Craftsbury Kids Giveaway!!!

So cool! One reader will win a $75 gift certificate to Craftsbury Kids. Craftsbury specializes in beautiful, handmade merchandise for children. The majority of the treasures they sell are made in the USA and Europe.

So, what would you do if you won the gift certificate? I can't enter, but it sure is fun to dream...

Maybe I'd get Linnea a scary monster. Glenny Monster is handmade in Oregon by doll maker Casie Nipper from cotton fabric and fleece. And, it's good to know that he is machine washable.

Glenny the Plush Monster ($30)



Bird-loving Arielle would love to have her name in "birds."

Storybook Bird Banner ($18.00 per letter)



The same American artist, Irma Niekum, makes absolutely stunning mobiles ($82.00), dolls and party favors.




Tooth Fairy Doll ($28.00)




Or maybe a pretty pendant ($18.00) and a sweet ruffled petticoat ($49.00)



I love petticoats.



I think this is my absolute favorite. Arielle and Linnea love playing birthday party. The 10" tiered cake comes with two sets of trims, four roses, and a birthday candle so kids can decorate the cake themselves. Everything is made of hand or machine sewn out of quality wool blend felt. It comes with a pretty box with ribbon on top. What little girl wouldn't love it?

Felt Cake Decorating Kit ($45.00)



A cute-as-can-be gingerbread house is also available.

To enter, just go to Craftsbury Kids and browse the wonderful handmade goodies on the site. Pick your favorite out of all the clothing, jewelry, toys and decor and other "pretties" and tell me about it. You can enter by comment, email or Facebook message. The winner will be chosen on December 2nd.

  4. Oh the storybook bird banner! My kids watch birds out of their bedroom window every afternoon and the banner would be just perfect to hang above it.

    I can't decide between the felt gingerbread house or the felt cake. Both are too cute!

  9. oooh! I think I'd have to get my kiddo the art box. It would be perfect to keep him distracted in the car on the 9 hour trip to my folks house for the holidays.

  11. I am new to your blog but am so amazed! I am always searching for high quality safe toys for my little girl. It is so nice to have a great place to go to get a reference! Thank you!!!!! And on top of all that you have give-aways??? I am in heaven! So on that note I searched through the Craftsbury kids web site and would like to narrow down my list to one of everything, lol. Seriously I have fallen in love with the Art Box. I had one as a child and loved it. My daughter is always dragging along paper and crayons, it would be so nice to have a portable box to take her art with us and a huge bonus to have the box as something to draw on. I love the story of why the artist designed it too. In memory of her Grandpa, very heart warming!!!

  12. My favorite were the Silhouette Pendant, they are so sweet. But I would have to get the felt cake for my daughter. Ever since her 3rd birthday party two weeks ago she's spent hours everyday playing birthday party with her dolls, baby brother and me. She would love the cake!

  13. The cake is my favorite!!! I also love the felt crowns and flower finger puppets.

  14. If I won a gift certificate to Craftsbury Kids, I think I would be totally selfish and get myself the Daisy bag! It kind of reminds me of Mary Poppins. Mommy is allowed a treat sometimes too right?

  15. I know that when I was a kid (maybe even a little bit now ;) ) I would have LOVED to have a Willow Pavillion!!!

    That is the first thing I saw and I know there is going to be a million other things I love on there, too!

  16. I love the big girl's a-line dresses and I'd love to get a set that are similar, but not matching, for my twin daughters -- those are SO pretty!

  17. I would love to get the Belle and Boo Treehugger print for my daughter's room! It is so pretty! Thanks for the giveaway!

  28. I would have to get the pink bolt cape. I think it would have to be shared with Lily (my 5-year old) and Mama when I needed some extra pep to my step to become SUPER Mama!

  29. I love the teapot & teacup drawer pulls. I want a little girl so badly and when I have one I'm doing her nursery in a tea set theme. The drawer pulls would be perfect!!!

  31. I can't stop looking at the felt playhouse! Made with 100% wool felt, in the colors of your choice! Wow! Custom colors! I'm sold. How cool. I think I would play with this more than my daughter. http://www.craftsburykids.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_99&products_id=903

  32. There are SO many things to choose from. I just keep going back and looking. Thanks for reminding me that I need to do more than look. I have to choose!

    I'm thinking the Giant Personalized Ball, A sophie Giraffe, and a chocolate bear hat for my little Teddy bear.

  33. I just love the Amongst Magic Print! it reminds me of my almost 4yo who lives in an imaginary land half of her awake time. I would also buy that felt cake! I was going to try to "make" one, but it would be so much better to win one!

    ReplyDelete
  34. oh my goodness how do you pick just one. I would have to pick the pink bolt cape. I know that London might share every once in a while. Plus a cape can be everything. Hair, a hat, apron, mask, tent, hideout, a whole dress for India

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow! Almost missed this one!

    There is SO many wonderful things to choose from, it would be a tough choice! I love the Art Box and the Damestart Baby Partly Cloud Tee....but that is just a few of MANY, MANY things...love it!

  36. Lulu's Woobies are the most adorable hats I have seen..... I wish my children were small enough to wear one.

  37. Wow! What a great website! I would get a few capes (do they come in adult sizes?) and a crayon roll for my son - OK, for me. But I am good at sharing.
