Time to learn about all the unique and handmade prizes that you can win through this giveaway!
Let me take this opportunity to thank all the artists who have donated their time and amazing products for this cause. When I started this, I was unsure if I would be able to reach any artist and if I would get a reply to my emails/links/messages/texts/stalking (sometimes I think they said yes just to get me off their backs! Thank you, any way!). Your generosity truly humbles me.
Here goes….
Made In Lowell: Liz from Made in Lowell has donated this needle felted mini cupcake pin cushion ring made from chocolate and strawberry wool. Yummy!

Town of Beadrock: Susan from Town of Beadrock has generously donated 2 bracelets that will be given away SEPARATELY for this benefit. An original take on the popular leather wrap bracelets made famous by designer Chan Luu – these are stunning!
White Dove: A single-wrap beaded bracelet featuring large white freshwater pearls on natural brown leather with a pewter metal clasp.

The beads are woven on on black leather and finished with a silver metal elephant clasp. This bracelet adds casual charm to neutral as well as colorful wardrobes; may also be worn double stranded as a choker necklace. Deep Sea measures runs a bit on the small side; it measures 5/16" wide and 30" long with multiple closures to wrap 4 times around wrists about 7 1/4" or smaller.
