I. Am. So. Excited.
Seriously.
For a little perspective, I'm usually sort of like this. But I'm not a cat.
Or, maybe like this. But I'm not Clint Eastwood. Or an old guy.
Which brings me to our winner!
TEISH, rafflecopter loves YOU and wants you to have The Jane Austen Cookbook! I've already sent you an e-mail, so just let me know your mailing address and I'll send it on!
Now, for the next prize, we're going back to art. This is a new artist I've met recently through facebook and the etsy community. I AM IN LOVE with her drawings. They're so whimsical. She's created a drawing just for us... ready????
Kristy Zink has the most adorable take ont he Austen heroines and I love how their personality really shines through. So, for the next give away, I'm offering this 8X10 Austen heroine art print. You can check it out in a few more close up shots here on her etsy page.
Ok, everyone! As always, enter early and enter often, and I'll announce the winners next week. Good luck!
What a cute drawing! Thank you for the fun giveaway - and yay for paperbacks! :) It *is* really special to hold your book in your hands in that way.
ReplyDeleteAs for the question, I have indeed bought items on Etsy - everything from a poster with Sherlock quotes on it to items for my own cover reveal/blog tour giveaways. I love shopping at Belle on a Budget on Etsy. I met Christy through blogging, and I've found a lot of great gifts (for others & myself!) in her shop. :)

Ooo, that's a great shop! I love https://www.etsy.com/shop/CastleOnTheHill (Castle On the Hill) and a few French shops that sell vintage café au lait bowls that I collect. And glass! Love French vintage glass!
DeleteAmber, you sweet girl! Thank you so much for recommending my shop. :) I've enjoyed perusing Virginia's blog, too...her books like like a great load of fun!

DeleteAnd I love this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/156732588/steampunk-ladybug-embroidered-canvas?ref=shop_home_active_11
I've purchased many jewelry making pieces and a few crochet patterns on Etsy.
ReplyDeleteI've bought jewelry, but never the parts or patterns. I just saw a vintage sewing pattern site yesterday!
DeleteWhat a lovely little picture. I know just where I'd put it. I'm also a Book-in-my-hand kinda girl. There's nothing like seeing a beautiful book on my nightstand waiting to be picked up and read, or a new one in my mailbox, or a matching bookmark to hold my page. I love ETSY!! My latest purchase was a vintage cover for my IPOD and IPAD mini. It has lace and roses on it. So pretty and dainty.
DeleteLaurie, I need to get a cover for my Kindle Fire. I didn't think I'd need one but as soon as it arrived, I realized I really do. Now, I'm on the search for the perfect, pretty cover!

ReplyDeleteThat's a very cute piece, Virginia. Thanks for commissioning it to give to one of us.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have never bought anything from Etsy before but I have won some Jane Austen notecards which was advertised in Etsy.
That's right! And they arrived, and I'm sending them on to you. (She didn't ship all the way to where you are.) Hang tight!
DeleteI know there are lots of lovely items on etsy but I have yet to buy anything
ReplyDeleteI've had a great experience so far. I used to buy on ebay, but several times I received things that just weren't... quite what it seemed in the picture. :(
DeleteI really want to win this!!!! I also want these bookmarks I found on Etsy:

Hope Rafflecopter loves me for this one!!!
HAHA! I know! I want one for me! I already have some Austen art from Castle On The Hill, but I really need a Kristy Zink original!

ReplyDeleteYes, and I actually have an etsy shop of my own. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you really? And the name? Don't be shy!
DeleteI have surfed through many etsy shops and am always a sucker for anything Jane Austen.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you! There are so many pretties to consider. :) Mostly, I love book art. (I love any kind of art, but pair it was words and I'm lost.)
