Holiday giveaway: meet the shops part 5

admin — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 00:38:54 +0000

Product Superior is definitely that! They donated a bunch of amazing paper goods for this giveaway. There are cards for every occasion! It’s all their own custom artwork and messages plus they’re made from earth friendly materials. Can’t beat that!

Melanie of Whimsical Creations makes ornaments, magnets and beads from polymer clay. She donated an adorable cupcake ornament and a snowflake one too!

I love CaitiJo’s shop and wish I was as talented as she is at 19. She makes gorgeous crocheted items. I cannot wait to get my hands on a pair of her slippers and gloves!

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

Holiday giveaway: meet the shops part 4

Part 4 of meeting all the shops who donated to the Holiday Giveaway. Have you entered yet? You should! You don’t have much time left!

Maggie was one of the first people to sign on for this giveaway! There is a great variety of items in her shop but she donated 4 sets of Czech glass ornament hooks. These things are beautiful in person! Whoever wins will be so lucky to have these.

Hilary Caroline makes beautiful jewelry. Hilary always knows how to make the perfect pieces whether is in the colors or beads placement or her charms. She has a shop full of great items! My favorite would have to be the Angel Wings Lariat necklace. It’s stunning!

LMNOProducts is actually run by another blog friend, Lauren. She makes jewelry and magnets but my favorite are definitely the ceramic coasters. No, maybe one of these cool crates. Lauren has a lot of great stuff so definitely check her shop out!

Holiday giveaway: meet the shops part 3

Time for part three of meeting all the shops who donated to the Holiday Giveaway. Have you entered yet? You should! You don’t have much time left!

Olive & Ollie has some of the cutest baby and children’s items around! From bibs and burb clothes to onesies and tees. Olive & Olive has stylish and best of all practical handmade goods. We were lucky enough to get a burp cloth and bib set for this giveaway. It’s adorable if I do say so myself!

Brookhouse Pottery has gorgeous, one of a kind pottery peices. Personally, I know many people who would love anyone of these in their kitchen. My grandma would love the casserole dish but I think this pair of bowls are something I’d like to have in a kitchen of my own!

What I love most about Thinking Mama’s shop is that it is enviromentally friendly. All of her items are made from recycled wool sweaters! Thinking Mama donated one of her great coffee sweaters for this giveaway.

Second Party was the first Etsy Adore feature ever – way before this blog even came to be and I still was doing them on my personal blog. I own quite a few things from Second Party myself, including the Ranson Note Birthday Calendar and some pretty postcards so this shop definitely get the stamp of approval from Oh How Lovely!

In a Frenzy is closed right now because they are focusing on their other shop, Ozetta, for the Holidays but not before they donated a pair of these adorable bobbs in Santa red. Want to learn how to make the bobbs yourself? Pick up their tutorial!

Ashleybug caters to all your Holiday needs right now. She has tons of greeting cards and gift tags in stock for the Holidays. She even sells gift wrap in another of her etsy stores! Ashley donated one of these fab lace cards for our lucky winner!

Holiday giveaway: meet the shops

I figured it was time to meet the shops who have donated such lovely items to make the big Holiday Giveaway happen.

I’ve “known” Ashley of Joyful Star for awhile now. She has a great blog and has just started selling on Etsy. I have my eye on one of her boxy zip pouches but for this giveaway, she donated a set of note cards and a pouch!

Next up is the always adorable Kyla Bea Crafty. Kyla is another blog friend and probably one of the craftiest people I know! Her shop is sold out right now (I told you she was good!) but she will be back in no time with her gorgeous cowls, scarves and some paper goods.

Branch Handmade offers screen printed clothing, pillow cases, candles, essential oils and more. There is a great variety in this shop but personally, I’m kind of digging the bike tee. Branch Handmade donated one of their yummy candles and an aromatic essential oil spray!

We actually had Red Leaf not too long ago as one of our Etsy Adore features. I really don’t think I can get enough of this shop. Hopefully after the holidays I’ll be placing an order of my own for a shave cube and some beeswax lotion. For now, Red Leaf has donated some Bubble Bath Dough!

Stay tuned for more of the shops!
