Welcome to my Pleated Poppy review on a

zippered pouch!

 

If you've been hanging around blogland for awhile, you now know a Pleated Poppy creation when you see it. They are all colourful, fun, useful AND of very high quality.

I was curious about the adorable zippered pouches in particular that Lindsey makes. I've featured them many times before, however have never held one in my own hands. Lindsey sent one right over so I could try it out myself.



I chose this particular one because of the bold colour splashes. How cute! I loved the colourful polka dot ruffle against the black and white flourishes. Funky. :)

However what stood out moreso than the colours was the quality of the product. The fabric is lined so I was pleasantly surprised how heavyweight it felt. And the bottom is squared off so it can actually sit upright if desired, which allows the pouch to hold more too.



The tiniest details enhance the product. The zipper has a little fabric tab so it's super easy to grasp.

As for functionality, the sky's the limit! I've tried it all. It proved to be a perfect stomping ground for my FJI cards.

Do you have any idea how many times I dump my purse having these crazy plastic cards sprawling every which way? Well, they didn't run away on me when they were neatly zipped away in the pouch! This thing holds ALOT.

Even some cold hard change got a ride in a pretty new environment.

Other uses I can come up with: crayons for road trips, kiddie snacks, a small puzzle, makeup...

If you're looking for a sturdy yet pretty hard working little place to store all sorts of things, I can vouch that a zippered pouch can indeed do the job along with looking mighty pretty.

The Pleated Poppy offers alot more than just zippered pouches though... click HERE to see the 'all' page.

How much can you put into a Bloom Bag?

What's a Bloom Bag you ask?

A Bloom Bag is a beautiful Pleated Poppy creation. Bursting with huge posies and pretty ruffles, loaded with tons of summer colour punch, this is one pretty cool creation indeed.

Lindsey just did a post over at her place that tells you all about what she puts into her own Bloom Bag.

Oh cool. She dumped it out! I've always wanted to know what others stuff into their bags and purses.

Looks like her Bloom Bag holds other bags too. Such as these cute zippered pouches.  

Ahhh... good idea. Kidlet entertainment when on the road no doubt! I can relate to that.

Yeah. And then there IS that real life less fun in the sun stuff we must deal with. But what a neat idea to have a little pouch exclusively for receipts! That's smart thinking.

Sheesh. Even her covered checkbook is adorable. I wanna be a Pleated Poppy when I grow up.

A Pleated Poppy winner!

Someone got really lucky today.

Hmmm... how about a little hint?

The winner claims to like the 'aprons.'

I wonder which one was her fav?

 Was it 'Apples and Raspberries?'

I'd bet it was 'the Green Apple.'

 Well, it could have been the "Sour Apple..."

Nahhh. Who could resist an apron called 'Chocolate and Pink Marshmallow?'

All only $38.

Are you as hungry as I am?!?

Gorgeous aprons Lindsey!

Well, one lucky gal gets to go shopping with a red hot $30 credit in her hand.

Well Jasey, it looks as if one of those three shots brought you to a win! Congrats!!

And thanks for following both of us!

Lindsey, thanks for your generosity with the giveaway. I'm so glad we were able to do something special for these wonderful gals!

Hey, did you know Lindsey hosts a What I Wore Wednesday link party on her blog?

How fun is this?!? Isn't she cute?!? Go on and check out the party! It's still on.

I can't IMAGINE why I didn't get a special invite. *sniff*
