Freebie Alert: Gotta Hand It to You — Top Hand Care Finds

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Thanks to random.org, we’ve got a Merry (belated) Christmas prize going out to… Kristin Aune (who made t-shirts for both of her kids, ornaments, buckeyes and has been trying to perfect her fudge pie recipe). Congrats!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. Between family time, a tight book deadline, and priming and painting our kitchen cabinets, we’re sharing one quick post each day this week. After visiting our local Handmade Holiday craft fair, we put together a special giveaway featuring a selection of handmade goods from talented makers. The winner will receive the following:

  • An 8×10 letterpress print (winner’s choice of quote and color), a set of blueprint notes (airplane, boat, golf cart, knots, wave, or lighthouse), and a leather blank book from Almanac Industries. These Baltimore-based bookbinders and letterpress artists offer a lovely worn, masculine aesthetic.
  • $50 credit to Funnel Cloud Studio on Etsy to spend on Virginia-themed art, patterned prints, or playful illustrations.
  • A 26-letter ornament set and a green vase from Turnerbots — a full alphabet of candy-colored ceramic initials plus a tasteful vase.
  • $50 credit to Zou Zou’s Basement on Etsy, enough to pick up a couple of colorful prints like the bunny print we purchased and loved.
