Win This!!

The Contest is now closed and we will be announcing a winner later today (March 15)



And this!! (sorry not the doll,just the coat that would be a little too exciting wouldnt it?)



Who doesn't like to win stuff I ask???

Leave a comment on this post, and you will be entered to win one of the Wood Clinic's wood toy sewing machines, made by my very own HNH. They truly are beautiful things...he even makes them for Christina's amazing dolls, sew cute!




You will also be entered to win one of my very own Elf Coats for your 14"-16" Bamboletta Doll.

We will draw for a winner on Sunday March 15. In this contest everyone wins, if you don't win the sewing machine and the elf coat...but have left a comment on this post.. Mike (HNH) will take $5.00 off any machine you buy in his shop and I will give you 10% off anything in my shop, both offers valid until March 30. Please remember to leave a way for me to get intouch with you if you win! I have noticed alot of people have entered "anonymously" with no email...if "anonymous" wins...you don't win...I don't know who you are:)

I feel like a winner all the time having the likes of Christina and Mike in my life..they're awesome!

Maybe if my kids learned how to sew, I would be inspired to learn how to sew... is that just wishful thinking???

Amazing work Constance and Mike! I think my daughter would LOVE to sew next to me with her own little machine. hee hee, very sweet! And of course, our winter here in Ontario is still going strong... so her Bamboletta would really warm up in your Elf Coat! It's just ADORABLE!

I thought I already left a comment earlier, but I cant see it now. So I'm not trying to enter twice! Just wanted to say I think these sewing machines are just about the most beautiful child's toy I have ever seen. I can just imagine a little sewing corner set up just like mini kitchen corner so the children can practise there own creative pursuits, along with cotton reels and squares of fabric to play with. So adorable. and the coat too! such an inspiring family, it must be lots of fun at your house..
p.s. as I am O/S am sooo happy to pay for postage should we be lucky enough to win!
