Today’s giveaway is very special. Lisa of Ink and Button, who you may remember from this post, created a piece especially for this papernstitch giveaway. The winner will receive this “papernstitch” Berry Sorbet Bloom from Ink and Button, that can be customized as a fascinator or a pin for the winner.
More info…The “papernstitch” Bloom has a true heart for all things vintage and fashionable. This flower’s sweet and ruffly felt petals are anchored by the palest of pink buttons. Accompanying the bloom are two friendly little gray leaves accented with a delicate chain stitch. This piece will be customized with either a fascinator (ideal for use in hair) or a pin to stylishly adorn a sweater, hat, or winter coat. And, like all Ink & Button accessories, this flower has been hand-cut, hand-stitched, and lovingly assembled. The beautiful accessory is ready to join you for both casual winter days or elegant evenings out.

Anyone who knows me well would laugh out loud reading the title of this week’s Craft Venture. Who me? Stress? Truth be told, I’m a major stresser. Which means I have tried and true tips to help you with this coming holiday season!
If you’ve read Craft Venture’s entire series about preparing for the holidays – and even followed a few tips – you may have already reduced some of your potential stress!
Thanksgiving, a major holiday in U.S. (for our non-American readers) is this week! Thursday! Black Friday is the next morning, starting as early as 4:00 a.m. for hardcore shoppers looking for great deals. When does an online sale start? Whenever you want it to. I guarantee you that I will not be up at 4:00 a.m. to start up a sale; instead, my own shop specials will start the night before. When will you start your specials?
I am super excited today because, as I mentioned this morning, today is the first day of the newest exhibition. And it is the BIGGEST exhibition of the year. So many excellent shops…many brand new to papernstitch. So be sure to take a peek when you have some time to browse. I bet you’ll find at least a few things to add to your holiday list.
Visit papernstitch to view all the shops in the newest exhibition.
Today is the first day of the new exhibition. I’ll be posting about it throughout the day, but for now I thought I would share my daily favorites. For more info on the items above, click here.
