To make the getaway all the sweeter for our attendees, we had heart-y gift packages waiting. Each was chock full of goodies that fit the season and theme of our event.
And we have one extra for you!
Our sponsors were incredibly generous! Meleen and I thank each and every one for their beautiful work and generosity. Just the best.
The giveaway bag includes a copy of Taproot magazine, a quarterly magazine that celebrates food, family, farm and craft. This favorite issue features my "North Woods" hooked rug design and article.
An adorable handmade and hand-painted heart pin from Noodle and Lou! Jenn also sent several darling art prints for door prizes.
A fabulous handmade wood sign from Barn Owl Primitives. We love all her signs.
A unique LOVE ornament and card holder handcrafted by Alan Clark from Whimsy Antiques. It's made from local driftwood and found objects off the beach in Carpinteria, CA.
A handmade felt flower pin and a super-cute kit to make one of your own from Marcie Cuff. Marcie has a wonderful new book coming out this spring, This Book Used to Be a Tree. Put it on your wish list!
Pam Garrison's latest acrylic stamp set and her frame-worthy postcards. SWAK!
Pretty letterpress cards from Hope Wallace at Paper Relics.
A signed valentine from none other than Mary Engelbreit!
All these treats will be bundled into a hand-painted and decorated package and sent to one lucky winner. (sorry, U.S. only.) Could it be you?
To enter, please leave a comment on this post only. The winner will be chosen on Valentine's Day!
*********
Additional event sponsors include The Ruggery who provided gorgeous materials for our rug hooking project, Andrea Singarella who donated a lovely pair of earrings for a door prize and Wing and a Prayer Farm. Farmer Tammy came and demonstrated felted soap-making and also delivered all our farm fresh eggs, pies and scones.
Please visit the websites or shops for our sponsors. We couldn't have done it without them!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
