happy etsy-versary to me! to me! but YOU are the one getting a present!

March23

*Thank you to everyone who participated! This contest is now closed and the winners have been announced. Stay tuned for more giveaways in the future!*

I started my Etsy shop THREE whole years ago! I can’t believe it’s already been that long… I was in Taiwan at the time signed to a Music label as a recording artist and was the lead singer in a band, but the band unceremoniously split up while in Taiwan. Le sigh. That left me with a lot of time on my hands as the company tried to figure out what to do with me since I decided to stay with them in the hopes that we could find a new band or they could release me as a solo artist.

Well, neither of those things ever happened, but I did get a lot of other great experiences out of living overseas! One of those things was starting my Etsy shop. My boyfriend was really into ninjas at the time and he asked me to make him a plush and he said, “sell these!”. Then, my sister heard about this crafting site called “Etsy” and told me to check it out. I did, and the rest is history!

SO, enough of that, I know what you guys are *really* waiting for!

To celebrate I’ll be giving away THREE prizes from my Etsy shop:

Two prizes of a choice of two items from all my brooches, zipper pouches, and earrings (limit of 1 pouch per winner) – up to $30 value.

One prize of Bubs the Bear – $32 value

*I will draw 3 names- The first name to get chosen will get their choice of prize and then the 2nd, then the 3rd.*

I think your items are adorable. :D Actually I can’t decide between 2 items, Petit Hibou and Bubs the Bear. Petit Hibou because I’m having an owl obsession and I adore anything owl-related. Plus, your petit hibou can travel with you everywhere.. haha. Bubs on the other hand, is lalala, makes me happy, my sleeeeping companion. and instead of hiding things under my pillow, I could just put in it the pouch.

haha, i’m writing a lot. well, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, and wish you all the best. :D

Happy Etsyversary!

I just popped by your shop and purchased three brooches. Baby Bleta, Sybil and button mushroom, I think they’ll be great Easter gifts for friends and myself:) Just realized I forgot to tell you what colour of button I want, white that should have been…

So apart from these three bought cuties I have two favourites in your Etsy shop, that’s Hibou and the little hedgehog brooch, just can’t say which one I like best.

Yes, please, I’d like to join your mailing list too.

Gosh, how many entries was that?! :)

You make so many lovely things and incredible characters!

In your etsy store I think my favorite items were anything with owls on them. But I am also incredibly fond of Meepy the sheep. I may put a picture of her on my computer so I can count her whenever I am in need of a nap.

As for your artfire store, I absolutely love the printed quilters cotton. What fun to quilt with a fabric advertising quilting!
