giveaway and etsy

2010 March 1
by 5 Orange Potatoes

Finally opened my Etsy shop last week; had to do something to fill the blog void! The shop name is the same as the blog……5 Orange Potatoes, have a visit and tell me what you think! Peep, pictured below,  is my little dainty lady that doesn’t leave her basket without her vintage bow!

If you should purchase from my shop you will receive your little softy in a drawstring bag made from vintage sheets and fabric.

So far I have sold 3 Hootenannies- 1 went to Alaska, 1 to Pennsylvania, and 1 to Chicago. The Hootenannies are out to put smiles in the world! :)  A Get-Well Gremlin has also been shipped to Pennsylvania just today!

***A little incentive here to visit……..visit the shop by clicking here, tell me which one you like the best and it could be yours if you win; be sure to come back here and tell me which one you like the best! :) You have until Thursday night to comment, I’ll announce the winner on Friday! Anyone from anywhere can enter!

***Also, the “rhythm of the home” spring edition is up today! Visit my contribution about wishing rocks here.

    Too hard to pick just one favorite, but I love the garbo hootenanny owl. It is great that you have an etsy shop now–I wish you much success. I am also glad that your blog is back up.

  34. March 2, 2010

    Oops! Forgot to tell you which one I like!

    I adore the Evergreen Hootenanny :) And I like the name hootenanny. When I was 2 (the year my pawpaw died) he would take me every evening I was over there to the creek behind their house to see the “hoot owls.” Makes me think of him. :)

  35. March 2, 2010

    **applause and fanfare** Yay! Congrats and good luck with the Etsy shop! Totally cute stuff.

    Are you planning on putting other things on there, like some of your mom’s goods on there, like her sweater bags? I’m on a massive bag kick, lately. Or does she have a shop of her own? Or is this strictly a Softy Store?

  36. March 2, 2010

    Oh they are all so cute, but Mr.Smith is my favorite! Glad your shop is up & running : )

  37. March 2, 2010

    Congrats on opening up your store! How exciting!!! :)

    I just love Lady Lou Owl. She’d look soooo cute in the basket from the Easter Bunny for my 5 year old!

  42. March 2, 2010

    oh ya, and I forgot to mention that I really like the lady owls, Peep and Lou! Thank you!!

  43. March 2, 2010

    Congratulations on your shop! Its looks great! I love the little bags, what a precious touch. I would consider that buying two gifts, one animal for my child, one bag for me!
