Hot Off the Press

I have some great finds to share with you this week! First of all, the Kotori Blog is giving away a copy of The Happy Book.

About the book, "The Happy Book gives you the opportunity to create a living record of the things in life - friends, memories, family, foods, books, songs, quotes, ideas, dreams - that make you happy. You'll scribble, sketch, ponder, paste, doodle and play. You'll make this book your own."

Sounds great, right? Be sure to stop by Kotori and enter to win!

Now, let me tell you, you'd have to be crazy not to get in on your chance to win the g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s. necklace pictured above. Her Majesty's Necklace is handcrafted by the lovely Monica of Moon Over Maize, and is made up of crystal quartz and multi-colored watermelon tourmaline. Swoon! Get those entries in! I think you've submitted a record-breaking number of entries so far, so pull out all the stops - tweet, follow, blog... you know what to do!

I have one more giveaway to share with you, but before we get to that, here's a few other things to talk about...

The holidays are almost here! If you're shopping handmade this season, and for jewelry in particular, what are you looking for? Rings? Necklaces? Earrings? Bracelets? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I have some ideas and lots to list - I need to get to work. Time is flying!

Did you read my post open to your book recommendations? I would absolutely love for you to share! Be sure to stop by while you're here and comment with your favorite reads or with what's on your to-read list. Calling all bookworms!

Tomorrow, I'll be starting a new series! Wishing For will post every Friday after Weekend Whimsy. I've decided to make it a regular post with the holidays right around the corner. What are you wishing for?

Lastly, I've been asked to participate in another Craft Show this year. Yay! This one is indoors, and is called Holiday CRAFT ATTACK. It will take place December 5th from 1pm to 5pm, in Charlotte, NC. I'll let you know when I have more info. (Oh, and I still have pics to show you from last month's show. They're coming, I promise)

I'll leave you with another great giveaway. The fabulous Cat of Uncorked + Polarity is hosting a giveaway by Bonspiel. That adorable little pouch to the left is up for grabs! Check out their shop full of cute things and become a fan on facebook. While you're there, peruse Cat's shops Polarity and Uncorked, and follow her funny, witty blog. It'll make you smile.

'Night all! ♥

Drumroll Please. . .

The lucky winner is Rachel of SunSwirlGirl! She said, "YAY!!! Going vegan is one of the best things I've ever done! I love to see people selling vegan food - not only are you doing something you love, you are spreading the word that eating vegan is yummy and super cool!"

Rachel wins a dozen scrumptious, VEGAN muffins from Baby Muffalatta! She gets to pick two yummy flavors, and will receive six of each. Congrats!

Rachel, stop back by and let us know what you choose!
Thank you to all those who entered and added Baby Muffalatta as a favorite!

Stephanie, thanks again for participating and being on my blog. I loved having you, and I'm sure others enjoyed reading more about you and discovering your shop!

Now for an announcement:

I am taking a little break from the blog this week. I have a craft show coming up October 10th, and I have set aside this time to prepare for it. I have LOTS of work to do!! If you're in the area, stop by and see me at the 2nd annual Craft Attack sponsored by Etsy in Charlotte, NC. I'd love to see you!

I've been tagged, so look for that post sometime this week. Otherwise, I will be back up and running as scheduled next week.

I hope everyone has a fabulous week! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
