Everyone loves a Giveaway!

Sew, Mama, Sew! is hosting another Giveaway Day! Last time, in May, I really enjoyed looking at everyone's blogs and shops and seeing what was offered. I even won something! I should have mentioned it sooner, but I won something really cool from Pins & Thimbles. Anne was great to work with, she used my Echino fabric and turned it into the custom wrist wallet you see below.


(I love this idea so much, btw, you just slip on what looks like a cuff, but inside you can stash some cash and a key. Great for a quick trip out of the house. I keep mine handy by the door for when I need it.) Anyway, I'm not giving that away. It's all mine! If you want your own, go check out Pins & Thimbles on Etsy.

But, without further ado, here's the Giveaway loot I have to offer! Since I love both crafting and handmade goods, I'm giving away a combo. In the supplies category, I'm including one yard of fabric. It's Lizzy House, Red Letter Day, Pearl Bracelet, Feather. I did wash it when I first bought it, then folded it up and didn't ever use it -- I was on an orange kick, but ended up choosing a different shade for my project. I hope someone out there will love it and put it to good use!


In the handmade goods category, I've crafted a little tea bag wallet. I used Heather Ross West Hill fabric with horses and flowers. You can put a few tea bags in the pockets and you are good to go. (It would make a really nice gift, too, perhaps wrapped up with a pretty teacup or mug.) I really love the button for the closure, it's a super-cute vintage horse button!














So, wanna win? ;-) All you have to do is leave me a comment, letting me know what your favorite tea is. Around December 6th I will choose a winner at random and send off the goodies. (Please note I am only shipping in the US.)

Thanks for looking. Happy Giveaway Day!

ilovebabyquilts said...

Oh my gosh, what great prizes! I love HR and I love red letter day! Thanks so much for the chance. I love chai tea. I'm a "spicy" person I guess. In perfume I always pick the spicy smells.

Sharon@LoftyQuilts.com said...

Now that it is cold out, I have Lady Grey in the morning and Jasmine green tea in the afternoon.

e.c said...

This is perfect. I just used all my pearl bracelet on a purse for my lil sis. Your tea wallet is cute too. Thanks!
My favorite tea is Earl Grey. Boring but I love the burgamot with lady fingers to dip in it.

Lise said...

My favorite tea is "Licorice Spice" by Stash. Mmmm!!! But I'm trying to wean myself as part of my attempts to eat more locally. This year, I'm making my own herbal teas. (Luckily, I still have a stash of my Stash...) Thank you for the chance to win!

Fowl Single File said...

My favorite is jasmine tea and a little packet of it would fit so nicely in that tea wallet! If I don't win I'll just have to make one for myself because it's such a fabulous idea. Thanks!

Thistle Cove Farm said...

Lady Gray...always!

lisapeaceandlove said...

Though not a tea drinker, I love the smell of Earl Grey tea. It brings back memories of my mom, my aunts and my grandmother sitting around the kitchen table, all drinking Earl Grey, which was saved for special occasions, and talking about a lot of relatives that I had never met. I keep it on hand now to scent the cupboards!

calicodaisy said...

Does Diet Coke come in tea bags??? I'm a DC drinker and a fabric lover, especially the Lizzie House! However, if I have to choose, I like that Mango Ceylon I find at Starbucks.

Morgan said...

I made my mom a tea wallet for Christmas but this one is way cuter! Love the fabric too.

Mrs. Fix said...

My favorite tea is Twinings Lady Grey. OH! And Hot Cinnamon Sunset -- made by the company that sells at Barnes and Noble. Yummy!

Thanks for doing this giveaway!

Nicole said...

love this! i heart chamomile, it doesn't get better than cozy and mellow for me. :)

CMEH said...

My favorite tea at the moment is calming tea from yogi tea.... I am also enjoying their royal vitality... I am trying to break the soda habit and maybe going a little overboard with yogi teas.... but it is working...
your work looks WONDERFUL!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

Stevens Family said...

I have loved looking through your blog. You have some fabulous talent.
I like peppermint tea. I love that orange fabric! I feel inspired to make an orange quilt.

ILuvBNaMom said...

Oh the tea wallet is so cute - and the fabric! My favorite type of tea is French Vanilla. Though, I just purchased the decaf version and it is just not the same - I was trying to be a good nursing mommy, but I think I'm going to have to go back to the regular French Vanilla. I bit of caffeine won't hurt my Lil' Cherub too much!

Breanna S. said...

cranberry pomegranite green tea is my new favorite!

Danielle said...

favorite tea: I love rhobious teas. a good red tea is always yummy. I'm really into loose leaf at home though. but when I'm out and about I love a good decaf chai or even twinings orange honeybush. mmmm.

Rachael C said...

I'm a fan of Earl Grey. My uncle complains because he sometimes runs out of Earl Grey, and it's usually my fault.

Katie said...

My favorite tea is tropical green tea and it's made by a particular company, but I can't remember who and I just finished off my box last week. But it's got a nice white background on the box and the tea bags are in a plastic container in the box.

Lori said...

What a generous giveaway! Love the fabric. I actually don't drink tea, but I love the wallet anyway!

Liz B. said...

The little tea wallet is adorable! My favorite tea is Tetley's British Blend. My roomate in college was from Scotland and her mother mailed her Tetley tea from Britain, which I loved, and which I later found was not the same as Tetley in the states! Not long after my supermarket began carrying "British Blend" which did the trick. Pretty boring, I know, but I'm a fan of a good, solid tea :)
Thanks for the chance at your giveaway!

Urban Crunch said...

I love orange fabric. I am trying to stash enough for a giant orange quilt.

My favorite tea is a honey green tea I forget the brand but it comes in those cylindrical tins and I'm forever searching for the perfect cinnamon tea.

Thanks for the giveaway!

I love Throat Coat tea -- for the flavor, not just its throat soothing properties. The slippery elm that makes it so yummy! My other favorites are ginger and peppermint.

Brittany said...

Does herbal tea count? A friend once bought me some peppermint herbal tea to help soothe my headaches. I don't know if it helped my headaches, but it sure was good!

I love this giveaway! Thank you for doing it.

Holly said...

My favorite tea of the moment is Lemon Lift. I love lemon tea in general, but only black tea; I don't like herbal. Another favorite is Darjeeling. I have some trouble with tea, though...I like to have a cup of tea at night after my kiddos are tucked in, but I can't have caffeine so late - keeps me awake for hours! And many of my favorite teas don't come in decaf. Sad.

mmperdue said...

What a wonderful wallet! I drink tea every afternoon and always lose it in the deep crevasse of my purse... I love jasmine green tea during the day and peppermint after dinner. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

Freda said...

My favorite tea is sweet tea. Of course being raised in NC I wouldn't have it any other way!

♥Lola said...
