Confessions of a Serial Etsy Shopper

Congrats to the lovely Nora! who will be receiving a beautiful pair of Talula's earrings! Sorry I am late with this weeks post, I have been working feverishly in the studio this morning. Inspiration for the Happiknits Spring line is kicking into overdrive, despite being surrounded with white! Up this week is a lovely girl from someplace way warmer than here! Sunny Florida! Tracybdesigns her shop is super pretty! Very bright, and spring~ish! We are ready for spring here!! I found Tracy's shop awhile back. I loved her flower pins. She has some that say, "Ask me about my Etsy shop" I wear it on my lab coat at work all the time!

So this week I am giving away two things from Tracy's shop to one lucky winner. A beautiful flower brooch, and a pretty tissue holder. These little tissue holders are truly for those of us who are girly girls! Why carry those tissues in a wad or an ugly package when you can be pretty!!! Also Tracy's shop is totally eco-friendly, using scraps to create new pieces of fun! Also her lovlies make wonderful hostess gifts~ I hate to show up at someone's house empty handed!

Dear friends, it's that time of year again! Every Friday during lent, I will be "confessing" about shops I frequent on Etsy. This year I have decided to do a giveaway from the shops that are featured. Ok! First up.... Talula

I fell in love with her shop long ago. Her cuffs! Stunning! I asked Mr. Happiknits to buy one of her beautiful necklaces for me for Christmas (in August!!!). I needed that necklace something fierce! And I wear it ALL the time(I am wearing it in my "I Love Purple" photo on the side bar). So, first the lovely item that I will be giving away, a beautiful pair of earrings from Talula. These have vintage Amber stones in them. Sparkly! Unique! What girl doesn't love a bit of sparkle at her ears! This is what I love about Talula, she uses vintage/found pieces and turns them into OOAK pieces of wearable art. Lovely!

So, here are the "rules" for entry,

1) leave me a comment (please be sure to leave an email if you do not have a blogger account so I can let you know if you won)

For additional entries, leave seperate comments that you:

2)followed my blog (or are a current follower)

I Love Fall Giveaway

One of the best things about living in the North East US is the change of seasons. I am a huge fan of fall. I love waking up to the crisp snap in the air, the leaves changing, the beauty of the earth taking that stretch before the sleepy winter. I've decided to give away one of my newest cowl designs. To enter the contest, 1) Leave me a comment with an email(so I can get in touch with you if you win) and 2) Give me a follow on this blog (so I can let you know the next time I have a giveaway)

This lovely cowl is a one size fits all, measures 8 inches in height, is made with a super soft acrylic mix yarn and some gorgeous hand-spun art yarn from KittyGrrlz . The cowl has no seam so you can wear it in many different ways~the art yarn changes the look from front to back. I love the color combo here.

Winner will be chosen Tuesday September 1, 2009 by random selection. Good luck!

We Have a Winner!

Yeah! I picked a cowl winner today using a random number generator. Each comment was assigned a number and the number drawn was 35, Congrats to Cecile! Tune in soon for my next giveaway and thanks for visiting my newly madeover blog!

A Big Thank You and Giveaway

A great big thank you to Darcy from Graphically designing for giving my blog a much needed Makeover! In celebration of the new blog I have decided to give away one of my handmade cowls. Just simply leave me a comment and I will randomly draw a name on March 7th. (be sure to leave me an email if you are unregistered). Up for grabs is this lovely pink cowl. Perfect for brighting up the dreariest of days. Handknit with a super soft acrylic mix yarn, this gorgeous cowl just slips right over your head. A great alternative to a scarf. Knit in a rasberry color, I added a little super soft white fake "fur" yarn along the bottom of the cowl. Also included is this removable flower brooch. Hand sewn and attatched to a bar pin it adds a little sparkle~~Every girl needs sparkle! (If you are allergic to wool I can substitute a wool free cowl!). Also if you're in the market for a blog makeover, check out darcy's website, just click on the pretty butterfly!
