Over the course of the summer, many spare moments were spent working on some homespun goodness for a local craft festival. The week of the event quickly arrived, and with it an unexpected family event for that very same day. I never made it to the craft festival, but that turned out just fine as I now have some things to offer at firefly farm goods, which has been sitting quite empty all summer.
Here's a bit of what I've been working on over the summer:
{ drawstring pouches }
{ recycled book cover journals }
{ some flea market treasures }
{ sugar sack & leather tote bag }
{ some zipper pouches }
Best of all, I would like to give away one of the
recycled book cover journals to one of you!
This journal is 5.25 inches wide x 7.5 inches tall.
Inside you'll find 100 sheets of acid-free blank white paper
plus pages of black & white nature illustrations
from an old book.
It can hold your writing, drawing, or scrapbooking momentos...
To enter the giveaway drawing,
just leave me a comment.
This is open to all readers, even if you
are outside the US.
And, if you are an anonymous commenter,
be sure to leave your email address.
Comments will be accepted until
end of day tomorrow, Tuesday October 9, and I will announce a winner
on Wednesday, October 10.
Thank you all for taking the time to stop by and visit!
Deb
*Note: Comments are now closed and a winner will soon be announced--thanks for entering!!
