Welcome to the second Hump Day Give-A-Way here at Life With The Crew! I am offering two very different items this week - if you win, you only get to pick one.
The first item is a pair of coasters/trivets that are handmade by my brother, the talented carpenter. They are made of leftover pieces of wood from his various other carpentry projects and they are sealed with a food safe mineral wax. While he works as a carpenter as his day job, he also makes mirrors, picture frames, and cutting boards, mostly out of reclaimed wood. He is almost finished building a custom closet system in my daughter's room, which includes a built-in window seat. Pictures to come when it is complete! I have been encouraging him to open an Etsy shop, so hopefully this first offical internet debut will push him into it. What do you think?
The second item is a handmade stuffed "Wonky Owl" toy made by me. It is made with new 100% cotton fabric and stuffed with cotton batting. It has two side taggies that are elastic. The eyes and nose are hand sewn on, so I would recommend hand washing it just to be safe. I made one for my little babe and keep it on the changing table (which is really just the top of the washing machine) so that her hands are occupied when I'm changing her.
If you are interested in winning either of these items, all you have to do is leave a comment below. The contest will close at 7am on Thursday. I'll assign a number to each comment and then draw one out of a hat (or dog bowl). I'll announce the winner by noon on Thursday. Since the wood coasters are pretty heavy, if the winner lives outside of the United States, I will ask them to split the shipping cost. CONTEST CLOSED
