Updated: Voting has closed. Thank you!
Seriously, there were some awesome purses in the flickr pool. Make sure to check them all out! Thank you for everyone who participated! You people are amazing. Thanks to Sachiko from Tea Rose Home, Abby from Sew Much Ado, and Disney from Ruffles and Stuff, we got it narrowed down to just 10—man that was hard!
Voting poll is on the right in the sidebar—you just have to scroll under the BlogHer ad.
Remember that I would love if you are a finalist to post about voting, but please, just let them vote for their favorites and don’t make this a popularity thing:). I think the best purse really deserves to win!
So, in no particular order, here are our favorites. They are so lovely! I love them all! Be sure to click on the purse name to be able to view the other pictures they provided in flickr.
Voting ends Friday, October 15th, at 11:59 AM. Winners announced Friday afternoon.
(PLEASE NOTE: The first two bags are very similar in name—make sure you are voting for the one you like better!)

Wow! What craftsmanship! I choose Penny’s Hobo Bag. It’s beautifully sewn in a gorgeous color. The shape is pretty, and seems roomy enough for every day without being too big to weigh down a night out. :o) Larri at Seams Inspired
