Happy FreeDay: Gift from The Yellow Warbler

This is such a cute giveaway.  The Yellow Warbler, an Etsy seller, is offering your choice of one of these two things from her shop if you win:

A Warbler’s Nest Necklace
A gold tinted nest nestling three little pearly “eggs”
OR

A Set of Five Play Bags (Bean Bags)
in your choice of fabrics, these make great toys, props for plays, and cold/hot packs!

I’d love to get some of these for Noodle to play with.  She’s really into throwing, and these would be great!  I could also “hide” them and have her find them.  Another creative use is to put them in the freezer for a cold pack (my new walker tends to get some boo-boos) or in the microwave for 30 seconds as a hot pack (for MAMA’S aches and pains!)

One of the things that popped into my head when I saw the bean bags was a memory from when I taught second grade.  I loved to use bean bags for my students that needed a little help “focusing”.  I’d give them the bean bag to handle, and it worked like magic so they could focus on the story or lesson!

Personally, in addition to the great items above I am IN LOVE with these little slippers.  I have so many babies arriving soon (friends, cousins, nieces/nephews…) and Kara at The Yellow Warbler said she may add other fabrics to her shop.  Don’t they look so toasty?

You know the drill, if you want to win then here’s the deal:

Initial Entry: Visit TheYellowWarbler and comment below with the name of something that caught your eye.  Please add the name of the pattern if it is a play bag. This entry is required before moving on to the additional entries. Also, please make sure your email address is either in your comment or in your profile.

Additional Entries: LEAVE A COMMENT FOR EACH OF THESE ADDITIONAL ENTRIES SO IT CAN BE COUNTED TOWARD THE GIVEAWAY!

  • Add TheYellowWarbler to your favorites on Etsy (if you aren’t a member, you’ll need to sign up first.)
  • Blog or twitter about this giveaway and leave a link here so we can find it!  TWO extra entries! (comment two extra times so you are counted)
  • Buy something from TheYellowWarbler within the giveaway dates– you’ll get FIVE extra entries! (comment five times if you bought something so you are counted)
  • Entering THIS giveaway gives you an EXTRA entry to the Beach Bag giveaway.  Even if you entered the ScribeOfClio giveaway, you can ALSO enter this one (then head over the the Beach Bag giveaway and comment so I know to count it!)

As always, you can find the rules here. You must be a US resident (or pay extra shipping via Paypal if you live outside the US), and the contest will end at 11:59 PM on 9/24/09. Winner will be chosen using Random.org.  Good luck!

  2. I am a follower and I think the nest necklace is fabulous. I have a small nest on a bench in the entry of my home and it reminded me of that! Great ideas!!

  3. My absolute favorite piece is the warbler nest necklace. My sister has raised birds her entire life, and my job was to hand feed the babies if the parents kicked them out too early. So bird nests have a special meaning to me!
    Thank you so much for the chance to win!

  5. My favorite are the Puppies and Sunshine play bags. What a wonderful toy! I would have loved these as a kid.

  17. Hi Carrie! Thanks for visiting my blog and inviting me over.

    I like the “Puppies & Sky” play bags; I think my little nephew would like them, especially since his “big” brother started Preschool this year and he’s got some alone time!

  22. The main thing that caught my eye was the Ladybug reversible baby shoes, but if I win, I will choose the Puppies and Sunshine – Play Bags.

  35. Well you happened to spotlight my two favorites from the store. I love the American Road Trip fabric for the play bags but the Puppies and Sky is a close second. My daughter would love those, but selfishly I think I’d have to pick the necklace if I won☺
