Leave me a comment on this post
{including you email address}
for a chance to win this fabulous canvas bag from Forest Bound.

Here are the details on this bag:

Been on the hunt for a great bag to pack full and take with you on a weekend adventure? Well, look no further! 
We’re excited to introduce the ESCAPE Canvas Utility bag by Forestbound. 
A number of years ago we found an incredible vintage canvas bag at a flea market that we couldn’t get out of our head – and this is our own interpretation and reinvention of that bag. 
The Forestbound ESCAPE Canvas Utility Bag is made from sturdy 12oz beige canvas. Features split leather handles and buckle straps with metal hardware. Also features metal feet on the base of the bag, a water resistant fiberboard interior bottom panel, and 12 gauge rivet secured steel dowels at the top opening of the bag to provide a wide opening as well as a secure closure.
Made in the USA, printed here in our Massachusetts based studio.
Measures approximately – 20″ wide, 14″ tall, 6″ deep. 
For a extra entry, follow forest bound on instagram
and
for a third, follow my sweet savannah on instagram.

Please leave 3 separate comments for each one with your email address.
I will pick a random winner on Friday!

xoxo

      Wonderful bag! I wish we could have escaped this weekend, but I am recovering from some surgery so it has been more of a recuper-cation!

      Looking forward to perusing all their photos!

      I wanted to escape–does that count? My husband and I spent this holiday weekend canning 41 quarts of home grown green beans! I love this bag and now I need an escape. Thanks for the opportunity.

    10. hyperbolic says

      Unfortunately spending my memorial day waiting for the rain to stop, but this bag brightened my day. Even if I don't win, I believe I'll buy it!

    11. Nissa says

      I wish I could have. However we had a good weekend starting summer off with homemade ice cream with friends and family! Great bag! I do however go out of town for an overnight trip next weekend.

    21. Petie says

      No escaping until June when we go to San Diego with our kids and grandkids. We did have family over for dinner and that is always fun. Arizona is usually hot this time of year, but our weather here has been beautiful, so it seemed like everybody we knew stayed home.Can't wait for the beach. My favorite place in the world.

      I would love this bag! My husband and I are newlyweds and while he didn't do anything exciting this weekend, we have our first big trips together this coming month and I have been searching for a bag like this but nothing stood out , and when I saw this today I knew I had to have it ! Thank you for this contest ! Crossing my fingers! I would love to take this with us as we newlyweds have so many places to travel and make memories at 🙂

      I don't know that my original comment posted. We had dear friends get married this Saturday. Other than that, we've lounged around and enjoyed the long weekend at home with no plans. It's been so great. I love this bag! Thank you for the giveaway. 🙂

      We had a graduation party, grilled, relaxed & watched movies at night with popcorn, & visited the cemetary to see my husband's father, & both of my grandparents – including my grandpa who was a WW2 Korean veteran from Iwo Jima. He was a fearless belly gunner and passed away a year ago. Also watched my Army veteran Dad in the Memorial Day Parade this morning. Now enjoying time spent at home with family. I would be honored to give one of these amazing bags a " good home".

    248. Jana says

      This was my "relax from escaping" weekend! 😉 I've spent almost all of the last month of weekends out of town! Still managed to get in an hour drive to some new antique stores! Also, I did ESCAPE to my garden for some much needed planting! Always feel like I can get away among the flowers when the weather is nice! Next weekend concert bound again!

      Don't know what happened to my original comment, but we stayed home and cooked dinner for the fire station that we have adopted. Had a great time visiting with them. Would love the bag. Thank you to all who have served for us!

      Live on a water canal in Florida, but still need to ESCAPE. We love to explore seaside towns along the coast. The "Escape" bag would be perfect for our seaside adventures.

      We have a new grandbaby that some of the family hadn't gotten to meet yet. We had them over all weekend and what a fun time it was. She was the hit of the holiday.
      What a nice size bag for our little mini trips we take during the year.
      Thanks Patty patpat115@windstream.net

      This Memorial Day weekend was one of the most relaxing that I can remember in a long time. We played in the backyard with the children and grilled out. I had some mommy alone time to pamper myself with a mani and pedi and read my book. It was amazing!

      Hiked Storm King Mountain in New York (and then visited the awesome Storm King Arts Center). Due to a combination of a slight fall and using some muscles in my legs for the first time ever, I'm hobbling around like a little old lady today!
