The first feature/give away is brought to you by LeBoutique an Etsy shop run by Carmen from California.
#1. How did you decide on your shop name?
I originally wanted to name ‘La Boutique’ using the ‘La’ in Spanish, but it wasn’t available. The reason I chose this name is because eventually I want to sell clothes as well (right now my apt is really small and doesn’t give me the liberty to do it) and I figured this name didn’t limit me.
#2. When did you start crafting?
I’ve always been a crafter. My mom always had us doing crafts ever since I can remember. I learned how to embroider when I was 7!
#3. What or who inspires you?
The fabric or whatever material I have on hand or see at the stores.
#4. Do you have a day job?
Yes I do. I am a project administrator for one of the biggest nonprofit drug and alcohol treatment programs.
#5. What is the item in your shop you enjoyed making the most and why?
All of them. I don’t have a favorite. Everything I make is something I would totally wear.
Audrey's Accolades:
If you every wear your hair pinned back or in a pony tail - this is the shop for you. The bobbies and pony tail holders are so nice! I can't imagine the work it must be to put the lovely fabric onto the items. Amazing!
So here is my pick for the favorite item in Carmen's shop and it is also the Give Away item. The Give Away will run from today until Feb. 14th. Wouldn't this wallet make a lovely Valentine's gift for yourself?
To enter - go to Carmen's shop - LeBoutique, and pick your favorite item. Come back here and tell us what it is. It's that easy to enter!!
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!
Audrey's Country Crafts is in no way responsible for the mailing of the prize. After the name is drawn I will contact that person. They have 3 days to respond before another name will be picked! The name and address will be forwarded to Carmen at LeBoutique. Thank-you for entering.

ReplyDeleteI <3 The BUTTON RED ROSE BOBBY PINS!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18768342
Just looking at them makes me happy!
I love roses, and red is one of my favorite colors( the color theme of my wedding I have decided is going to be red and white!)
And hair stuff is something I shop for often. This is one way I can express my fashion sense at work( I have to wear a uniform, because I am in a food establishment! So I dont get to wear pretty clothing).
I love everything about those bobby pins, and thanks to you, now I know where I will be shopping on Etsy next!

ReplyDeleteI totally missed what or how you're giving away. I read your post, and don't get it? lol Must be too tired. Your items are cute, though I have short hair and so pinning it or putting it in a poney isn't something I've done in years.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your quest for selling clothes.
