Happy birthday! I first visited your shop coming from Poppy Handmade, because I really liked the "A day at the beach" piece with the flower print applique. I also really like the Greta dolls!

My worst birthday present was when I was 15 and my granny gave me a pair of three legged tan coloured tights (pantyhose). The packaging said something about "roll up a laddered leg and roll down a spare, you dont have to worry again if you get a ladder".... just plain weird....

Carapace said...

Following happily along!

I love those bear brooches! But my favorite things in your shop are the curiosity necklaces.

my worst birthday gift ever was a horrible sparkling green american football jacket that my sister was so in-my-style... but it so wasn't!!! i kept it, though... and gave it back to her as a birthday gift just when she thought i had forgiven her for that sin!!

Your art is so gorgeous! I love the Greta dolls and also Henry Contemplates His Next Adventure II. You should illustrate some childrens books.

Bhavesha said...

I agree with Kathleen W, you should illustrate some kids books.

I love A Day At The Beach (especially the floral beach blanket) and Greta Is Not Amused. I've had them both favourited for a while. I'd love to win a Greta brooch or doll! Thanks for having such a great giveaway.

My best birthday present was a guitar when I was 16 from my Mennonite non-music listening parents, who FINALLY showed a sign that they understood me and my ways. I haven't put it down since and they come to every gig I have in town.

Greta with balloons makes my day.

Victoria said...

Happy Birthday, and what a great giveaway! I would be thrilled to win one of your works!

Well, I am already a follower of your blog, but I will say what my worst B-day gift was... a cheap-o, ugly, black, cordless wall phone which my well meaning and practical (and cheap) Hubby gave me for my 40th birthday. Our old phone was on the fritz, and he thought that giving me this piece of junk was a good idea. It wasn't.
(But I forgave him :0)

Robin said...

Love your work, would LOVE a brooch! Your work is very inspirational! Thanks!

I followed!!

babalisme said...

I love curiosities necklace the most.. and I can't seem to find something that I hate...

babalisme said...

My worst birthday gift would be... umm nothing, I'm easy to pleased, but I remember an ugly wooden box that a friend gave me, looks like she unintendedly picked it up from the dumpster for me, but I use it till now, nonetheless.

My best ever, is a handmade doll that represent me :)

PussDaddy said...

I don't care to be in a giveaway, I just wanted to say how cute all of those are.

Love, love, love your shop! Can't believe I'd not seen it before. My favorite item of yours is "A day at the Beach"...though I like very many other things too!

If I were to win, I would choose the pillow...I used to make embroidered character pillows myself a long time ago,and have a soft spot in my heart for them. Greta is just so cute!

I'll share my 2 best birthday gifts, because they were basically the same thing. When I was 12 I got my very own real sewing machine! Oh, I was so excited and proceeded to spend almost every day since then either making something or thinking about what to make next. Then...when I was 43 I got a beautiful new Swiss Elna sewing machine! Sigh, happy days.

I've also signed up to be a blog follower...so I can keep an eye on what wonderful new things you have going on!

Smiles, Karen

Your store rocks!

Hollyrocks said...

The best birthday gift I've ever received was on my 19th birthday. My boyfriend and I had only been together for about a month, but he got me the most adorable Hello Kitty lunchbox (I collect lunchboxes). It showed that he paid attention to my interests and my personality. He's also given me numerous thoughtful gifts on the following birthdays for the past 6 years, but that one will always hold a special place to me. I still use it almost daily, I store my polymer clay inside it. ♥

Julie said...

You are so talented!!! Like you, my grand-mother is and will always be my inspiration... She was the most beautiful and gifted women, a true gift to me... I love your art, it is divine... I will put a link to your bog on my blog... My favorite piece is the -piggyback at the Beach-, it touches me deeply as I have two daugthers, the oldest piggy back the youngest at the beach here in Australia all the time... Beautiful work!!!
