My First Blog Give Away!!!

Yup...it's about time. Time to be as generous to you as you all have been to me! I'm doing my first ever blog give away! The prize is a surprise, but it will be one of my adorable Valentine's Day spun cotton figures. Just leave a comment on THIS post and on Monday (Feb. 9th) I will randomly choose a winning comment. I think I'm going to do this by telling Ben to choose a number from 1 to how ever many comments there are (I won't tell him why...he's used to my asking him random questions anyway...lol). The comment that corresponds with the number he chooses will be the winner!! Good luck!! :)

So this morning I quickly snapped some group photos of my sugary sweet Valentine's Day pieces. Some of them have already found new homes (I'll have to say goodbye to them tomorrow when I package them up) and some are for sale now on Etsy. And one of them is the surprise prize for the give away!

The rest will be accompany me to Boston Handmade's Valentine's Day Show in SOWA tomorrow evening! I've added the details for this fantastic show below.

These two little gals (above and below) are my favorite creations this time around. Ms. Crimson Red has found a new home with a darling gal, but Ms. Pink Princess is going to be living with me a little while longer. I almost never keep my own work, but sometimes I can't help but keeping a certain character around for just little while longer. This little gal has such a pretty face and I used some of my favorite old millinery flowers (same with Ms. Crimson...she holds a rare - at least to me - red flower that I only have a few of).


Here's the whole gang (or some of the whole gang), all perched on this pretty cake pedestal that was a gift from my mom.

So...don't forget to leave a comment on this post to be entered in the giveaway. And please leave your email address or some way that I can get into contact with you. If I am unable to get into contact with the winner, I will have Ben choose another number and another winner. And the prize will be one of my spun cotton figures...perhaps a curious kitty? Or a juggling bear? Maybe a sweet shy girl? I will reveal the prize to everyone once I've found a winner! :)

And here are the details for the show tomorrow (Friday):
