Celebration Give Away! Come play!


Time to celebrate!  In honor of my 1,000th Etsy Sale and my 60th Birthday on July 4th, I have decided to host a little Give Away Contest.  All you have to do is leave a comment and take a guess as to how many laces you think are in this bowl.  Be sure to leave your email address if you do not have a blog to link back to so I can contact you.  By the way - this bowl is pretty big - it measures 4" deep and is 13" round....that's a whole lotta lace!


Pretty easy contest!   I will announce the winner at Midnight July 4th.  The person who is the closest to the right number of laces WITHOUT going over will win......

A $30 Gift Certificate to my shop: RavioleeDreams   You can spend the $ at any time before the end of the year be it for laces or CQ goodies or even have me custom dye some laces for you.


I've been spending a lot of time on the back deck dyeing up a storm latley and have been playing with some new colors - check them out!  All I need now is to find the time to upload them into my shop - stay tuned!

  7. Hiya Nicky Lee,
    My estimate is around 500. Have the best birthday ever Nicky! Just letting you know that on your bloglist my site has old address.
    Gosh After having knee replacement I'd be having a heart flutter or two if I saw this many gorgeous laces arrive at my house at the same time. Good luck to all the entrants.
