SMS GrowMama Giveaway time!

Big ole Kiwi-style welcome to those of you new to GrowMama!

And to business...I make and sell my own designs made with gorgeous vintage fabrics for babies, children and accessories for the Mama's and Papa's. All designs are tried and tested in house. Hardwearing, stylish, simple, comfortable and easy on the pocket and the earth. Each piece i make is unique to you. The GrowMama blog is, well, snapshots of our daily life living in the bush, by the beach, crafting up a storm...living as large as we dare.

This time 'round i am offering a package of GrowMama goodies for the hardworking Mama

1) Vintage fabric headband. Perfect for those bad hair days (lets face it, every mama of small children should own at least one!). Can be worn folded over with hair peeking out vintage style, gypsy scarf style...you'll find what works for you.
2) Vintage barkcloth glasses case - stop those glasses from getting scratched bouncing around in the bag.
3) Pocket tissue holder for the handbag. Every mama's in need of an emergency tissue from time to time.
4) A surprise gift. I'll get to know the winner a bit and pop something into the package...clothing for one of your kids? A re-usable vintage fabric snack bag? Clues may be found in the GrowMama Felt shop HERE.
Tame the chaos of your bag with a glasses case in vintage barkcloth. I loved my headband in this fabric so much i made one for you.


Plus, there's that surprise remember!


Leave a comment below. In your comment leave a link to a favourite blog and say why you love it. Try and give one that isn't quite so well known if you can. That way, we can all share the blog love...i love discovering a new favourite blog, don't you?! (Oh yes, have a wander through the GrowMama archives too and stick around...i have some great weekly features and some blog design tweaks to launch in the New Year. GrowMama readership is growing and Growing...hoorah and hi everyone!)


International entries very welcome. Giveaway closes December 16th, 5pm PST'ish. I read every comment and put my ten favourite ones into the magic hat and the winner is traditionally chosen by the smallest member of the household.
Happy Giveaway Days to y'all!

  8. I love the misterxstitch blog, at http://www.mrxstitch.com/ I've been loving my embroidery lately, and that's a great one. Feeling stitchy (http://www.feelingstitchy.com) is also a good one.

    I would love that headband- I'm always looking for good ways to keep my hair out of my face at work, because I work with potentially-infectious human blood samples and reaching up to brush hair out of my face is a very, very bad idea. corvus.melloriATgmailDOTcom

  29. I'm not goign to share my favourite, but my "oh look at that"- blog of the month
    http://crochethealingandraymond.wordpress.com/
    I just love the colour combinations and the tutorials and ohh well it makes me feel like I should do some more crocheting again.
    But alas all my knitting/crocheting/sewing stuff is boxed up and safely tucked away at grandmas. I cuoldn't resist to take some fabric and sewing needles along but all the rest ... ahh well March will come.
    Well anyway I found lot's of projects for my "I want to try that out" list.
    If you ask me next month I will probably be doing my "ohh look at that"-notions on another blog ..

  40. Not really a lesser known blog, but I love http://www.sewweekly.com/ , especially their Make This Look column.

  41. My favorite is http://marmeecraft.blogspot.com/ My Cozy Little Whimsy Nook, because she makes a lovely fantasy world for herself. (And I like her art and her sewing projects.) Neat things you have!

    ReplyDelete

  42. This isn't a craft blog but I often go to it for inspiration. She posts photographs from editorial fashion, architecture and vintage photos. Every time I go there I have to give myself a time limit for the visit, or I'd be there for hours. http://dustjacketattic.blogspot.com/ .
    And those eyeglass cases are such a great idea! As are the picnic mat roll-ups, haven't gone on a picnic in ages and those would make it so easy.
