The day is finally here and I imagine many of us will be parked in front of our computers for a good part of it checking out all of the amazing things to be had. Welcome to all of you who are visiting for the first time, feel free to poke around a bit; you'll find lots of stuff about sewing, knitting, crafting, thrifting, free schooling, raising kids, and living simply in the city. Every Giveaway Day I find some amazing new blogs and rediscover some old favorites.
My very favorite part of Giveaway Day? Giving stuff away!
This year I didn't have much time beforehand to get things ready so I decided to do something a bit more personalized for the winner herself (or himself, you never know ;) The randomly chosen winner will receive a set of 6 monogram notecards and envelopes (100% post consumer recycled paper and vintage fabric letters) in a monogrammed fabric writing folio (still working on the name for these...) as well as a 6" monogram hoop. Since this will be a custom job I am happy to work with the winner to come up with the perfect colors, fabrics and fonts, too. How can you go wrong? ;)
Last Giveaway Day I was really feeling the supply giveaways so I decided to add that on to mine this time around. I've put together a little package of fabrics and notions (both old and new) for the lucky winner and will surely throw in a few things more.
And, to really turn this mutha out, I've decided to share a half yard cut of one of the widely coveted Flea Market Fancy prints. I found some during the shop hop I attended this past week and bought the rest of the bolt so I still have some for myself (and perhaps some to sell? Not sure about that yet...).
Okay, so if you'd like a chance simply leave a comment on this blog post. I'm happy to ship world wide so everyone is welcome to join in. If you'd like to throw your name into the hat twice you can leave a second comment telling me that you've become a follower of my blog, but that's certainly not mandatory. Comments will be closed and a winner chosen at random at the end of the day on Thursday, May 20 (EST).
I love Giveaway Day so much that I've also decided to hold a sale in my shop as well. From now through Thursday take 10% off your entire order in my shop; all of the details can be found once you're there.
Cheers, and Good luck!!
**Comments are now closed and a winner will be announced first thing in the morning. Thanks to everyone for joining in!

Hello, newish to the blogging world but definitly not new to crafting and painting and thrifting, as well as food, home design and raising my family. I spent last year soul searching and this year I began my new journey of simplifing my life. Closed my 2 business' in January and have not looked back. I am raising my family in all ways clever and lovely.
ReplyDeleteHave a spectacular day
