Daisy Cutter slouchy beret in Pewter

In celebration of my 100th post, I am giving away this Daisy Cutter slouchy beret in Pewter.

55% Super Fine Alpaca, 23% Silk, 22% Merino Wool. Gorgeous, lovely pewter grey with a slight sheen (from the silk!). The change of seasons is approaching! Keep your head warm with this new stylish beret design. Kissing cables twine & twist around your pretty little head.

Will Fit Most. Hand wash in cool water, no dryer. Lay flat (circle side up) to dry. New materials. Luxury yarn with all-natural fibers. Lying flat, diameter of the circle measures 10 inches. Also, lying flat but in profile, the brimming/band measures 7.5 inches & 8 inches from band to crown. Tiny pink & cream cupcake hand-embroidered on brim.

In order to enter, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post with your email telling me what kind of colors and products (the sky’s the limit!) you would most like to see in my etsy shop. The deadline for all entries is midnight on Friday, September 4, 2009 (Central Standard Time). Unfortunately, this contest is limited to the United States. Hopefully, in the future, I’ll be able to open it up to international cupcakers as well. One winner will be chosen at random, and I’ll contact you via email if you’re a lucky winner!

Spread the word! <3

It’s been a very long time since I used any charcoal. Quick, quick. 5 minute sketch.

Tonal Tuesday: Humble Fiber

Humble Fiber. Warm, organic, autumn. Raking leaves in the front yard. Cups of tea on the back porch.

friday5: week 14

Friday5: Week 14.
Squinty eyes this week. Hopefully this weekend will provide some time to recoup myself and defrost the brainglaze that came with too many late nights filled with massive amounts of productivity. Happy Friday all! <3

rottencupcakes

• Massive Shop Update
• Busting my buns on rottencupcakes. Seriously. It’s difficult for me to contain my excitement. I now have postcards, real business cards and last but not least: 1-inch buttons! Every purchase from the etsy shop is accompanied with a free button and most likely, a few other goodies that I gather up.
• Facebook! & people that I don’t know at all becoming fans!
• Arnold Palmers (ice tea + lemonade). I could drink gallons of the stuff.
• My wonderful husband and his big huge brain.

Honorable mentions: bicyclelove, homemade heart-shaped waffles on sundays, all of my so-called life on hulu, so many ideas, hopes, scheming, travel plans that involve snorkeling.

What’s tooting your horn this week?
