WINNER Announced: Giveaway Day Two!

Congratulations to entry #60, Amber Cicchillo- you are today's winner! You win the variety package pictured below, and I will be in touch tonight for your requests for the headband sizes.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful participation so far this week- especially with the blog not working right today- I am hoping that will be cleared up tomorrow! It is so encouraging to me to read your comments (I really do read them all :)). The community that has formed around all this is one of my very favorite things about doing it, and I wish I could send so many of you free stuff to say thank you for being so instrumental in my life... but since I can't do that, I'm having fun with these giveaways this week, and hopefully you are too. :)

A few of the items posted tonight are new for my shop. Here are the links to them. 

Double Felt Rosette Headband in Blue Skies

Fairy Clippie

Tiny Sparkle Posy Clip

Felt Daisy Headband in Fuchsia and Pink

Anniversary Week Giveaways: Day Two- Carolyn's Collection and Felt Flowers!

Today's giveaway features a really fun section of my shop: "The Carolyn Collection." One of my very favorite things about the past year is the amazing artisans I've come to "know" (at least across our computer screens :)) who work the "supply" side of this business. It became pretty obvious to me (and my family!) fairly early on that there is no way I would ever be able to keep up with the amount of variety I wanted to carry if I did every single item from first stitch to final attachment. And so I started looking for others who have found their niche making applique, and began buying gobs of it wherever I could find someone who made products that reflected who I am as a mom and as an accessories maker.

I have fallen in love with the many different appliques that make up Carolyn's Collection (which I named for my oldest daughter)- and it was hard for me to narrow down the competition to complete today's package! But somehow I did it... and without further rambling, here is the package I'm offering as today's giveaway.

 It includes...

 One rolled felt rosette sparkle headband in sky blue and white with a navy blue band, awesome with those summer denim outfits!

 One (NEW!) felt fairy clip- I custom ordered this fairy to be made to look a little like Tinkerbell! A seriously revered pixie around here. :)

 One "Emma" felt flower clip in moss green. I included this more "adult" color because these clips are actually MY favorites to wear. I have the flowers in so many different colors I can nearly always make one to match my outfit, and I think the style looks just as good on me as it does on my daughters.

 One (NEW!) Tiny Sparkle Posy clip in aqua with crystal (you can request it without the crystal if you prefer). This is a new item I've been meaning to post for awhile now; these petite crocheted flowers are attached to tiny snap clips, which are simply perfect for the "barely there hair" set. :) Available in a wide variety of colors. :)

One Cupcake Clippie in brown and pink- because it is my "birthday" after all. :)

And finally, I'm so excited about the new color of daisies I've just received- This picture does not do it justice (eesh, I hate when my pictures look like this... but I'll have to go with it since there's not enough light yet to take another one!)- so you'll just have to believe me that the pink is a totally brilliant, vivid magenta that is going to totally POP this summer! The flower will be available in clip and headband form, and one lucky winner will receive this one for free! :)

This package is worth over $30, so I'm excited for whoever wins it! Here's how you enter. :)

1. COMMENT, either on my blog, or on the album posted on Facebook (this is required so I can find you if you win); if you enter on the blog, please leave an email address.
2. SHARE- as usual, share on your Facebook profile about the event, tell your friends about My Little Pixies via Twitter, email, blogs, whatever. Because I'm doing a daily giveaway week and I don't want to be perceived by all your friends on Facebook as annoying, you can only get credit for sharing TWO times during the week- so choose carefully which days you want to share. :)
3. Take the leap and make a PURCHASE from my shop. Anyone who purchases during this week will receive an extra TWO entries into EVERY giveaway you enter for the rest of the week (I've got a list going!) Use the coupon code "anniversary" to save 10%. I have activated this coupon code on my Etsy site and on my own website- though the selection is much more comprehensive on http://www.mylittlepixies.com
4. REFER a friend to:
-Join my Facebook page: make sure they tell me you sent them! (1 extra entry for them, 1 extra entry for you)
-Make a purchase from my shop: tell them to leave your name in the "special instructions" field so I can track your entries! (1 extra entry for them- plus the two entries they get for making  a purchase, and 1 extra entry for you)
5. If you have purchased from my shop before, leave me a (nice hopefully :)) REVIEW- either on my Facebook page or on my new website  (earn up to 2 entries on the contest day in which you enter the reviews if you leave one in both places).

Winner Announced: Giveaway Day One

Congratulations to entry #26, Andrea Wiltrakis- the winner of the first day of this week of package giveaways! You win the bow package pictured below, which includes a sampling of every bow style I currently make! I hope you enjoy them!

Many of the items I will be including in the giveaways this week are new colors or variations on styles because I wanted those of you who tend to accumulate my products (ha :)) to have something fun to possibly win! The items will be listed under the "New This Week" section, as well as in their respective sections of the shop (bows, etc) for those who didn't win but can't live without them. :)

Anniversary Week Giveaways: Day One- Bows

I'm so excited for the first day of my week of giveaways to celebrate the first year of My Little Pixies (which officially turns one on June 1). Each day's giveaway will feature a different section of my shop, and include items to celebrate where I've been, where I am today, and where I'm going in the future. 

Today's featured section is "Bows." This is totally fitting because that's how I got started- I began making bows for my girls when the person who made them for me went on maternity leave, and it just blossomed from there.

Today, one lucky winner will receive the set pictured above. It includes:

A pixie pink swiss dots "Carolyn" style bow (the very first bow style I learned to make!)

A pair of "Nora" bows in dark orchid and purple dots- a second style I started making because my younger daughter, Nora, just didn't look right in the bows that looked the same as her sister's! These bows are my favorites to make- which is why there are about a dozen pages of color options for this style!

A "Madeline" bow in a pattern of bright butterflies- a scaled up version of the "Nora" bow, made for bigger girls, or little girls who like bigger bows!

And one of the newest style of bows- the "Rachel" bow- in a super cute jumbo dots pattern in pink, blue, and green- goes great with all the tropical stuff out for the summer.

The "Rachel" bow also comes with an interchangeable nylon headband that connects well with the alligator clips I made all these bows with- so anyone can use this set, whether it's a new baby, a toddler, or a big girl. :) Those nylon headbands are wide, soft, and stretchy- they can fit a newborn, but still stretch comfortably to fit an older baby as well- up till about 6 to 9 months or longer. [if the person who wins this set needs a larger headband, I would be happy to switch it out for a standard elastic one]

So here's how the giveaway works. I will accept entries into the giveaway from 7am until 10pm EST. A 10PM, I will go through all my entries, assign each entry a number (for example, if you earn 2 entries to the contest, you might have entry numbers 1 and 2; the next person who enters and gets 3 entries would get numbers 3, 4, and 5)- then I will use random.org to select a winner and announce it both here on the blog and on Facebook. And tomorrow I'll post a new giveaway- tomorrow's featured section is "Carolyn's Collection and Felt Flowers."

There are several ways you can gain entries into my contest.


1. COMMENT, either on my blog, or on the album posted on Facebook (this is required so I can find you if you win); if you enter on the blog, please leave an email address.
2. SHARE- as usual, share on your Facebook profile about the event, tell your friends about My Little Pixies via Twitter, email, blogs, whatever.

Use the coupon code "anniversary" to save 10%.

Good luck, and I'm excited to get started with this week! Who knows how it'll go, but I'm sure it will be fun. Giving stuff away for free always is. ;)

The Details: Anniversary Week of Giveaways

So I'm sooo excited about this week coming up! I've been working through ideas in my head for awhile now, and I can't wait to share it all with you! :) Here's how the week will work.

Each morning, Monday through Friday, I will make a post here on my blog, and create an album on my Facebook page with the Giveaway of the Day. Because I'm all about commemorating things, each day will highlight a section of my shop, and the items given away will correspond to sharing where we've been in the past year, where we are today, and where we are going. Each giveaway will consist of several items, and the value of each giveaway will be considerably higher than what I typically do for weekly giveaways, so you won't want to miss them! All the giveaways will have "something for everyone," no matter what age the winner's child is! At least one of the items in each giveaway will include a headband for interchanging with clips, so don't worry if your baby doesn't have hair!

Here's the breakdown for what I'm planning:
-Monday: Bows- including a sampling of all the different bow styles I make
-Tuesday: Carolyn's Collection and felt flowers
-Wednesday: Posies- including both pixie posies and posh posies
-Thursday: Butterflies
-Friday: Fancy headbands

I will be doing a slightly different entry process than I typically do with several more ways to gain entries. Here are the ways you enter to win.
1. COMMENT, either on my blog, or on the album posted on Facebook (this is required so I can find you if you win)
2. SHARE- as usual, share on your Facebook profile about the event, tell your friends about My Little Pixies via Twitter, email, blogs, whatever. Because I'm doing a daily giveaway week and I don't want to be perceived by all your friends on Facebook as annoying, you can only get credit for sharing TWO times during the week- so choose carefully which days you want to share. :)
3. Take the leap and make a PURCHASE from my shop. Anyone who purchases during this week will receive an extra TWO entries into EVERY giveaway you enter for the rest of the week. Use the coupon code "anniversary" to save 10%. I have activated this coupon code on my Etsy site and on my own website- though the selection is much more comprehensive on http://www.mylittlepixies.com
4. REFER a friend to:
-Join my Facebook page: make sure they tell me you sent them! (1 extra entry for them, 1 extra entry for you)
-Make a purchase from my shop: tell them to leave your name in the "special instructions" field so I can track your entries! (1 extra entry for them- plus the two entries they get for making  a purchase, and 1 extra entry for you)

**Please do note- while I find it totally impossible to predict how busy I will be or how many people will actually order during an event like this- judging by past response, I expect that I will be pretty busy this week. IF you have a time concern or an event that you need your items for, please choose Priority or Urgent shipping, or make a notation or send me an email so that I know to expedite your order. I will still be trying to get everything out within a week, but depending on volume, some orders, particularly larger ones, may take a bit longer**

Monday Giveaways: Lace Flower Clip or Headband

Stay tuned for next week- it is the official one-year anniversary of My Little Pixies and I will be celebrating by doing a giveaway EVERY DAY Monday through Friday next week as a way of thanking many of you who have made this possible. :)

But for this week, I'm giving away one of the new things I've been working on over the past couple weeks.

A lace flower headband, pictured above on the pink damask elastic, but you can choose a different color headband if you prefer.

OR a lace flower clip. I made one for my daughter and it looks just darling on her ponytail!

Also, in my photo shoot on Tuesday last week, my "model" (aka my hair stylist's beautiful daughter :)) wore the lace flower clip paired with a large "pixie posy" (hers was the "pink songbird" one) and it looked SO cute together!! I wouldn't have ever thought of doing that, but I loved it!

Here's how you enter:

1. Leave a COMMENT, either here or on my Facebook page. It really helps me find you if you leave your email address, so please do if you feel comfortable.

Winner Announced! Daisy Clip or Headband

Congratulations to Liz Martell, this week's winner of her choice of any daisy clip or headband, plus a free shipping coupon code for any thing else she wishes to add to the shipment. :) Thanks, all, for playing!

Here are the links to this week feature clips and headbands, if you're interested in checking out the listing. :) I will be adding new colors as soon as possible (I just can't this morning), so if you're interested in one of the new colors (light yellow with white beading, orange with yellow beading, white with pink beading, salmon pink, white with yellow and blue centers, or nude with brown beads, just wait til tonight or include a request in the "special instructions" field).

Monday Giveaways: Daisy Clip or Headband- Your Choice!

This week's giveaway is for a perfect accessory for spring and summer! I was so delighted when I discovered these daisies, available in a wide variety of colors. The felt layers of the flower fluff up really cute and they are economical enough to have one in every color!

Sweet Jobee models a white daisy clip that her mom attached to an interchangeable elastic headband- so you can see that the clips are useful for everyone from babies on up. You can see that they are available in many different colors besides the classic daisy (including new colors that I'll be posting pictures of this week- white with pink centers, light yellow, orange with yellow centers, and black with white centers). You'll find these pretties in my shop under "Felt Flowers" and then select "Felt Daisies." I also list them under "Carolyn's Collection." 

 

  

Sometimes for little ones, you want a headband, because they look especially cute- these make awesome skinny headbands, and I love how they look on babies! If you prefer a wider headband for your daisy, just ask; I can easily do that, too. :)

So this week's giveaway is for YOUR CHOICE of any one felt daisy clip or headband. Here's how you enter to win!

1. Leave a COMMENT, either here or on my Facebook page. It really helps me find you if you leave your email address, so please do if you feel comfortable. 

2. SHARE with friends- via Facebook, blogs, Twitter, email- call your friends on the phone and tell them about this awesome giveaway this crazy gal in Michigan is doing... whatever- and tell me you did for an extra entry.

3. Become a new official follower of this blog (and tell me you joined) for yet another extra entry. :)

Then watch on Wednesday- the winner will be announced Wednesday morning! Each week's winner also receives a free shipping coupon code for any additional products he/she would like to purchase to include with the prize! Good luck everyone! This is one of my faves, and I can't wait to see who wins!

Monday Giveaways: Cute Caterpillar Clip

This week I'm doing the giveaway for one of my favorite new items from last week.

This week, one lucky winner will receive a choice of one cute caterpillar clip!

 They are available in pastel rainbow.

Congratulations to entry #39, Michelle Wiest! You win this pixie posy in tropical punch colors! :)

If anyone else wishes they had this one, here's the link. I also have it listed on Etsy, if you feel more comfortable shopping that way. :) I leave tomorrow on vacation for a few days, so I'll process and ship any orders I receive while we're away after we get home. :) Thanks!

Monday Giveaways: "Tropical Punch" Pixie Posy

This week's giveaway (it ends tomorrow morning this week due to my upcoming vacation) is for a medium-sized pixie posy, hand-crocheted by me in tropical punch colors. I love this color scheme for the summer because it incorporates so many of the popular colors! It's going to look just great with all those bright sundresses in my daughters' closets!

It'll also look super cute for babies this summer, especially if you clip it to a cute headband like the one this little girl is wearing. I will also provide the winner with a crocheted headband to use for two different looks, and I intend to begin offering these headbands as an additional option in my listings for these posies. :)

Here's how to enter:
1. Leave me a COMMENT, either here, or on my Facebook post.
2. SHARE with friends (via blogs, emails, Facebook, Twitter- tell a friend on the phone, whatever!) and tell me you did, for an EXTRA entry.
3. Become a NEW follower of this blog (and tell me you're a new follower) for ANOTHER extra entry.

Check back on TUESDAY MORNING for the announcement of the winner. I will announce on Tuesday this week because we are leaving on Wednesday for vacation. This posy is already ready to fly to a new home, so as soon as I have contact with the winner, it will be in the mail!

Good luck!
