CLOSED: Fab Friday Giveaway: Homegoods for the Holidays!


This week I am so excited to announce that THREE wonderful Etsy women are participating in our Fab Friday Giveaway. That means that one lucky winner will win THREE Etsy prizes! Yay!

The prizes will be coming from:

H & J Star Creations



Let me introduce you to these generous ladies and then we'll move on to their awesome giveaways!

First up is Judy from H & J Star Creations. Judy is a mom to two teenagers and one golden retriever. In all her "spare time" between being a Work-at-home-mom, Judy works part time at a social service non-profit.

She started Etsy as a way to use my fabric stash, but then discovered how much she like fabric, and just couldn't stop buying or making! (I definitely know how addictive that can be which is why I don't shop :) But, thankfully, Judy didn't stop because now we can all buy her fabulous creations on her Etsy store H & J Star Creations.

Everything she sells is incredibly beautiful AND affordable, especially considering how much time and effort each piece takes. Check out a few of my favorite items in H & J Star Creations

This Messenger Bag rocks! It is only $28 and spacious enough to carry all your daily needs
These Pretty-in-Pink keyfobs are only $6 each and 15% of that goes toward Breast Cancer Research!

and i LOVE this cosmetic bag that can also double as a wallet or handy holder for miscellaneous goodies in your purse. For $7.50 that is a STEAL!

⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟

Up next is Custom Designs by Nancy. Nancy started her Etsy store much like many other people--by making her items for friends and family. She was, unfortunately, laid off from her job in January 2009 but her cousin-in-law had the perfect suggestion--that she start selling her wares on etsy. Custom Designs by Nancy has 8 sales so far but with over 30 items for sale she is sure to quickly boost that number!

You can also find Nancy on her blog, My Heart and Mind.

Nancy likes to be creative and let the fabric speak to her about what it wants to be - a tablecloth, an apron, a comfroter, a pillow, etc.--the options are endless!

The following are Nancy's current top sellers!

Aprons (only $10!): well made and sooo afordable! Perfect gifts!

catnip pillows ($.025 or 5/$1!): awesome for the cat lover in your life--and you can't beat her incredibly low price!

and lavendar sachets ($2.50): perfect for stocking stuffers or just buying for yourself to keep your drawers smelling divine!

⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟
Finally, we have Heather from the TableScapes Company. Heather is another Work-at-home-Mommy to a a young toddler that keeps her very busy when she is not making napkins. In fact, she had hoped to start making tablecloths and table runners by now, but knows she'll get there one day!

Heather first heard about Etsy after reading about it in a magazine--she was completely impressed with the idea of a site that only sold handmade items. Heather had already been making napkins for a year when she decided to join Etsy. She loves creating napkins; her favorite ones that she has made are the horses pattern napkin because of the colors and the contrasting sides.

Here are some of my favorites:

Gorgeous light blue + brown formal dinner napkins (large enough for making into cool napkin designs)

The most adorable camping napkins designed to fit in your child's lunchbox ($10 for 10)!

Reindeer Napkins--perfect for entertaining this winter!

⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟

Phew! Did you get through all of that? Good! Because here comes the giveaway!
One lucky winner* will win:


YAY!

*the winner must have a USA or Canadian mailing address as we cannot ship internationally. Sorry!


WINNER:
