1,000th Etsy Shop Sale Free Giveaway Promotion

As I approach another milestone in my Etsy shop I felt it only right to add some excitement and give something back to my customers. To that end I am having another freebie giveaway.


How it works is very simple. Starting with my 901st sale, all the way through sale number 1,000, each item you purchase earns you one entry in the freebie giveaway. So even if you purchase just one item you have a 1 in 100 chance of winning. Much better odds than say....the lottery!


This giveaway will have three prizes to be awarded.


The First Prize will be an assortment of 75 of my tree branch buttons, and a pair of my famous crooked stick shawl pins. At an average of $2.00 per button and $18.00 per shawl pin, the First Prize has a retail value of nearly $190.00


Second prize is none too shabby either. You will receive an assortment of 50 of my tree branch buttons, and one of my famous crooked stick shawl pins. Second Prize has a retail value of $118.00


Third Prize will be an assortment of 25 of my tree branch buttons, and one of my famous crooked stick shawl pins. Value for the Third Prize is nearly $70.00


So I will be giving away nearly $400.00 worth of buttons and shawl pins in this free giveaway.


Below are three photos showing you the First, Second, and Third Prize Packages.


I sincerely want to wish everyone who participates the very best of luck. And thank you for your business and patronage.

World Travelers


I was recently contacted to craft 450 big buttons to be used on oversized cowls. The buyer is from Brooklyn, N.Y. During our conversation she informed me she was packing her bags for a trip to Peru where her cowls are being manufactured. We agreed to a date that I would ship the buttons to her so she could take them with her on the trip. The buttons arrived safely and on time. Two days later they boarded a plane bound for South America. Once there they were delivered to the knitting shop to be added to the cowls. When all finished they will be shipped to exclusive, high end boutiques in Los Angeles and NYC. Imagine a shopper from France sees one of the cowls and purchases one and takes it home with her. The two buttons will have, at that point, travelled thousands of miles. And to think they were about to become mulch before I rescued them.
