My Dandelion Wishes GIVEAWAY!

Yes, get ready for a little shameless self-promotion... ;)

I have officially opened my own etsy shop! I had been thinking about it for some time and finally thought, “What am I waiting for?” So, to generate a little buzz and celebrate my opening, I’m doing my own giveaway!!

My shop is called "My Dandelion Wishes" and has a pretty similar feel to my blog – calm, serene. I just love the image of dandelion seeds blowing in the breeze. My girls and I call them wishes. When some people are suffering from allergies we’re out there blowing wishes and having a great time! J

As many of you already know, I am currently a stay-at-home-mom, but not for too much longer! I’m headed back to teaching this fall and anticipate the household being crazy busy! As a result, most items in my shop are ready made. That being said I am always open to special requests and questions – never hurts to ask right?!

My Dandelion Wishes carries items for Mom, child and babe. Check out this super funky and unique crocheted Rainbow Splash Necklace for Mom.

It’s super light weight and totally safe for babes to chew or pull!! And at only $4 it’s a total steal for the statement it makes!

I have also been busy crocheting luxurious baby blankets – these blankets are made from a pattern that was passed down to me (taught only, never written down) by my Grandmother and have such a great bubble-like texture.


With 3 girls at home it’s only natural that I’m drawn to all things girly and pretty – these Large Boutique Flower Hair Clips certainly fit that bill!

I can make these in virtually any color combination! They’re great for attaching to hats and also get great reviews when included in birthday party loot bags!

My current fave item in my shop are these totally irresistible Crocheted Owl Hats. I can make them in any size from NB to adult! My girls just LOVE theirs!


These hats would also look super cute on a babe for his/her first Halloween!

BUY IT!

Head on over to my shop My Dandelion Wishes and make a purchase – every order over $20 (before shipping) will receive 2 FREE Boutique Hair Clips!! Not only that, but scroll down and you’ll see it will also get you a few extra entries into the giveaway!

WIN IT!

One lucky reader will win a Crocheted Owl Hat! You choose the size, up to 12 months and whether you’d like it for a boy or a girl!

Mandatory Entry

As always, please leave your email address with every comment (unless it’s in your profile)… you don’t want to win and then have me not be able to reach you!

Visit My Dandelion Wishes, have a look around and choose your favorite item then come back here and tell me what it is.
