On the 5th Day of Etsy… Recycled Alphabet Pillow Giveaway

♫ my true love gave to me, a fab alphabet pillow made from recycled suits, ♫ a handful of sweet upcycled heart felts, ♫ three lovely reclaimed wooden handcrafts, ♫ two calling handmade upcycled bird ornaments, ♫ and a fantastic stocking made from men’s recycled suits. ♫
Giveaway number five is a lovely, lovely custom alphabet pillow from Hilary Cosgrove. Hilary’s pillows are made from fabulous recycled suit jackets. She does a fantastic job of searching out and finding the most lovely and unique suit jackets, some will have buttons, some will have a pocket. You will also find retro awesome tweeds, herringbones and checks in her collection of fabrics to choose from. Either way, you will get a fabulous pillow that will be cherished for generations to come. Since Hilary has tons of suit fabrics to choose from in an array of colors and fabrics, you will have a hard time deciding on a fabric. Once you do, Hilary makes all of her lovely pillows by hand and can make all letters. Wouldn’t it be perfect to give someone their initials as a holiday gift this year? I can picture these pillows adorning my sofa, bed, overstuffed and wooden chairs, can’t you?

Hilary has sewn and crafted since she was a child. You will see her attention to detail and fabulous personality show through in her work. Hilary loves all textiles and textures and likes to try anything and everything that catches her fancy. {My kind of gal.} Some of my favorite items from Hilary Cosgrove’s Etsy Shop include:

The Tiny Birds Who doesn’t want a sweet little bird perched on the mantle?

The Owl Pillows You know how I feel about Owls, right?

The Origami Mobile It’s Origami, do I need to say more?

A huge thank you to Hilary Cosgrove for hosting this sweet giveaway.

On the 4th Day of Etsy… Upcycled Heart Christmas Ornaments Giveaway

♫ my true love gave to me, a handful of upcycled heart felts, ♫ three lovely reclaimed wooden handcrafts, ♫ Two Calling Handmade Upcycled Bird Ornaments, ♫ and a stocking made from men’s recycled suits. ♫

Giveaway number four is a set of Upcycled Heart Felts {$16} from Sewn Natural. These would be perfect for your child to hang on the holiday tree or to give as a gift to someone who recently had a baby or has small children. You could even keep them for yourself and hang them on your own tree.

Sewn Natural is my favorite Etsy shop when it comes to organic baby and toddler items. Sewn Natural is a collection of Eco friendly baby and toddler blankets, quilts, toys, dresses, kids’ messenger and sleep bags, holiday items and much, much more. All of Sewn Naturals collection is made with all natural, organic and rescued upcycled fibers. The collection pairs sustainable Eco design with mod offbeat style. Fab, fab, fab. This lovely Mother and Daughter team creates the most wonderful children’s products that I have seen. Her use of simple modern lines and fabulous colors will make you and your little ones smile. Take a look around Sewn Natural and I believe that you will see something that you will fall in love with. Sewn Natural would be the perfect place to purchase a one of a kind baby shower gift or a lovely holiday gift for the little ones in your life.

Eben saw the organic stuffed dog while I was drooling, I mean browsing the sight and told me that he would call him Olive and would sleep with him every night. {I have to agree, I would snuggle with him too.}
I also think the gnome upcycled baby dolls are delightful.
Who wouldn’t cuddle up in an organic baby quilt?
Do you also remember that I love, love, love the children’s messenger bags? Lovely, no?

A very lovely thank you to Sewn Natural for hosting this fab giveaway.
