500 Facebook Fans!

Wow!
All of the sudden, we have over 500 "fans" or "likers" on our facebook page! I know this is in large measure due to some of my new friends who have generously introduced friends, family, and even customers to my page and I really appreciate it! This is such a huge number . . . . I wanted to show my appreciation with something special, so I asked if my new friends would prefer a giveaway or a sale. It looks like a tie! So lets do both!

Sale: $5.00 off your purchase of $18.00 or more - enter 500 FANS in the message to seller.

Giveaway: Comment below with your name and favorite crochet item. Three winners will choose their prize - a pair of flower hair elastics or a pair of baby booties in acrylic and colors of their choice. If you are not commenting using your google or twitter account, please include a way to contact you in your comment! :) Want an extra entry? Tell your friends about the sale and giveaway on twitter, facebook, or whatever method you like and comment here letting me know that you did so.

The sale lasts until 7pm Monday, July 12, 2010 MST. All giveaway comments must be recieved by this time as well. Thanks again for telling your friends!

Chewlry - Weekend Wonder

For this week's weekend wonder, I was tweeting away with chewlry about life, Etsy, and Craftgawker when I clicked on her newest listing. Not only is her candy-colored jewelry good enough to eat, she's local! She lives just 20 minutes from me! So, here's where to go to find her shop: http://chewlry.etsy.com

First favorite - this pretty necklace called High Tide . . . . reminds me of growing up by the beach in Washington state!

Next up - earrings! I don't have pierced ears for allergy reasons, so sometimes I miss out on all the pretty options. Here's my favorite pair from Chewlry - Athena.

This is my favorite thing in her whole shop - the disarm necklace! I don't know exactly what specifically makes me love it, but I love it!

So go check out her shop! Its the last day of her Sprink Break sale, coincidentally, so if you're in love, click quick!

SO MUCH CLEARANCE!

When I started using Etsy, I wasn't in the know about ANYTHING, really, so I would list a bunch of hats all at once. I've learned that listing one a day is better for getting traffic to the site, but for now, this means when I have an item nearing the expire date, I have a lot of them expiring the same day! In theory, I can just relist these, but man, I can't ever do it. I usually want to take better pictures and re-write descriptions and more . . . so if anyone has had their eye on these items, you can get them for 25% off the original price and save me the re-writing! ;)
I made this pair of hats when I was just starting to use Etsy. The dark blue one is sized for daddy and the light blue one for his favorite little buddy.

This camo hat is a men's size. My hubby still has one I made for him a few years ago. He loves it. My brother still wears his I made for him like, 5 years ago! I should really make him a new one.

And I did this long spiral hairtie from some extra adorable yarn I had just a bit of. Your little girl could wear this with just about everything!

Like I said, a ton of clearance!
