Monday Giveaways: Cute Caterpillar Clip

This week I'm doing the giveaway for one of my favorite new items from last week. I had these cute caterpillars custom-made for My Little Pixies, and had to wait several months for them to be completed (as such, they are limited edition products)- so I was sooo excited to get to share them with you! This week, one lucky winner will receive a choice of one cute caterpillar clip!
 They are available in pastel rainbow.
Or red and green (originally designed as a custom request to match the Very Hungry Caterpillar book by Eric Carle!)

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 WEDNESDAY MORNING for the announcement of the winner. The winner also receives a coupon code for free shipping on any other order she wishes to have sent at the same time!

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!

New This Week (week of April 25)

I had a nice pace this week- not too crazy- I got a decent amount of sleep every night and did fun things with my kids. And I made something new every day, which keeps me happy and charged up and still loving what I'm doing. Here are the highlights. You can find all of this week's new items here under my "New This Week" category, but these are my favorites from the week

Black and white felt daisy clip and headband. I love how these fluffy felt flowers look. I now have them in several different colors, and each one makes me happy. :) More new colors are coming soon. :)
I got in a bunch of new felt colors for "Emma" felt flower clips and headbands- I especially liked this golden yellow. :)
I had a custom request this week for a navy and white flower, and was really excited to use some of the custom-made fabric button centers I ordered months ago. I love the subtle pattern of the flower in the middle of the posy. :) I have several more of that button, so I decided to list this flower in my shop because I like it so much. :)
I got some new ribbon colors for "Hailey" and "Hannah" headbands, and love the weaving together of black, brown, gold, purple, pink, and charcoal in this really fun flower that I just love for moms!
I made a lot of new butterflies this week- it's the "season" for them- but I think my favorites are the "Summer Love" butterflies I made in clips and a headband.
Or, maybe it was the Cute Cowgirl large butterfly I made today... I really can't decide. :)

That's it. :) Stay tuned for giveaway announcement on Monday- it'll be a quick one, wrapping up on Tuesday instead of Wednesday because we leave town on Wednesday. But it's for something good, so you don't want to miss it. :)

And now I'm off to have my toenails painted with this little sweetie. :) Happy weekend!

Monday Giveaways: "Emma" Felt Flower Clip or Headband



This week's giveaway is for YOUR choice of:

The flowers are available in a wide variety of colors, including white, cream, taupe, brown, black, baby pink, cotton candy pink, fuchsia, buttery yellow, pistachio green, baby blue, hydrangea purple and plum purple.

I've always loved these flowers, and when I was trying to decide on a name for them, they just seemed to belong with the name "Emma." Emma is a special name to me because it is the name of a very special person I have never met, but cannot wait to meet. I named this collection of items after the daughter of a close friend, who was tragically taken from this world much too soon, two years ago, after my friend suffered a placental abruption and sweet baby Emma was born stillborn. This week is Emma's birthday week (her birthday is April 28), and so with her mother's blessing, I am running this week's giveaway in honor of precious Emma.

So here's how you enter:
1. Leave me a COMMENT, either here or on my Facebook page.
2. SHARE about the giveaway, and http://www.mylittlepixies.com with friends- by Twitter, Facebook, blogs, email, whatever- for an EXTRA entry.
3. Be (or become) an official FOLLOWER of this blog (leave in your comment that you're a follower) for another EXTRA entry.
4. Check back Wednesday morning when I'll post the results and contact the winner.

As a special incentive for lots of fun, the winner will also receive a private coupon code for free shipping on any order she wishes to have sent at the same time as her prize!

Many thanks to Nessa Hendriksen Photography for the fabulous pictures! :)
