I am all out of clever so instead I'll just attempt to curry favor by giving you free stuff.
Be fearless.... leave a comment below and you'll be in the running to win $25 to be used in either the Byrd & Belle or the Gertie Byrd shop. Grab a set of coasters or a wool ipod case or take your $25 and use it to get that laptop sleeve you've been pining over. Whatever you wish.
Just like last month... all the wallflowers who are biting their nails thinking... "gosh, I really would like to comment but could I possibly pipe up and say I want something for free? That doesn't seem right; getting something without paying for it? I mean, who am I to ask to be given something without....". You need to stop being so mid-western and leave a comment. Right now.
Fine Print: Your comment must be attached to THIS post. Somewhere in your comment, leave a note about what you're going to get with your $25 when you are chosen as the big winner (not that I will hold you to it... I'm just interested). I will choose the winner Friday, October 23rd. If you live in my house, you are not allowed to enter. If you won last month, please sit on your hands and let someone else have a turn (I'm looking at you CapreeK).
Oh, what would I do with a gift certificate to your etsy shop(s)... My trusty MacBook Pro recently died (making it less than trusty), so I've invested in a new machine, a shiny, albeit smaller, MacBook Pro. Were I to be chosen, I would put it toward a new laptop sleeve as your make me drool every time I look at them.

Yay! I would love to use the certificate to get one of those lovely pouches- either the pencil one or the leather one. Alternatively a laptop case!

It would be oh so hard to choose...but I would probably have to go with a laptop sleeve!

Already a proud owner of one of your iPhone cases, I'll Leave a message in hopes that I can complement it with a sexy leather pouch or laptop sleeve.

hello, laptop sleeve!!!
Posted by: Kate | October 16, 2009 at 10:19 AM
Ummm. I would like an iPod case to complement my iPod case, BUT, this one I would use as a wallet.

I've been eyeing that laptop case. My beautiful Macbook Pro deserves a beautiful case :)

Since I love my newly purchased laptop sleeve, I should probably get one for my iPhone too!
Posted by: Christian | October 16, 2009 at 11:41 AM
This is not good, not good at all! I want many many items from your shop. Winning will sure give me an excellent "excuse" to spend in your shop. I already ordered a laptop sleeve. Perhaps a Sunday Bag next?
Posted by: j | October 16, 2009 at 03:16 PM
ooh a laptop sleeve!! I've been eyeing it for ages, they are just so absolutely beautiful. It'd be a hard decision though, I really love the ipod cases too, but my new macbook would be totally rockin' in that case!
Posted by: Emily | October 16, 2009 at 09:41 PM
I'll put aside my mid-western-ness and throw my name in the hat for the prize. I have been eyeing the iPod cases, but I might go crazy and and get a Mac sleeve.
Posted by: Chuck | October 16, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Please pick me. I own things from your shop already, and I want MORE!!!

I doubt that I'll win anything but I love your blog but not as much as I love your laptop sleeve and ipod wool case. I love that you used the leather strip which absolutely accentuates the color and fabrics of the case. Very good and clean design.

i am eyeing the pencil pouch ... love the print.
Posted by: grace | October 17, 2009 at 09:56 PM
Since I just ordered the laptop sleeve....I would try to be all matchy-match and get the ipod touch case.
Posted by: Melanie | October 17, 2009 at 10:47 PM
Awesome laptop case!
Posted by: Lemons | October 18, 2009 at 01:32 AM
Strange my comment didn't show up. In anycase, my very old iBook died recently so I've had to get a new computer and I've been searching everywere for a suitable laptop sleeve. So I've found myself here! I'm a bit on a budget but this laptop sleeve you make looks amazing so that's why I'm here. =)
Posted by: Albert | October 18, 2009 at 09:23 AM
well well... so the story goes that my old laptop bag was actually a piece of crap! Have been searching for something that's more sturdy and economically feasible.
Anyways, long story short... found your sleeves, and would love to buy it... especially with that $25 gift certificate
*doo doo doo*

It would be a tough choice between the iPhone case or the laptop sleeve. They are both impeccable pieces. But probably the iPhone case since I travel more with that.
