February Giveaway



This month I'm giving away a new leather wrist cuff from my Etsy shop. I will be adding it to my store this week. As a sneek peek, I'm giving it away in a contest this month. All you have to do is answer the following question below. I will pick the best answer from all applicants and will notify/post the winner within 24 hours of the contest ending. This leather cuff is part of my new Spring leather collection and is not sized at this time. It will fit at least a wrist size of 7.5inches.

The contest starts Sunday January 31st 8:00pm EST and ends Wednesday February 10th 8:00pm EST. Please make sure when you answer the questions to include your email so I can contact you. Happy answering!

In relation to world events that have taken place, people all over have amassed to donate to Haiti's relief- especially on Etsy. :) I want to know:

Haiti Relief

Listening to "Cosmic Love" by Florence + the Machines.

It has been an eventful week these last few days. I have unintentionally zoned out of my Etsy store to continue my wedding planning and crafting. Due to this I feel that my Etsy garden has wilted since last month and I've missed opportunities to help out. No worries.

I jumped on top of my shop on Monday and started a short but sweet relief sale. I'm donating 50% of all proceeds to the American Red Cross for Haiti Relief on all items purchased before February. So far it's been a huge success. Lots of Etsians have stepped up to shop and help. There have been alot of nice stories emailed and passed along to me from Etsians who have donated. "NoasArk" a first-time Etsy shopper purchased her first item from my shop to help donate. She is an amazing person and I think it's mind-blowing that so many people shop to help out causes like this terrible one. I know I've spent quite a bit of money at other various Etsy shops who are donating too.

On another note I'll be brining out a few more items in the shop including some banner earrings, brooches, and more leather cuffs (3 that I've already duplicated for myself). I've got a hinkering that I'll be giving one of the cuffs away as a give-away for February. I'll start it the first week of February so come back then to tell me your best story! :)

Cheers! And thank you for everyone's donation!!!

You can donate through the Red Cross or Paypal.
