a giveaway, a fawn, and glow bug softies

2010 November 25
by 5 Orange Potatoes

I have some new critters in the shop today.

My newest design, a little shy fawn- oh, how I love her!

Sunny Hedgehog (large version)-

Glow bugs- their little white bellies glow in the dark. They are the perfect size for stockings!

Dragonflies-

And Mumpsy Monsters-

I am still paying for the shipping in the 5 Orange Potatoes Etsy shop. All items ordered through my etsy shop will arrive in a free drawstring bag made from vintage sheets.

As a thank you on this USA Thanksgiving day I’m having a GIVEAWAY- I will give away a new glow bug and a hootenanny to someone that leaves a comment below. The giveaway closes Sunday night.

Happy Thanksgiving! Don’t forget to check out my Etsy shop and keep my critters in mind as fun holiday gifts.

“That’s all.”

    Hi! I recently found your site and was just so inspired by your crafts that it has made me pull out my sewing machine and get busy! With the economy the way it is we’ve had to make many cut backs, as I know many people have, and your site has had me remembering how things were when I was growing up. When my mom made me clothes and gifts were truly gifts, not something expected. So this year I am teaching my own kids how to create meaningful gifts that people will actually use, but with minimal expense. Thank you so much for reawakening the “Martha Stewart” in me and salvaging our holidays! :-)
