The Everyday Botanical Tote Giveaway
There’s something comforting about the things we carry with us every day.
The tote tossed over the passenger seat. The bag hanging by the door waiting for the next grocery run, bookstore visit, sketchbook outing, or slow Saturday morning at the farmers market. The pieces that become part of our routines without asking for attention.
That’s what inspired this month’s giveaway.
For May, I’m giving away a botanical tote bag featuring one of my hand-drawn repeating patterns. The design pulls from simple folk-inspired shapes, tiny scattered florals, and the quiet rhythm found in traditional block prints and nature studies. Soft blue tones and an intentionally minimal layout give it a calm, lived-in feel that works just as easily for everyday errands as it does for carrying notebooks, art supplies, or market finds.
I like pieces that quietly fit into daily life instead of demanding to be the center of attention. The repeating botanical pattern has a slightly folk-art feel while still staying modern and minimal. It reminds me a little of old textiles, hand-stamped fabrics, and the kinds of patterns that feel timeless because they aren’t trying too hard to chase trends.
Each month, I’ll choose one product featuring my designs and send it to one winner from the community. Sometimes it’ll be something for the kitchen, sometimes something creative, seasonal, or practical, but always connected to the same idea: art that lives alongside everyday life.
Last month’s giveaway centered around a farmhouse-inspired rooster kitchen towel. This month shifts into something softer and more versatile, a tote designed for wandering through bookstores, carrying fresh vegetables home, collecting ideas in notebooks, or stuffing it with too many things during a day out because apparently tote bags operate under the same laws as kitchen junk drawers.
No judgment here.

The giveaway runs throughout May, and the winner will be announced in my Sunday newsletter on May 31st.
If this tote feels like something you’d carry, I’d love for you to enter.
And if not, there will be something new next month.
