I Have a Shop and a Giveaway!!!

I did it! I have finally opened my Etsy shop! Yes, it is 9 days before Christmas, but it just finally came together. My new camera allowed for detailed close-ups, Ken helped my finally figure out how to make my banner, I used one of the daycare kids as a hair model, I snapped photos during nap time and I spent hours and hours figuring out how to resize and upload my photos . . . it has been a lot of work, but I am so excited to finally have it ready! I have a lot of other items to load, but it is open and I can now add items whenever I have a spare minute.

So, to celebrate the opening of my new shop, I am giving away one of my posy pins. These are hand cut and hand stitched from re-purposed fabrics - mostly wool and upholstery blends. They look great on hats, purses, coats and jackets. The edges are left unfinished to allow for natural fraying. It is a $10.00 value.

To be entered to win, just visit my little shop and let me know which item makes you happy. For an extra chance to win, become a follower on my blog and leave a second comment stating that you are a follower. Please make sure you leave your name in your comment. I will choose a random winner at 5pm on Friday and mail the posy priority mail on Saturday morning so you should have it in time for Christmas! Good luck and check back on Friday for the winner!



Here is a reminder of what the pins look like on a hat. The pin on the hat is not for sale because Sophie would be mad at me.

  3. Yay! I'm so excited to finally be able to buy your stuff!! Keep adding items please! I really love all the items, but I think that hairband with the 2 red flowers makes me happy right now. I just ordered 2 pins so hopefully they will make it here by Christmas?!?! Oh I am a follower of the blog now too (my first 'following'. I don't go around 'following just anyone, you know!) ;) So please enter me in your drawing!
