Today’s Chile relief giveaway is from native seller Memegalarce

Hello! Welcome to my little Etsy shop.
I am an artisan in construction; I live in Chile … the end of the world … The name of my hometown is La Ligua, from Quechua name that comes Lihua, which means wool which is woven to the house … the main economic activity in my city is the woolen fabric and the bakery elements that inspire part of my textile work … so I decided to name my knits with names of the rural towns near my hometown. I hope you enjoy the textures and the warmth of my work …
I hope you enjoy the visit and be interested in leading a part of me with you.
All the accessories you will find in this space are handmade and are part of my process of personal exploration through materials such as felt and wool.

I am a proud member of Etsy Latino Team

Here is Memgalarce’s message about Chile…
“I appreciate the invitation and interest in helping my country…the situation is still critical and I can see will not improve now that winter comes to the affected areas. I was traveling this week by the Maule region and the only thing that describes what I saw is: devastation and poverty.
I wonder which organization will channel the resources raised, as some agencies have centralized resources and areas remain unaddressed. I ask because I work in Fondo Alquimia (www.fondoalquimia.org) the only fund for women in Chile and we are also developing a fundraising campaign to come to the aid of women and their communities … because we know that is through them to rebuild solidarity networks more effectively. The people there need underwear, shoes, bed clothes, some drugs, water…building supplies”

PickleFacePlace Tie Giveaway

27 Mar, 2010 by in etsy, free stuff, pickle face place, ties 18 comments


Today’s Etsy shop feature is one of my amazing friends…PickleFacePlace!
“After scouring stores for cute boy things, and not finding what I wanted, I decided to start making my own ties out of the fabrics I loved! My little pickle now has enough ties to last the rest of his life, and I’m passing my obsession on to you!”

Welcome to the Grand Opening of PickleFace Place!
Created by a mother who knows, we offer these uniquely combined features that deal with the challenges you’ve faced in trying to find the perfect tie for your little guy!

1. THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
PickleFace Place ties are handmade with an adjustable Velcro closure for easy-on/easy-off. (A must, for wriggly, squiggly boys!) No clip-ons that droop, break, or fall off easily; no elastic that stretches out; and no full ties that can function as a cinch, posing a safety issue for busy, curious little boys.
2. MAJOR STYLE
PickleFace Place ties LOOK like full ties! Our straps are made from the same material as the tie itself, and each knot is tied perfectly for a tight, clean, crisp look. No more sloppy looking ties or re-tying after he wiggles himself out of it. These ties are made to stay put! We’re also always on the lookout for great new fabrics that will keep your boys looking dapper through all seasons and holidays!
3. EASY CARE
PickleFace Place ties are…….…wait for it……….wait for it………..WASHABLE!! Seriously. Because what little boy do you know that actually keeps his clothes clean? Unlike other ties that use felt inserts, we use Pellon fleece, which is machine washable and won’t shrink. We thought you’d like that.
4. HIGHER STANDARD
PickleFace Place offers FIVE standard sizes, offering a better fit for all your growing boy’s needs.

Madame Scodioli Geek Scrub

26 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, free stuff, madame scodioli soap 39 comments

Today’s etsy shop giveaway is from seller Madame Scodioli. I am a seeker of all things bath and body. So of course I love her little tins of fragrance and handmade vegan soaps.
The one posted above is Hierophant: Hierophant’s purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. This crisp, clean blend of sweetgrass and aromatic sage with supporting notes of bergamot, geranium and amber will do just that. A mystifying scent.
Contains beeswax, jojoba, vitamin E oil and fragrance.
Approx. 1.0 oz.
Screw-top container.

After the gates close and all is quiet on the midway, Madame S. retires to her wagon and spends her evenings sewing, crafting and making soap for the rest of the performers.Her soap and perfume are crafted from highest quality ingredients, always tested personally by her and the rest of the troupe.

And our giveaway looks heavenly. I’m not a coffee drinker myself, but every time I drive up to Starbucks to get my cocoa I admit I take a big whiff. LOVE the smell. So this is perfect for those of us trying to embrace our inner geek!
