Hip Giveaway - Purple Bracelet

Ok, how great is Teresa's karma...she won the giveaway yesterday and is hosting the giveaway this week. Yay for Teresa!!

I have done a little jewelry making back in the day...but nothing like what Teresa creates. She has recently been introduced to bead weaving and according to her Etsy, she is now obsessed. It seems just so time consuming and so detail oriented...I don't think I have the patience. Teresa on the other hand has a crazy awesome inventory on her Etsy account and how beautiful are they going to be in person!!!!!

I bought some great Christmas decorations at a yard sale over the weekend so I'm in a bit of a festive mood...here are a few of my favorites from Penrose Designs...




And HERE is the prize for this week, this gorgeous purple bracelet...how lovely will that be to wear????


Cute as a button!!!!!

Hip Giveaway - Broaches

I am very excited to introduce you to Amy this week. Especially for everyone to see her whole shop. She came into our group after we had enough jewelry so unfortunately, she having to limit her inventory a bit for the final event. Luckily, we have an avenue for you to see all her handiwork through Etsy.


I am in love with this clutch, great color...great design...love it!


How great of a gift is her adorable coffee cozy???? What colors would you like to see?

Amy made these great broaches especially for this weeks giveaway. I think they are so cute together. I love to wear broaches on jackets, but have a new affection for them on t-shirts.

Hip Winners

I was hesitant to use random.org today with my #3 being the winner all the time...I mean that's not very random. I was then going to have my husband pick a number on his way to work, but I wasn't up in time. So, I tried it again and it chose #1. WHAT???? I never thought the 1st or the last person would ever win. If ever I enter a giveaway and I'm going to be the first comment, I always wait a few hours and come back. Well, not today. The lucky number was 1 and the lucky winner is THE ROYAL FAMILY!!!!!

Congratulations!!!

Baby Things by Jessica was another of my first vendors. I couldn't believe how many pairs of shoes she had sold on her Etsy site...and all she sold were shoes!! She is crazy popular and her fabric choices are just fabulous! I am very excited to have her on board.

Hip Winners - Beth

And the lucky lady is...Beth. I've been using random.org to help me choose a random number and I think this might be the 3rd time the winning number was 3. I might need to use a different way to pick my number next week. Somehow random.org doesn't seem very random.

Congratulations Beth, hope you enjoy your soap.
