It's giveaway day at Smile and Wave (pardon my tardiness)! Three of my February sponsors have some goodies for one lucky winner!! This giveaway will be open until the end of Wednesday when one winner will be announced. One winner for all three giveaways!!
***********************
Gingiber
My giveaway item is this cute little orange purse made from vintage sheeting with a pink polka dot lining and detachable flower pin. Retail value is $35.
Giveaway item is the orange purse shown above valued at $35.00!
Hello, fellow Smile and Wave readers! My name is Amy and my Etsy shop, To Be the Bird, started out from a love for creative outlets, unique gift giving, repurposing, and the ever growing handmade selling community.
The name of the shop comes from a line from a poem I wrote years ago. The poem itself was not great or profound by any means, but the line 'Oh, to be the bird and never fear the fall' motivates me daily to live my life, my adventures, my artistic spirit with passion and to face fear head on. This little shop is just as step deeper into that spirit.
I hope you enjoy my products as much as I enjoy making them!
This giveaway is for $25 shop credit.
********************
To enter this giveaway share something off of your to-do list today in the comment section below! Winner will be announced Wednesday evening.
