big summertime giveaway

((remember: if you don't like EVERY vendor on facebook, you're not entered to win!))


summer in utah is a little bit crazy, not gonna lie. sometimes there's snow, recently there have been thunderstorms.. oh, and the occasional sunshine :) we love it, though! we're trying to cram in as much summer as we possibly can... swimming, popsicles, warm summer nights, picnics, watermelon. all that jazz!


this week we've gathered some local vendors in an attempt to pack in some more summer! here's what we have for you:

Wee Waldorf.. now called Star Haus

Wee Waldorf is naturally inspired by art, the outdoors and fairy tales. 

In a nutshell, I'm a homeschooling mom of 4 little girls. I stay busy with my little family by playing in nature, painting, creating, baking, making music and and trying new vegetarian recipes. All in all we are just a family living and loving life.

Wee Waldorf is giving away a Forest Friends Match It Game w/ Acorn Pouch. Go check out that and all her amazing creations at her etsy site and blog!

The Little Tiny

Hi! I'm Alison of The Little Tiny. I create patterns and kits for mobiles, plushies, pillows and more! I also create unique, hip leather mobiles and I have a few kids craft kits on their way! I've worked as a professional writer and designer, and I love writing and designing patterns so that everyone can get crafty! My patterns and kits are simple enough for beginners but have enough versatility to enchant the more advanced crafter! 

This is my newest plushie design that doubles as a pillow: The Black Tie Optional Penguin 

I will be giving away one completed penguin as well as a pattern for him to the winner! The pattern provides two patterns, one for a plushie size penguin one for a pillow size penguin. The winner can choose which colors they'd like their waddling friend to don!

I can ship anywhere in the US! xo

Far World

In 2007 I signed a contract with Shadow Mountain Publishing for the first in a five book YA fantasy series called Farworld. Although I have published several other books and taught many writing classes previously, this is my first YA book and my first fantasy series. I grew up in Northern California, and now I live in a windy little valley in the Rocky Mountains. I have a wonderful wife who has somehow stuck with me for over twenty years, four great children, a spastic border collie and a nice rotation of cannibalistic fish.


J. Scott Savage is giving away a signed copy of either Far World: Water Keep or Far World: Land Keep.. your choice!

Love Paper Stickers

My name is Heidi! I have scrapbooked and made cards for many years. I started Love Paper Stickers so that I could make some money from home doing something that I lovee to do. I make cards and invitations for any occasion or event... I've made cards for bridal showers, birthdays, the Stadium of Fire, and all sorts of fun things!


I am giving away a handmade card. You can choose one from the photos or I can make any card to your specifications. I am willing to pay shipping, or deliver to your home or business, depending on location.

Secret Sisters

Ida Mae Babbitt didn't mean to become a spy. But when visiting teaching stats are low and a family in her care needs help, well, she only does what she must. Join Ida Mae and her friends on a fun-filled romp in this LDS cozy mystery novel.


Author Tristi Pinkston is giving away a copy of Secret Sisters, volume one of The Secret Sisters Mysteries.

BabybVintage

Tifny at BabybVintage makes the cutest baby and children's hats in the world! She is giving away one free hat with free shipping anywhere in the US. 

Painted Dresser

I am a stay at home mommy of three kids. Two girls and one boy. We all love headbands. Yes, even the boy (he's three, so I'm sure that will change). I especially love making them which is why my husband suggested I sell them instead of using all of our extra cash to make 1 million headbands. 


I am giving away one headband from my etsy shop. You can choose the one you like and it will be available for local pick up. Anywhere else is $3 shipping. Also, you should follow my much neglected blog. There will be some upcoming wonderfulness filtering through there. http://painteddresser.blogspot.com/

Scholz Souls

Scholz Souls is a family blog run by Keira Scholz.  She chronicals the lessons of motherhood, laughter, and life, as she is currently a stay-at-home-mother of her son, Lucas, and loves every minute.  In her spare time, she blogs about interior design adventures, crafting feats, and her delicious confections.

Here are some lovely hand-made boutique earrings for one lovely (and lucky) lady as our giveaway! (The statuette, pearls and other necklaces are not included :)

Pretty Visage by Brittany Barnes

Because all Pretty Blossoms are handmade, they are made perfectly imperfect. They are the ideal accessory, with the potential to make any outfit go from blah to beautiful. These magnets are super strong and can go through anything, even a thick overcoat. Since they are magnets instead of pins, they keep all your favorite pieces from accumulating little holes. Place them on a blouse or sweater, a coat or even your favorite curtains.

Brittany is giving away the Orange Brooch Trio. This sweet thing is perfect all year. Great in the spring, summer and fall. Shipping is $3. Check out it and more at her etsy shop!
