Time For A Giveaway!


Ok,
I'm finally ready to reveal the project I have been working on!

I'm having a little giveaway here at Garden Of Daisies!
No milestones. No particular reason.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for reading my blog! 


This giveaway includes:

Lilac & Lavender soap and lotion made with goats milk by Sisters Five Soap and Lotion Works.  Some of you may already know Michaele of Sprout 'n' Wings Farm, who blogs about raising a family and goats and chickens on her Nebraska farm.  I love reading her goat posts and was excited to try some of her products.  I ordered extra so I could share with you. Be sure to visit her blog and online shop.

A sunflower spoon bracelet made by Iowa Artist, Dan Kemp. (Actually this bracelet may have been made from forks.)  Dan makes unique and beautiful jewelry.  He also has a great sense of humor!  His etsy shop, Dank Artistry, is filled with truly lovely bracelets, rings and pendants.  I hope you will stop by his etsy shop and look around.

And two small pouches made by me.  One is crocheted in lilac yarn, lined in a fun floral fabric and tied with a satin ribbon. The other is a drawstring petal pouch, using the fun floral and complimentary dot fabrics.  They are the perfect size for carrying small items in your purse or luggage.  Or for keeping things organized in your glove box or school locker.




And.... 
There is a second giveaway.  This one is a mini version.  


It includes Lemon Verbena soap and lotion made by Sisters Five Soap And Lotion Works.  Another petal pouch (made by me) features a soft green fabric to compliment the bright floral.

Once again, thank you for reading my blog
and for leaving such lovely, heartfelt comments. 
Having a blog has been so much fun, because of you!

GOOD LUCK!!

(Both pouches were inspired by pictures I saw online. I did not use a pattern, 
or have any measurements available, but just did my best to create something similar.)

  47. Ohhhhhh those things in your giveaway are lovely.
    Funny that I visit lots of blogs of crafty people, sewing people, cooking people....(all those things I am not)
    Cause I like to MARVEL at how people can do that. Which is weird cause my mom was a blue ribbon quilter, sold painting she did, you name it.
    I got none of that gene from her.

    I love the title Garden of Daisies. How wonderful would that be to have a garden full of daisies. Such an unpretentious flower.
    We have only been on our 1/4 section for 2 1/2 years..and it is not landscaped yet. We have tons of work to do around here.

    Was so nice of you to come visit my blog. How did you find me?? I'll be back to see what you are up to and what lovely things you are creating.
    have a great weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  48. OH, and one more thing. Those embroderied dish towels on your hearder made my heart melt.
    My grandmother did a set for me when I was first married.
    gosh, I wish I still had those.

  49. Wonderful Giveaway! Thanks for your visit and have a lovely weekend.
