And What Do We Have Here?

Well I do believe I see 100 Followers. I do, I do.

Photobucket

Do you know what that mean? Yep it's time to kick off this mega giveaway.

Real quick, let me say, I adore my followers. I appreciate each and every one of you. So this is my way of saying Thanks!

Now for the rules...
I would love nothing more than for Etsy.com to replace eHell, FeeBay, um eBay. In recent years, eBay has been making money hand over fist, while small sellers get screwed. Etsy sets out to change that.

Etsy sellers offer 3 things: Handmade items. Supplies. And vintage items. No mass market, bought it from China, crap!

Enter the giveaway:
1. Go to Etsy.com
2. Find a shop that you like
3. Come back here and paste the URL to that shop in the comments to this post.
4. Tell us all why we should go check out that shop.

Pretty simple huh? It would be really nice of you to "follow" me (if you don't already) or any of the other contributors with blogs. But you don't have to. Because it's more important, to me, that I get the word out about Etsy.

For my part, I picked a handful of new Etsy Shopkeepers to showcase on my blog. Each has been kind enough to donate an item to the giveaway. Clicking on each photo will take you to their shop. If you can, Please support them. Remember the Holidays are coming.

So here we go...

  2. This is a wonderful blog give away you're hosting. :]
    Also, here's a link to an etsy shop that I find interesting: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27616215

    It's my dear husband's shop. He loves taking photos. These are just a few of his items. He has more on his flickr account {www.flickr.com/photos/adidaswithyou.
    He has such an eye, and often comes across the most interesting subjects that I myself would probably have just ignored. He's also taught me a few things, what TTV is and Cross Process...he even built me a light box to use for my photos. On his blog, he has a tutorial that shows others the same method.

  10. Congratulations on 100 Followers!!!
    How is it even possible to pick a favorite? Right this moment I would have to say it would be Ling Glass. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=3085
    She makes gorgeous pendants and jewelry from glass. They are so well made and I have now purchased several for myself and as gifts. Beautiful craftsmanship.
    It's so fun to see all of your favorites everyone. I found some new shops to add to my favorites list.
    Biddy- Love those bags
    Thanks for letting me know about your give-a-way!!

  15. This is fun to just be a part of! Here is one of my favorite Etsy artists. She happens to live in my own town but I believe I would have found her work anyway.

    She uses old metal knitting needles to make gorgeous jewelry. I have one of the bracelets and it is my favorite. Loooooove it!

  19. Yes...Etsy is the place!

    Here's one that is brand new and her jewelry is so unique. I've got my eye on the purple passion bracelet.

  20. I love to look around on Etsy but I have never actually bought anything. That all may change now that I found this green felted purse.

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31774202

    It would go great with my winter coat!

    What a fun contest! Thanks for hosting!

    PS I have a little giveaway going on at my blog too right now. Not as big as yours but it is something handmade.

  21. HI! I love your site by the way, and would love to win your goodies :) well... not YOUR goodies but the prizes LOL! I love this etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5837528
    The bat key necklace ROCKS and I love the use of watches that show all the gears when they're put into necklaces or rings. This site has a super vintage almost one of a kind feel, and I think you could find some unique finds here :)

Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment here. I feel loved and adored. Sorry about the extra security, but I'm tired of getting emails from Anonymous users posting junk in my comments.
