Back in Business (and a giveaway!)

I have successfully added a batch of
darling minky blankets to the SewSara shop.



I love stacking them up and admiring all the pretty fabrics.
Ahhh how will you ever choose which one you want?!



These are my favorite size blanket right now. Perfect for using in the carseat or stroller instead of folding your big baby blankets in half so they don't drag -- you know what I'm talking about?!


And for $5 extra, I will customize the blanket.
like this:

(fyi - simon's blanket is a full size minky. you can custom order them from me!)

Now ... to celebrate my etsy re-opening AND my 3-year "ETSYversary" I thought it would be fun to have a giveaway. It's been awhile hasn't it?

Here's how you can win:
I'm gonna try and keep it simple.

1. make a happy comment on this post
2. blog or facebook about my etsy shop
(and tell me and/or link me to it)

comment once for each entry only, please.

that means each person can comment twice. you know what i'm saying!


The winner will get his/her choice of darling minky blanket!

Is that simple enough?

I'll draw a winner on Saturday.

(after I come home from Oh Sweet Sadie where I'll be helping my sister-in-law ... or pretending to help since I'll have Simon with me)
