Fabulous competition, who wouldn't want to receive this!! The most unusual item in my bag is a rock (from our garden) with the England flag painted on it, why I hear you say? Wherever I go I have a little piece of England that's always with me. Sad, mad and true! x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That little bluebird pillow is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteMy 'has to be in my handbag' staple is my Avon lipgloss. I get yucky coldsores if I go without some pretty pink greasiness slapped on. :)
What a happy give away!!! The item I cannot live without in my bag? My CREDIT CARD! :) Then it would have to be my smart phone! :)
ReplyDeleteUnusual item in my bag right now? I have a Netflix DVD that needs to be mailed! :)

ReplyDeleteMost unusual item, hmm, a tin of Donald Duck mini sweets from Disneyland Paris that I bought just to make up to a certain amount so my daughter could get a free 'Bolt' soft toy! xx
ReplyDeleteHmmm, well the most unusual thing in my handbag, (and I have one in every bag) is my antiseptic hand gel. With the amount of time I have spent in Medway Hospital lately I need it! My mum is back in there so they will be coming in for a lot more use.
ReplyDeleteGlad your Rosie is better and thanks for the lovely giveaway.

Mmmm just looked in my bag and the most unusual thing in there is...a piece of wool that my Little Miss spun at a recent local show.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Rosie is better.
Brilliant Giveaway! My handbag is full of dog treats and poop scoop bags! oh and the odd dog too!
ReplyDeleteI have a westie, two scotties and a chihuahua!
Right now the strangest thing in my bag is a staple/nail gun. The can't leave home without it item would have to be Weleda Skin Food-for hands, lips, chapped stuff.
ReplyDeleteSo very glad to hear that your sweet girl is on the mend. That must have been so difficult on a dear mum's heart. Here's to good health and lots of everyday joys!
Well what a beautiful bag and what an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI just had a look in my own bag to see what I thought the most unusual thing in it is today and I reckon it's gotta be the St John's face shield! (the plastic thing you can use to give mouth to mouth). I sound like a bit of a saddo but it's one of those things i think if I take it out I'm sure to need it (a bit like always having to put the lottery on in case your numbers come up). I do hope never to need it but hey ho, it's staying for now :)

Hi,
ReplyDeletei am from the netherlands and am follower for a few months..
I hope you are all steady again after everything you've been through.
One month ago I bought a look a like cath kidston bag (it was a cathy kingston) But that was really fake, the zipper doens't work and other things are not how they use to be.
So I would love to have a real Cath Kidston bag!! I always carry my purse and organiser with me in my bag.. And my mobile for when something is worng on school with my kids..And so much stuff I don't really need every day ;)
What a beautifull give away!
(Sorry if my english is not perfect)
Have a nice day!
I always have dog poo bags(nappy sacks actually)in my bag and the odd dog biscuit as well.
ReplyDeleteI've just been catching up with your posts and was very sorry to hear of all the trauma you've been through with Rosie and the awful experience you've had with the NHS.I think many of us have been shocked by the treatment of the elderly in our hospitals at first hand.I certainly have.
Lovely giveaway. I just love Cath Kidston, and her bag is to die for! I can't live without my sunglasses. I drive 2 hours to and from work, so forgetting them would be disastrous.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I cant live without that lives in my handbag is the antibacterial handwash you use without adding water. I volunteer in a charity shop and use it there, also when I take the plastic to the recycling bin and get covered in gone off milk lol
ReplyDeleteAnd now the most unusual item in my purse is a can of peanuts. I took them to work to snack on and then forgot to take them home. You know, I've been wondering my purse is so heavy. :)
ReplyDeleteJust having a rummage around my bag and I have pulled out a ball of wool, a rather over-sized pen, 2 chocolate biscuits, a child's toy, 25 pence and a list of things to do as long as my arm with only one thing crossed off!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the norm for me I must admit! I do get the odd surprise when the children throw things in (last week included a big (but important stone), endless leaves and twigs and a caterpillar smuggled in!!)
Wonderful giveaway,
Thank you
Karen
karen@bigredcar.plus.com
Would love to win such a wonderful bag!
ReplyDeleteI could not live without my Android Incrdible and my planner. My whole life and everything I need to do is in that planner!
ReplyDeletestar11_80@yahoo.com
Hmm. The most unisual items I EVER had in my handbag must date back to when our boys were little. The day I discovered that I'd been carrying around two bottles of Macdonald's water and two plastic Happy Meal toys for a whole week was the day I decided to buy a smaller handbag! It worked (lol). Thanks for this great opportunity to enter your giveaway, Happy.
ReplyDeleteMy most unusual item is a shower curtain hook (actually, a couple dozen) and I know that being a mother of invention yourself, you'll appreciate what they are for: Everything!
ReplyDeleteBecause I sell my handmade goods at a weekly market, I use them for suspending various things from the frame of my canopy such as my signs, my circle scarves, etc. I also end up gifting other vendors with them because when they see me using them, they are always wishing they had some! The thin metal ones, you know, rather like giant pear-shaped paper-clips...12 a dollar at the dollar store...
Love the bag so much, fingers crossed!
Great giveaway! Item I can't live without?? a little tin of vaseline!
ReplyDeleteFriends usually accuse me of turning my handbag into a suitcase of sorts! Funniest thing...I got pulled at airport security for a search once b/c of a suspicious item...If I purchase anything of value I never pack it, I always carry it on. I had to explain that the "item" was a cherry pitter! I had been looking for one for ages and found one at a store while visiting a friend! That prize was not going to get lost so I put it in my purse! The security guards had a great laugh and had to show it to all the other guards incase another one ever showed up!
ReplyDeleteDear Happy, what a lovely give away! I am a great fan a you and Cate Kidson!
ReplyDeleteI always have my purse with a picture of my little Frederike in it as very beloved thing! And the most unusual is a clothespin haha!
Dear regards from the Netherlands, Dagmar
In my bag I have an old screw cap from a wine bottle....often its better value to have a bottle of wine when we eat out but I'd better not drink the whole bottle at that moment. So I take the rest home for later! (pubs tend to keep the screw caps)
ReplyDeleteomg-what a gab giveaway, in my bag i have items from day trips with the girls-i.e a pebble, shell, toy and believe they r my good luck charms
ReplyDeletewhat a great giveaway!! I adore Cath and would just love to have a bag of hers : )
ReplyDeleteThe strangest thing I have in my purse is a little mixture of rubbing spices in a piece of tin foil. The thing I cannot live without are my sunglasses. Thanks!!
Oh thank you for the giveaway. I'm so glad Happy is better! The unusual in my purse is a small can of mace spray! And I can't live without my camera at all times!! Thanks, Dorothy
ReplyDeleteI meant to say I am glad Rosie is better! But I'm sure Happy is better now, also! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHmm, Polycell exterior pollyfilla and a sample tin of Farrow and Ball. Doesn't everyone? : )
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've just remembered there's a bag of pork scratchings in there! Not for long...
ReplyDeleteI love the bag, the pattern is so cute! The one thing in my bag that I cannot live without is my iPod. Seriously I can't leave home without it. I think its because I have such a short attention span!
ReplyDeletenail scissors. Not so crazy. Except that I've been looking for them for months and haven't cut my girlies' nails in all that time. They may have resorted to picking:( Cath Kidston is my favorite and my best!
ReplyDeleteI love everything Cath Kidston has done! The one thing I have to have in my purse is the list of books I want to buy in case I come upon a used bookstore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Love Cath Kidston and those other items above are to die for, love the cute owl!!
ReplyDeleteMy 'must have' item in my handbag would have to be either paw paw ointment.
hi, First and foremost, hope Rosie is feeling better :) Strangest thing in my handbag, tho not *that* strange, is a tin of kate aspen band-aids complete with lips printed on them.. for kisses better of course. Lovely CK things!!!
ReplyDeletecheers
Trish.
Would love to enter this, my mum loves CK and she would adore this, unusual things in my handbag, euros, left over from portugal, crochet hook and wool, well u just never know, but the funniest unusal thing is my son's goo toy, is disgusting, makes farting noises and has face eyes in it, but always makes him laugh
ReplyDeleteGlad that rosie is on the mend, finally

Love this bag and the polka dot plates. The items I always keep in my purse are my migraine tablets. I wouldn't want to be stranded in an airport without them..EVER. So glad your chicklet is better.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I am between bags at the moment as I no longer need my toddlers nappy changing bag and yet haven't started to use my own hnadbag again. The thing I always carry around with me though is my stick of lipbalm and a pen and notebook. I had a lovely owlie book but my daughter left it at Tescos! Grrr... xx
ReplyDeleteThe most unusual thing in my purse...wet ones...I wash my hands after being everywhere..and I've actually had other people ask if they could have one too! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Fab Wonderful Giveaway!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh - well my handbag is nothing short of a health hazard. However currently I suppose the most unusual thing I have in it is a snail - a bright pink, dead, snail. It is my daughter's dead pet, that she painted and we have to go everywhere with it. She also insists on putting a lettuce leaf in there occasionally - which is annoying - and rather smelly. I say this is the most unusual - but like you said - this is a family show. Please be assured the same fate would not be held for this CK bag xxxxx
What a fabulous giveaway, ive been eyeing up CK's new range. My handbag is usually full of crappy bits, along with the essentials. Currently the most unusual thing in there is a book on baby animals (my sons fave) which has to go everywhere at the mo. Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteFantastic giveaway, you are spoiling us!
ReplyDeleteHad a quick look in my handbag and probably the one item in there which I can't live without is a little mini game of Operation which keeps my son entertained for hours when we are out and about or waiting in the doctors surgery!
What a fabulous giveaway.....Just having a good rake around my handbag and found a power ranger and a Lego jack sparrow,just what I need in an emergency haha,both courtesy of my 5 yr old son
ReplyDeleteX Manda X
Just discovered your blog & Cath Kidston's site! I am in love!! Happy new follower of Happy Loves Rosie!
ReplyDeleteWell the most unusual thing in my beautiful handmade 'Happy Loves Rosie' bag is my midwife notes! I am due to give birth any day now (already overdue!!) and have to have them on me all the time. Bit different from the usual lipgloss etc! Makes it even more real every time I look in my handbag that I soon will have a new little addition. Winning would be great and mean I still get to sport my beloved flowers even if the bag is filled with nappies!!
ReplyDeleteLove Lucy xxxx
ooooh! these CK products are all fabulous!! that bag would make me so very happy! thanks for the chance!
ReplyDelete(happy to hear your daughter is ok!)

What a super giveaway! Most unusual item is a part for the filter of a fishtank. And my most useful is definitely my mascara - hate to be without it.
ReplyDeleteProbably the most unusual item is that I always have a crochet hook and some thread in my purse. Just in case, I am waiting somewhere and have a minute. The items are lovely,expecially the tote bag. Thanks for the chance to win. quiltexas@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh I love that CK bag - in fact, have been drooling over it this week!!
ReplyDeleteThe thing I can't live without in my handbag is my purse. Not because I like spending all the time, just I am a worrier, and always need it on me in case I get lost/stranded/in trouble...etc you know, likey scenarios but could happen!!
The most unusual thing in my bag at the moment is a needle and thread... can't even remember why they are in there now!

A fabulous competition, I have a Pip-studio bag and I have a view things i always have in my bag, towels and my Blackberry. And i always put my sunclasses in my bag, also.
ReplyDeletereplica watches
I love this competition and enjoy to take part :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing that used to be in my bag is a plastic ring with the union jack that a very nice lady gave to me as a present on a flea market. I haven´t got a perfect idea whtat to do with him and because of this it´s still in my bag since a lot of months.
Just one minute ago, as I told our younger daughter about your giveaway, she told me to use it as a keyring, and this is what I will do in a minute! So it will still be in my bag the next months!!!
lovely hugs

As you know when raising kids you end up with some pretty strange things in your bag. Half eaten fruit, the odd sock or two...
ReplyDeleteThe thing I can't live without in my purse would be my tiny apple-shaped zipper pouch that has my emergency dental floss, lotion, band-aides, and chap stick. It's super handy!
Great give away - please count me for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMost unusual thing in my handbag? Well, right now it is full of Conkers, Acorns and other 'special' Autumn things that the children have to collect on their way home from school - don't worry I do draw a line at snails!
Jumbleberries xx
The item in my handbag that I couldn't live without? Easy my little notepad and pencil. I like to carry a little jotter all the time just in case a 'brilliant' idea suddenly comes to me when I'm in the middle of the supermarket or somewhere :).
ReplyDeleteJumbleberries xx
Please don't say you can't send out of UK!! We unfortunate ones don't have CK in our country :( Items in my bag... so many of them... Also most of the time I need to carry items for my husband, I've been known to carry motorcyle parts! For myself, spare socks :) Ebru
ReplyDeleteMost unusual? a piece of upholstery fabric that I'm trying to find braid for - I finished the chair nearly 3 years ago but I'm still looking!!
ReplyDeleteI have to have my Burts Bees chapstick everywhere I go - especially one in my handbag!

I have just been catching up with all your posts and found your lovely giveaway. I just love these Cath Kidston bags and would be over the moon to win one ! My bag is full of rubbish including dog pooh bags, sweets, pens,phone, makeup,purse ,keys etc. However I nearly always carry a spare bag inside my bag. This is usually one of the Cath Kidston fabric book bags which are great to carry any shopping in that I pick up when I am out and about especially unexpected charity shop finds !
ReplyDeleteAnn x
Most unusual is probably cogs as my youngest boy is always collecting them, my item I always need is a pen (pref one with ink!!) as I forget everything and need to write it down when I'm out and about, I usually do this on reciepts though (I have loads of them in my bag too), great giveaway x
ReplyDeleteThe most unusual thing in my handbag is a bottle cap. Somehow it got in there over the summer and I love the way it sounds when it hits coins and other items. I can't live without my lip balm. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhauw how wonderful this giveaway is! I'm totaly in love with Cath Kidston. Last year my doughter and me visited London and I bougth a beautiful scarf..

ReplyDeletemost interesting thing in my bag......hmmmm......10 corners ripped off pizza boxes! (buy 10, get 1 free) :) In my defense, it took awhile to collect them. We Americans don't eat pizza every night;) I would LOVE a Cath bag big enough to hold pizza boxes AND my huge stash of coupons. Cuz a girl has got to save $ where she can to afford Cath:)
ReplyDeleteI apologize for the "indelicate" nature of my response. I went to the lab for blood tests the other day, and they gave me a routine "take home, poop smear, test kit" to mail in. Still in my purse, UNUSED of course. Sorry... I hope you weren't eating.
ReplyDeleteOooh I'd love to own that bag! Wait, I'll go and get my bag...I just found a rag rug circle that I made in a class a few weeks ago. I can't live without tissues, I always have them in my bag and if I don't have a bag with me, I have them in my pocket. I love your blog, I haven't been to visit for quite a while, but I'm so glad I came today!
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I carry in my handbag that I literally cant live without is my blue ashtma inhaler attached to my very chic handbag sized spacer.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all who enter, its a lovely giveaway<3 xxx
Can you tell I LOVE Cath Kidston and I want this bag SUPER bad?!?
ReplyDeleteI can't live without my Burts Bees chapstick! Not only do I have one in my handbag, but next to my bed, in my desk at work, in the bathroom ... Some may say I'm addicted :)
OK, seriously, I've loved CK forever but have never had the funds to splurge on a bag - I would *die*
ReplyDeleteI can't live without my Burts Bees chapstick! Not only do I have one in my handbag, but next to my bed, in my desk at work, in the bathroom ... Some may say I'm addicted :)

ReplyDeleteMy can't live without/unusual item in my handbag is my Lucky Ted, purchased in Blackpool when I was nine. He has lived in my holiday bag,school bag and then my college bag, progressed onto my Uni satchel and finally when I started work...my handbag. For a few years he even lived in the baby changing bag when I had my two children. He has seen me through every 'o' & 'A' level and Degree exam I have sat by wishing me luck quietly from my bag. He was in my hangbag when I passed my driving test, got married, honeymooned and admitted into hosiptal for happy times when I gave birth and sad times through a coma. Every new bag I get has to have a special Lucky Ted compartment for him to live.I would never be without him.x
ReplyDeleteI have just looked in my handbag and a few of the more unusual items that I have found are a cookbook, a cake of soap, a satchet of plant fertiliser and a stapler. It must be time for a clean-out!!! - or time to transfer the contents to this beautiful CK bag.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been over here for a while - and am mighty glad I got here in time to enter this splendid giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI can not leave the house without lip salve - and end up with at least three in every single bag and one in every pocket.

now, when I worked, when bored, we girls would have a random 'what's the most interesting/bizzare thing in your bag' day. I always won. I often had a spare pair of boys pants. Thankfully my boys are past that stage now - it'll be a spare pair for me before too long!!!
ReplyDeletefee x
The thing in my handbag that I MUST have with me and can't live without would be a tube of hand cream........the most unusual item would probably be an empty altoid tin, just in case I need a container for something. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the one item in your handbag, that you can't live without?
ReplyDeleteWell, it's hard to decide between my iphone - actually I not able to live without and my pencil to draw down what inspirates me!
<3
I have just looked in my handbag, I didn’t find really unusual things. Maybe the screwdriver supply, we never know….:)
ReplyDeleteThe thing I can't live without in my handbag is my wallet.
natasa- @ freemail . hu
Oh I just love love love your site and a competition with just hours to go....!!!! So exciting.
ReplyDeleteWell this is a little strange...BUT I have a little piece of old grotty fabric that was once my pillowcase as a child and became my 'snuggy blanket'.
I sucked my thumb until I was about 33 - so until very recently. Could not sleep without sucking my thumb and having my snuggy rested on my lip.
Ah after some healing therapy on a juicing retreat where I went on a 'Journey' to help with my depression - I was at once and somewhat unexpectedly cured of being a thumb sucker.
But still a few years on the snuggly cloth comes with me and helps me when I am sad or lonely, afraid. A little rub between thumb and finger brings me great comfort.
Much love form

I can't live without my Cherry Cola flavoured lipbalm in my handbag. It reminds me of winter and tastes delicious! Yum xxx
ReplyDeleteThe most unusual item I have in my handbag right now is a packet of cheese. I bought it reduced from Tescos for my lunch yesterday but then didnt get around to eating it! Uh ohhh xx
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I cant live without is a packet of polos in my bag. Not chewing gum though.. yuk! But polos.. mmm! xx
ReplyDeleteI can't leave home without a pen, tiny notebook and measuring tape...never know when I might find a wonderful junking treasure for our home!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the giveaway - love Cath and love your blog!!!!!
Also cant live without a compact mirror and hairbrush :) I've stolen my neices Minnie Mouse one ;) x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous giveaway! The most unusual item in my bag is a wrench and I have absolutely no idea why! Recently I left my bag in a charity shop changing room. As soon as I realised I quickly run back to the shop where a couple of sweet old dears where rummaging through it looking for an address for me. They both raised their eyebrows at me as they past me my bag.
ReplyDeleteI had all sorts in there a wrench, tape measure, stanley knife and a bunch of rocks from the beach. I can only imagine Hubby must have put them in my bag when we went to our sons to help him decorate. Very embarrassing!

Hello there...from France :))
ReplyDeleteI will take it as a lucky sign that I was just this morning surfing on the online CK shop and finding everything oh so tempting...
Anyway, I guess the most unusual item in my bag is...my swiss Knife! Every member of my family gets one on their 18th bday.
Mine has a screwdriver (wish it was sonic ;) ), a "tire bouchon" (those who like wine will know what it is :) ) and I love it!
Take care of you, of your little Rosie and hope to hear from you soon...

Love the bag and yes please enter me to win! The most unusual thing in my handbag is my manicure set. It is in a red velvet trifold and I carry it everywhere. It has nifty scissors, clippers, files, and a tiny screwdriver to help in case of emergency!
ReplyDeleteHmm.. I bet everyone says their phones - but I guess my blackberry is pretty essential.. and it looks pretty in its cath kidston case - which i'm sure would be even better if i were to win this bag to go with it ;) xxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI do love a bit of CK, not just her bags, patterns etc but her handcream too, if you haven't tried them - do so now! On holiday in Cornwall a few weeks ago, lucky enough to visit her store in St. Ives, bliss.
ReplyDeleteMy handbag - always a spare £1 coin, a tape measure (well clothes vary so much, no matter what the size says) an opaline crystal angel and a cross with the words of the poem "The Cross in my Pocket", this last item was in my late Mum's handbag, now it is in mine.

What a fabulous giveaway! I guess the most unusual item in my handbag is a small tape measure I bought years ago at JoAnn Fabrics. It's got sewing motifs all over it. And time and again that little tape measure has come in handy ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe strangest thing is my purse is probably a couple dozen bottlecaps! I collect them to make crafts, so whenever I'm out and someone removes one from a bottle, I snap it up!
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I can't live without in my purse is a pen! It is amazing how many times a day someone (including me!) needs one and the one hiding in my purse is the only one around! And I'm always afraid I'll need to leave a note in an emergency. :)
ReplyDeleteI was so sorry to hear what happened to Rosie. I hope she is doing better now and healing well. You are so thoughtful to host such a generous giveaway. One thing I cannot live without in my handbag is my little credit card case, for obvious reasons ;-)
ReplyDeletemy tape measure- a cute one of course :)

Most unusual thing is a dolls head - my daughter broke her barbie and I keep forgetting to take it out! Makes for an interesting conversation when someone needs my number and I'm hunting for my phone ;P
ReplyDeleteMuch like most women, I have a million and one things in my handbag (how do men cope without one?!).
ReplyDeleteI'd say the most unusual item is a mini sewing kit - some needles and a variety of threads, buttons, big nappy pins and smaller safety pins, some scissors and some paracetamol - which although nothing to do with sewing is a must!
You'd be amazed how much it actually gets used. And I always feel so good whipping it out whenever it's needed!
I can't go without a pretty hankie in my bag and the most unusual thing would have to be...dog treats for my sweet Rugby Girl.
ReplyDeleteOh lovely! Would love one of these!! Most unusual thing in my handbag at this moment....Dracula's teeth (belonging to my 7 year old!).
ReplyDeleteI couldn't live without....a pen and notebook /diary.

ReplyDeleteI have a lamp-torch keyring which is great for finding missing items or wanting to read when it's dark when travelling in the car! My keys are the most indispensible item as I'm literally doomed if I can't find them!

ReplyDeleteoh have just found a gnome wearing a pair of flippers in the bottom of my bag (must belong to my granddaughter! i hope?)or is it a santa?

I would really really love to win this bag!! It's so vintagey!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh you can't beat a bit of Cath Kidston, I love the cute bird cushion! The most unusual item(s) I have in my bag are what I can only describe as a 'nature collection'. During walks to and from school my three children are always picking up various small stones, twigs, acorns, leaves, flowers and give them to me as gifts. All are very gratefully received and I can only just about bear to throw them away when my bag gets a bit weighty at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteLovely bag, the most unusual item in my handbag is a genuine Swiss army penknife. I bought it back from Switzerland for my dad who so sadly passed away earlier this year. Firstly it reminds me of him,
ReplyDeletesecondly it has so many useful tools on it including a cork screw! xx
I have a positive pregnancy test in my handbag!!! I had it to show my mother, who I was meeting for coffee straight after doing test. I'd like to keep in baby book, though bit weird to be trapsing around with it... especially since baby due in ten weeks! Show's the state of my bag xx
ReplyDeleteThe most unusual items in my purse - a small tool kit of screw drivers with various attachments, measuring tape, my sudoku puzzle pencil with eraser, and combination lock. I have the usual things too - keys, cell, lipstick, billfold, etc. Please enter me into your giveaway too. Florida, USA
ReplyDeleteIm in two minds as to whether or not i should show my girlfriend this page! she'd love to see all the CK items but will probably kill me that i didnt come across it when the freebie was up for winning!replica watches uk
