Super Cute Kitschy Notecards Giveaway!

It's a giveaway! Why? Just 'cause. Last week's AbbaDabba Bags giveaway reminded me that I haven't done one of my own in a loooooooong time. And so, because I like you and I'm grateful to you for reading my silliness and supporting my fellow artisans, I'm giving away a set of Kitschy Kitschy Coo blank notes from my Retrocrafted Paper Goods collection. These notecards feature super cute restored vintage artwork printed on 100% post-consumer recycled cardstock, and are accompanied by invitation-weight recycled bright white envelopes.

Leave a comment here to enter! I'll announce the winner on Tuesday, June 16th. Good luck!

Sweet Giveaway from FringeLore

Honestly, I hate to spread the word on this one, as I'm pretty determined to win it myself, but I recently stumbled on a super sweet giveaway from indie jewelry artisan and fellow Etsy seller, FringeLore.


Leave a comment on the giveaway post and be entered to win a membership in a 6-month Earring of the Month Club worth over $200! From the artisan's profile:

For as long as I can recall, I've had a fascination with old things. They seem to embody tales and stories of previous lives, of people since past and because of this provide a sense of connectedness with generations past. I like to think of the tales and lore carried in these items as being on the fringe; the fringe of memory, the fringe of society, the consciousness...about to blow off in the wind and be lost forever. With all the various items I've collected over the years, I try to assemble or reassemble them in an intriguing way so that perhaps once again, they can tell their stories and share their lore.

I work with all sorts of found objects, deconstructed mechanics and some ordinary objects that I hope to help people see in a new light.

You have until February 28th to enter. Good (but not too good) luck!
