giveaway: bolga basket, vase & wooden animals

by erin on September 3, 2010

I love going to a blog that I regularly follow and seeing some sort of handmade treasure being given away.  I decided to give something that fits my personality & what I blog about on this space.

My giveaway includes:
• A bolga basket. I wrote about how much I love baskets here. Bolga baskets are my favorite, non-thrifted basket. The colors are just beautiful & each is individually handcrafted.
• A thrifted vase: I bought this vase at the thrift shop for $1.50 and the very same weekend went down to Old Town, San Diego and saw it in the pottery shop for $10. I love a good save & this is so bright and colorful (handpainted in Mexico).
• The wooden figures: a mushroom, fairy, frog & snail. I’ve really enjoyed handmaking these little guys & for those who have asked, I’ll be sharing later this week what our little “workshop” looks like & the tools that I use.

The rules are pretty simple. This giveaway will run until Wednesday of next week. To be entered, leave a comment below. I’m curious how many lurkers are out there. For additional entries, leave a second comment the following day. The only rule is one comment per day. The winner will be announced Thursday. I will ship anywhere… even Guam. :-)

I love that you will ship to Guam…and I love the little girl in the pictures even more. She is ADORABLE!!!! Her Auntie misses her and the little dude a TON! And Syd loves her little wooden animals from her birthday…as does Tommy. Miss you.

I’m in good old Ohio! Compared to Guam, the postage is a pretty cheap. :)
Fun give-a-way! I’m in.

beth September 3, 2010 at 6:51 am

Oh, yay . . . I love giveaways! But I would read your blog even if you didn’t have them :)

Suzanne September 3, 2010 at 7:49 am

You know I love baskets, Erin! Any shape any kind! :)

Emmy Jean September 3, 2010 at 7:55 am

A thrifter after my own heart! :) Great vase!

Liz September 3, 2010 at 11:24 am

I love that little toadstool set. It’s so cute and it would match the green colors in Adam’s nursery. We can never get enough baskets and that vase would be perfect for a little arrangement in the guest room!

What a great giveaway. So glad you commented on my blog, otherwise I would have missed a great site. you have been bookmarked!
thanks for sharing

Dawn September 3, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Oh yay! Those are such sweet little treasures. I’m only sorry that the cute little girl doesn’t come with the package. ;) I would love to know how you make your wooden figures.

What a cute giveaway!
I’m in Canada honey – for me I would just be thrilled with the wooden cut outs (less to ship) as AMAZINGLY ADORABLE – my daughter would go nuts for them ;)

dani September 3, 2010 at 7:16 pm

Not a lurker. But loving it all the same.

Mega amounts of banner love coming to you as well!

grace September 3, 2010 at 8:41 pm

Been wanting a bolga basket…

Not a lurker or regular read (yet)! Came to your blog today via Magic Onions. Will be back!

Jenny September 3, 2010 at 8:43 pm

Erin, how generous is this giveaway? So sweet! Love everything, of course. Also, can we talk web design sometime because I love yours! Tried your picnic button tutorial and failed miserably, I might be a hopeless cause! :)

Dani September 4, 2010 at 7:05 am

What a great giveaway Erin! I love the basket and would love to have some of your wooden figurines. I did have to laugh at shipping to Guam (since I know who would more than like receive it out there ;) ).

Lia September 4, 2010 at 12:24 pm

Too cute! I love your little wooden animals!

Victoria September 4, 2010 at 5:42 pm

Day two of your give-a-way! I’m in!

Ginny September 4, 2010 at 6:55 pm

This is such a nice giveaway! We have been wanting to try making similar wooden figures with scraps from my husband’s carpentry job. I would also love a bolga basket. We don’t have one! The vase is beautiful, you are so nice to give it away!
p.s. your mudpie kitchen is really cute!

Debbie W September 4, 2010 at 9:36 pm

I too love the bolga baskets! And your little wooden figurines are too cute….I have just the place for them.

rae September 4, 2010 at 11:31 pm

i am a huge bolga basket fan, too! and a lover of wooden toys and figures. ;) i found you through natural suburbia. i am sleep now, but am excited to come back and explore this space another time. glad to have found you!

Laura W. September 5, 2010 at 6:37 am

Yay, I love giveaways! I’ve been lurking for quite a while, since I googled “dyed playsilks”, and I’ve been going through the archives slowly reading all your posts. I loved the mudpie kitchen, and I think your kids are so lucky to have such a crafty mom. I also love your thrift store finds. I actually feel inspired to go to our thrift stores and see what I can find. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Debbie W September 5, 2010 at 8:03 pm

I have never had much success at winning things ~ I’m trying by adding my second entry on the second day. :)

Karen September 5, 2010 at 9:42 pm

Wow, I wish I had little wooden toys like that when I was a kid! We are big fans of baskets over here. We keep our truck loads of medications in them! Makes it less depressing when we go to count them out when its time to take them and keeps them out of sight when storing them.

Liz September 7, 2010 at 1:00 am

Comment #2. I forgot over the weekend; it as busy. We had a lot of fun hanging out with you guys. It’s always nice to spend time with you and your family. I can’t wait to see the pics!

kate September 7, 2010 at 6:22 am

Oh Yeah! I don’t want to miss out on this!

Dani September 7, 2010 at 8:19 am

Second entry :) I love seeing the stuff that you make for your kids … it’s so much fun, Erin!

Laura W. September 7, 2010 at 1:56 pm

Comment number two-I just love these. I wish more of my son’s toys were made of wood and natural fibers, instead of plastic. I’m working on making him a felt play food set for Christmas, but I’m dubious about my sewing abilities.

Debbie W September 7, 2010 at 7:31 pm

Visiting yet again to comment on the giveaway. Would love for them to come home with me. :)

rae September 7, 2010 at 8:49 pm

glad to be following your blog. i loved seeing pics of your workshop. i have dreams…..i got a dremel for xmas. that is my humble start. ;)

Shannon September 8, 2010 at 4:15 am

I’m not technically a lurker because i just found you through natural surburbia but i would so love to win your generous giveaway I LOVE those baskets and the vase is stunning as are the little wooden figurines – too clever. Think i will stay and have a look around!

Dani September 8, 2010 at 7:21 am

Aimee September 8, 2010 at 11:25 am

You know I am a regular reader! Love all your new crafts and Owen would adore those little cut-outs!

Liz September 8, 2010 at 11:58 am

Andria September 8, 2010 at 2:43 pm

Visiting from Handmade Holiday @ Plain and Joyful! Hope I am not too late. I’ll be back to check out your tools and workshop! Love the Bolga. Blessings.
