The Purple Pear Giveaway

I’ll tell you a little secret. I absolutely adore ETSY.  I could get lost perusing there for hours. So when I started thinking about doing this giveaway, instead of just doing a few commercial things, I wanted to go all out and make it a week long event to make sure to include several wonderful shops so those of you that have not yet discovered it could. Going to the ETSY site is sort of like visiting an AMAZING craft fair except you never need to leave your comfy chair. And the crafters there are not the average crafters, many of them are true artists. I highly recommend you make ETSY a regular stop when looking for special things for your home or for gifts. The items are unique and most are handmade.

But do not visit yet! First I want you to get a peek at The Purple Pear and get a chance to score one of their wonderful offerings. The Purple Pear has many really fun accents such as magnets, pendants, and pretty office supplies. She has over 150 things in her shop right now! Plus she even does custom projects for gifts, favors, announcements and many other events or occasions.

I have been eying several things for myself, but instead I contacted Catherine and begged asked for a particular type of magnet to offer to you and she agreed!  Want to see what one very lucky person is going to get?

Pretty with a purpose! So, do YOU want to make them yours? There are just a couple of little things you need to do.

1. I need you to visit The Purple Pear and pick out a few of your favorite things then come back here and let me know what they are in the comments.
2. For anyone who wants extra entries, I will give two extra entries for anyone who tweets about this giveaway or passes it along. Just let me know in the comments that you did so. (You can follow me or use a #lpo hash tag so I can find it.)
3. That’s it.  If you are new here, I would like for you to look around, but I will not ask you to subscribe. I hope you will, but that is not a condition for the giveaway.

You have until Sunday the 22nd at midnight (EST). Next Monday, I will announce the winning number.

Update: The giveaway has concluded, but you can still get some amazing things using this special offer:

BONUS DEAL!!! For a while, anytime you visit The Purple Pear to make a purchase, just type in “Laurel Plum” in the Message to Seller box upon checkout and you will get free shipping for your purchases! Thank you, Catherine from all of us!

End Update.
