a reader of both blogs and has several "must have" items – we often start our day in rotunda talking about the mornings posts/instagrams and items shown!
4) a sweet teacher friend who I've known for years – she always calls her students her "friends", she loves them so well, loves the world like Jesus does, is selfless and giving of her time and talents.
HireRoadrunners says
So very cool!! I choose Heidi Sawyer, Stefanie Cisneros, Dionne Davila, and Rachel Enochs!! (Not sure if this is the right way to select!)
Jessica Shrock says
I would love to bless a teacher at my kids school, one being my own sister! Great give-away

Hi Shay!

Regan Reeder says
Wouldn't this be a fun way to start my new school year in my classroom?!
Emmy says
Shay-you have me obsessed with this bag. Unfortunately, I'm not eligible to enter (I work in higher ed, but not a teacher! I have sent your blog to my teacher friends though) but I was looking at their site and wondering how the inside of the totes were? Any insight? I enjoy a lot of pockets or dividers in my totes 🙂 I'm torn between the st. anne and the zipper top Savannah…decisions, decisions!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Some of the bags zip up and some don't, but they should all have some pockets inside (not dividers though). I love mine so much that I really think I'm going to buy a smaller version to tote around my work. Have a great day!
kris says
I would love to have this bag!!! I would share with my team mates who happen to be my VERY good friends as well! There are 5 of us so perfect!!!!!! Thanks for recognizing us!!
The Hays Family says
