etsy giveaway: second party

June 10th, 2008 at 7:18 am . Posted in contest, etsy adore, giveaway .

Some of you know of my new found obsession with all things Etsy. I’m kind of obsessed and spend my free internet time finding new things to spend money I don’t really have. Also, I have been featuring some of my favorite Etsy shops here and there on this adorable little blog. Some of the packages I have sent out to bloggy friends have had stuff from Etsy in them as well. We are all about Etsy here at Oh! How Lovely!

Anyway, I teamed up with a lovely new shop on Etsy. Megan and Katie are from Austin, Texas and have a love of all things design and paper and so Second Party was born! Not only am I featuring them, but they are giving away a gift!

They have some really cute stuff up like these note cards.

If those don’t tickle your fancy, there is much more!

Starting today, you will get a chance to own some of Second Party’s lovely work! All you have to do is leave a comment by Friday of what your favorite item is from their shop. That’s it! Pretty easy, right?

We will randomly choose one winner to receive the item they like best on Friday. I will forward your information to girls of Second Party and they will get your prize right out to you.

Get started. Go check out their shop and pick out your favorite item. Once you do that, come back and comment and you’re in!

    Filling my Etsy wish list with things I don’t have money for is a favorite pass time of mine as well.

    Cool! I heart Etsy. I like the chandelier cards. It looks just like the chandelier motif that one of the women on Weddingbee was using for her wedding. I loved it there too.

    Thanks – I love when people feature their etsy finds because I find etsy rather like ebay these days – overwhelming with too much stuff unless I am looking for something specific. Cute cards! I like the ones you featured.

    KangarooOOOOOooo!! I love Etsy too! I have bought two pieces of jewelry from etsy (so far) and I am totally in love with both of them. It’s dangerous when I start browsing sellers though… $$$$$

    Did someone buy the ducks? or am I just an idiot? I love the kangaroos, but my favorites are the flat cards with branches. Now to browse etsy and drool.

    Definitely the ducky flat cards. Because I need to spruce up my letters back home, instead of tacky (but loveable) English postcards!!! ;)

    I love the set of kangaroo cards.

    They are incredibly creative. They incorporate two items you wouldn’t necessarily see paired on a card, and turn it into a simple and beautiful item.

    I might just have to pick up a set of those.

    Cool finds on Etsy!

    I love the personalized chandelier cards! Gorgeous. :)

    I love Etsy too, although I haven’t bought anything off it yet. I was mostly browsing journals/notebooks at the time, and then wanted to make one of my own but haven’t really gotten around to doing it yet. haha (Partly b/c I don’t even know what design I would wanna do!)

    <3 handmade things :)
