* Holiday GIVEAWAY Bundle! *
It's time for another giveaway!Win some of these handmade holiday goodies.
The holiday season has arrived!I'd like to host a small giveaway with good intentions - to encourage you all to buy handmade & from local small businesses this holiday season. With the economy in a rut, one way we can all help boost it is by supporting crafters & entrepreneurs instead of big corporations. This giveaway is specifically aimed at those who are willing to consider actively buying handmade & supporting small businesses this Christmas.
The GIVEAWAY bundle itself includes:
* 2 Lark & Lola handcrafted rosette Christmas ornaments {made with real antique sheet music, winner will receive two ornaments like those shown above - picked for you, but they're all lovely}
* 1 package handmade Christmas gift tags {package includes 9 tags, all featuring a different holiday image from antique postcards, and strung on vintage-esque seam binding ribbon}
* 1 Christmas themed "NOËL" garland! {green & red & lovely! see www.larkandlola.com to view some of our handmade garlands - they are our best selling crafts!}
The giveaway value is $36!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great handmade giveaway, and thank you for directing me to "Take the Buy Handmade Pledge"!
ReplyDeleteI just took the pledge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful holiday giveaway! I will try to create myself or buy handmade as much as possible this holiday. The best toys don't have batteries and the best gifts are made with creativity and care!
ReplyDeleteI took the pledge!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to take the pledge to buy handmade. I purchased a few things from you at the Paris Flea Market for gifts, but cannot bear to give them away. haha. Have a wonderful day.

I took the pledge!!! Valarie
ReplyDeleteI posted a link to take the Handmade pledge on my FB page. Valarie
ReplyDeleteNot only will I BUY handmade, I'll make hand made too :) Feels good.
ReplyDeleteI made a pact with my husband that any of our purchased holiday gifts have to come from our neighborhood (Cooper-Young in Memphis, TN) in order to support the local small businesses. I will be hand-making all other gifts.
ReplyDeleteYes please! I always try to buy handmade gifts, mostly from you and Karen, but I like the idea of getting all my presents from that type of business. Do you know someone who can hand-make a Kindle? Just kidding. I still want to win these!
ReplyDeleteI will make a real effort to buy homemade this season! I will need a reminder LOL!! Your work is so beautiful I would do anything to win!!
ReplyDeleteI took the pledge a long time ago! Love your things, please keep us posted on upcoming shows!
ReplyDeleteI promise to buy more handmade and less Target:)!
ReplyDeleteFacebooked this!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I did all of this yesterday and tried to do all this on my phone but it didn't work!
ReplyDeleteI will make an effort to keep buying handmade...1. because I have so many talented friends and I love supporting them. 2. because I just cannot help myself!
I think it's a fantastic idea. I'd much rather buy handmade and support our local artisans, so am always happy to buy handmade and from small businesses. Love your things and hope to be able to win any of your lovely creations. :)

Hello! It was so lovely to meet you at the Art by Craft a few Saturdays ago! What a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I am planning on buying locally or on Etsy for as many Christmas presents as possible. I love that you're encouraging others to do this as well!
I will ONLY be buying handmade this holiday season!

I love the reason behind this giveaway. Even if i don't win ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm a lover of all things handmade on Etsy and while all of my purchases aren't necessarily "local" in terms of where I live, I still love the sense of community when buying from Etsy and supporting artists who are following their bliss! Great giveaway,

I promise to buy handmade and shop local! I work at a small toy store that sells a lot of locally made products, and it's so great to hear that people love to shop there for that reason.

Most definitely will buy (and/or make) as much handmade stuff this Christmas. Most of my tree ornaments are handmade (by me)...

I took the pledge a long time ago and only shop local. My car is 11 years old and only has 26,000 miles on it!
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteThis year I'm making recycled ornaments, and trying to make all my gifts personalized this year. I'm even making an attempt to make that suitcase side-table!
I've loved going to craft fairs since I was little. It is something I really loved and always will. I encourage others to take their little ones out too! You may be surprised at how much they love it.
Thanks for blogging, and thanks to all the people who comment! Makes me feel less like a 90-year old lady, and more like the 19 year old craft lover I am.
I took the pledge, and now I'm going to encourage all my friends to do the same via facebook!
ReplyDeleteGosh, just so much more stoked on making more ornaments now. :)
I promise, and I also promise to make more gifts this year! I'm one step closer just by thinking about gifts in November. Handmade takes a little time, not conducive to my tendency to last minute panic shop...
