Super Awesome Anniversary Giveaway & Sale

Well, that's quite enough stalling from me. With my blog's first anniversary fast approaching and my third year on etsy next month, now is the time for my big event! This event is just my way of saying thank you to everyone who has visited, read my ramblings and offered their opinions and whatnot. I've decided to go with a two pronged attack to the event.

The first prong is a SALE. Now don't get too excited, it's just a small one. My entire inventory is on sale 15% off until my anniversary on March 17th. This sale will NOT be noted at my shop, it is only for those of you who visit my blog as a thank you for all your help and support. You must mention "anniversary" in the notes to seller to receive the discount which will be refunded after you pay through paypal. If you forget to mention the sale, you don't get the discount, simple as a dimple.

The second prong is a GIVEAWAY and I've decided to take a slightly different approach to the standard blog giveaway, but let me first lay down the entry options for this sucker.

The Rules:
-Visit my etsy shop and peruse my tatted offerings.
-Pick your favorite item from the shop and then come back here to this blog post, and leave a comment telling me about what you liked (if you can't find anything perhaps this giveaway is not for you.)
-Your comment profile must include contact information, if it doesn't be sure to leave a valid email address in your comment or your entry is void.(if I can't tell you that you won, what good is entering)

Want more chances to win...well, I've got a few

-For an additional entry, tweet this giveaway, then leave a comment with a link to your tweet (you can follow me on twitter too...if you want)

-For another additional entry, blog about this giveaway and sale on your own blog (complete with links and pictures), and come back and leave a link to your post.

-Finally for two entries, buy something from me (don't forget the sale!) and come back and comment with your purchase. (this is the flagrant self promotion portion of the event)

-This contest is open to residents of the Earth only, seriously all humans welcome, aliens not so much.

-Contest ends on Tuesday March 17th. Winners will be announced by that Friday.

Did I say winners... plural? Yes, I did. Here's where my giveaway is a bit different. You see, I always found it a bit anti productive to plug someone else's giveaway thus reducing my chances of winning. What if, however, more entrants meant more prizes? Here's my solution, for every 30 unique individuals entering another prize will be added to the list. So if 31 people enter, I will add a second prize, 61 a third and if by some chance 91 or more people enter a fourth and final prize.

I know these sound like extremely ambitious numbers given my average blog traffic and that is the whole point. The more people enter, the better the prizes are for everyone so I'm hoping that this is the proper incentive for a bit of a viral effect, I guess we'll see. Oh, right the prizes...

First up is a Fully Bloomed pendant in any color of the winners choice. This is the only guaranteed prize.

With entrant number 31, I will add the Viva La Reine necklace to the pot.





With entrant number 61, a pair of The Queen's Feet barefoot sandals are included.








The last prize will only be added if 91 or more unique individuals enter the giveaway and it's a good one, a pair of In Bloom Ankle Corsets!
So that's it, remember the more people that enter the better the prizes get and this is not counting the extra entries each person can get, just actual people. If you want a chance at all four, you best help me spread the word about the sale and giveaway. I will make an announcement every time a new prize level has been achieved. You only have just over a week, so you better get on it!

***More prizes will be added, every 30 entries another In Bloom pendant will go into the prize pool***

  1. So hard as I would love everything! But, I love Queens's Feet: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21614135

    With summer coming (in my mind at least) I would love these.

  2. Just retweeted also, you should get a copy I believe. :)

  3. Wow, so tough to choose a favorite of yours! You have such unique and amazing creations. It'd be a dream to wear one of your masks to a masquerade ball, especially A Kind Of Pale Jewel: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20940605

  5. Totally love the masks, but my favorite is the awesome Order of Ecclesia collar: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18844567
    It makes me happy. Good luck with the contest!

  6. I am having the same trouble picking just *one* thing that I love. But I have to say The Countess Was Victorious won out over the others.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I love the black Victoriana necklace. The crystal in the middle is so pretty. It was fun perusing your shop. I'm already a follower of your blog. :)

  9. What a grand social experiment! Can't wait to watch the results.

    It's a firm tie for my favorite pretty in your shop - The Countess Was Victorious choker and the Order of Ecclesia collar.

    And I just tweeted!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Of course I had to enter!

    I love it all, but I LOVE The Countess Was Victorious. I little sparkle is always a good thing!

  11. Congrats, your submission made it on Etsy-Swag! We tweeted away.

    Oh and our favorite can be found here is the Quadra Tatted Bracelet!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I really like the "Happiness in Slavery" bracelet. I'd like to wear it while playing my cello in concert! The slave theme totally fits, since I'm an amatuer cellist and I don't get paid, LOL.

    Your things are all so creatively elegant!

    ReplyDelete
  13. tough to choose just 1. Have to go with A Kind Of Pale Jewel.

    ReplyDelete
  14. They're all so beautiful! I must say my favorite is a necklace called Portrait of an Elegant Lady.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Your work is Beautiful!
    I'm now following you blog and twitter :)

  16. I like the Grand Daisy Tatted Scarf.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The Queen's Feet are my current favorite! I just love my green ones, they look so awesome on :D

    I also Twittered this!

  18. Hi Pam! What an amazing giveaway. You really know how to go all out. Plus, I love the new contest parameters; usually, I'll only reluctantly re-tweet or blog, knowing that it diminishes my chances. Now, I'll more than happily do so. Wait: I would happily for you anyway, but even more happily now. Hope that makes sense.

    My favorite in your shop would have to be your In Bloom Ankle Corsets. They are truly sublime. Your new footwear line will be this season's tatted mask.

    I love how you constantly reinvent your products while keeping true to what you do best.

    I'll re-tweet and blog later, when my kids aren't systematically destroying the carefully staged home I'm trying desperately to sell.

    ReplyDelete
  19. My favorite items in your gorgeous shop are the ankle corsets. i love them because they remind me a the henna designs I got when I was in Morocco. The six pointed star design also reminds me of the decorative lattice plasterwork in building in North Africa. It made me very happy to look at them.

    I'll go and tweet about your anniversary festivities now!

    (i think my profile has an email address, but if I were lucky enough to win you can reach me at mananaenabasto@gmail.com )

  20. "Ladies Who Lunch in Winter" is my favorite piece of the moment. The color is beautiful and I can't imagine tatting merino. Wow.

    I also tweeted at https://twitter.com/beckarahn

    ReplyDelete
  21. I tweeted about it (we follow each other, so hopefully you'll see the tweet. Baby woke up so I'm typing w/one hand)

    Will blog when I can!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Happy bloggiversary :)

    It's kind of hard to say what my overall favourite of your items is - mostly I just enjoy your style and seeing what you come up with next. My overall favourite at the moment is probably the Babe with the Power mask, partly for the title, partly for its cuteness. But the item in your shop I'd be most likely to buy would be the Flower Garland choker. As gorgeous as the masks are, that choker would be much more wearable for me. Also, it's pretty, it's cute, and I like the way the flowers are formed.

    Tweeted the giveaway here.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Definitely the Bloom Ankle Corsets are my fav... Oh, I retweeted as well: http://twitter.com/MCrites/status/1302757589

    ReplyDelete
  24. Love them all, But my pick would half to be the Portrait of an Elegant Bride.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Super giveaway concept, indeed! If I ever host one, I'm definitely going to have a "growing prize" option, too!

    My favourite in your shop is the black flower garland: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21099974

    My very favourite item, though, is a sold item - it's called white wedding: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=5504806

    If I win, you can convo me at my Etsy shop - SomewhatHip.

  28. This I will gladly kill or kiss for:

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21614135

    I am fantasizing about wearing these with some killer heels... I have a fierce shoe fetish, however with minimal space my rule is to keep the numbers few but extraordinary. Let's just say I can think of many opportunities for these to strut their stuff in public!

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21614135

    *oogles again*

    That's it - whether I win or not, I'm pimping the shit out of them. Twitter, Facebook, My Blog, my MySpace... they are too cool and with my birthday coming up March 30th, it will direct everyone I know to your store *wink*

    We loves these, don't we precious? *stroke* *stroke*

    Ps - I wear size 10 *wiggles eyebrows*

    Good luck all! But if you win, watch your back!

    *coughs up a furball*

    + tweet!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have noticed your etsy shop previously, very bold statements of tatting works. Yep, hard to decide which I like best, but I really like the way the clasp is worn in front for the Ladies Who Lunch in Winter.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I tweeted your contest~ have always loved your work, remember the necklace we had published in Belle Armoire? very cool. twitter.com/kiraslye

  37. Oh, I love the chocolate square pendant one!

  38. Hi Mel! It's really nice the giveaway. All your tatting is marvelous. I'll blog about it in a few minutes. Twitt you already. :-)

    I fall in love with this one but all the things in your shop are so pretty! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11059858

    ReplyDelete
  39. my current favorite item in your shop is your in bloom ankle corsets

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21652648&ref=em

    I think they are really sexy in a playful and vintage sort of way, they also remind me of henna bridal tattoos.

  40. It's an hard choice...i love very much the masks and the ankle corsets...i choose "A kind of pale jewel" :)

    I have also twitted ^^

    ReplyDelete
  41. Love your work! It was hard to pick just one thing that I liked, but...
    Gothic Princess in Pink is fabulous!
    Fantastic giveaway btw!

    ReplyDelete
  42. What a fab giveaway! I just love the Queen's feet… I like going barefoot in the summer and these would be so cool!

    I shall tweet this too!

    ReplyDelete
  43. WOW, great giveaway!

    My favourite would be Valentine Evenings. To be honest I haven't really tatted much at all in the last 4 years what with one thing and another. Every time I see one of your masks (and given that I see one every day in your twitter feed) it inspires me to finally learn to needle tat. In many ways you've given me back a hobby that I had lost so regardless of the comp I really have to say thank-you!

    ReplyDelete
  46. So technically, I am human, but I'm from the future. Can I still enter? Well I'm going to anyway! I really like "The Countess was Victorious", http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15708160 I'm not a big jewelry person, but I love a saucy necklace and this is certainly it. Bold, all gothed out and ready to make a statement. Just like me!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I really love the Queen's feet. I had a beaded pair for the longest time when I was younger and wore them out!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I love the "The Countess Was Victorious" choker - I think it just looks stunning.

    You are a very talented lady - keep doing what you do best.

    ReplyDelete
  49. your stuff is gorgeous! WOW.

    i love the art deco pendant, myself, but i'm eyeing a bunch of your other listings for my gothy-fashionable best friend. :)

    i'll be blogging about this soon...i'll post the address once it's finished.

    ReplyDelete
  50. It was tough to choose just one, all your work is so beautiful. I keep coming back to "Down In The Underground" so it must be my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi. I've never seen your site before, but a friend of mine posted your contests so I followed the link. I have to say that your stuff is very unique. I like the simple items the best. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21657931 I love the clean lines and simplicity of the pattern. Very good job. I can see myself picking up a few of your items.

  52. With all of these gorgeous pieces, how could I NOT enter? I found you through a twitter re-tweet and tweeted you myself for an entry: http://twitter.com/craftyasparagus/status/1306857918. (I'm also following you on twitter now.)

    And, of course, because your items are awesome, I'll pick a favorite for another entry: The barefoot sandles (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21614135). They're really bold, and as someone who loves to go barefoot, they're something I'd wear to feel sexy, outside in summer or, ahem, inside for other reasons.

    To blog about your sale may take some time, but your items really are gorgeous and you've got tons of positive feedback on Etsy. Hopefully I can get a good post out before the seventeenth!

    Lastly, my email address is jen [at!] awakenedaesthetic.com. :) Best of luck - I hope you get lots of new readers and sales from the anniversary!

  53. I'm obsessed with this item: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17288448 (Portrait of an Elegant Bride). Stunning.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Oh, golly. You are incredibly talented. Out of all that incredible beauty, though, the thing that grabbed me most was the plain black Tiny Tatted Triangle. It's just such a precious little treasure that I just bet feels really tactilely wonderful.

  62. Hello! I have just twittered about the giveaway! Just about to peruse your shop and choose my favourite. :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. I love everything in your etsy shop! But i guess my favorite is the Victorian lace cuffs...because they are so wearable, short or long sleeves, for fun or to dress something up. They are very feminine and would make any woman feel fabulous...if i was still young enough, i would head right for the ankle corsets...but i feel like my legs are too fat...wear them while you can!

  65. My favourite has to be the Victorian Cuffs:

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16751812

    Just beautiful. I would have done anything to have those back in my olde goth days. And I would love to wear them now! The Queens feet came a very close second. :)

  67. Daisy Tatted Cuffs are my final choice, but I did like the red Victorian lace cuffs too. They are both beautiful, but the daisy tatted cuffs could be worn with just about anything to add a bit of feminity to an outfit. Beautiful work!
    from one needletatter to another...Happy Tatting!!! Linda :O)

  68. Wow! Tons of entrants since this morning. I have had Gothic Princess hearted in my favorites for some time now. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21745152

    I seriously love your entire store.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I like the happiness in slavery bracelet http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18792460

    Why? Because I think it's be very pretty with swarovski heliotrope rhinestones sewn onto it following the pattern of the tatting. It's so open it would be much more airy than my previous experiments in sewing rhinestones onto lace: http://lilibat.deviantart.com/art/Sparkling-Frozen-Shadow-80205322

    ReplyDelete
  70. I wasn't going to enter this as I rarely wear tatted jewelry. Even though I secretly covet many of your pieces, I thought I'd probably just sit around and admire or - I could give it as a wonderful gift. But then I went to your shop, which I had not ever visited, and saw Seven Silver Diamonds, which I really really like, and then Victoriana Wedding Set, which I also really really like, so ...well, I just had to say so!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I love it all! I would enjoy wearing it all, though my feet aren't very attractive (maybe they would be wearing your models.)I have been admiring your designing modern, edgy accessories. I enjoy shuttle tatting, but haven't tried this.
    Keep on doing- you have created a unique niche.

  72. Ladies who Lunch, I think:) I love your masks of course and the Throat Corset and one of your goth necklaces caught me too-- but I think my fave is Ladies who Lunch in black. I so wear that to tea:)

  74. Wow! What a generous giveaway - it't a toughy to choose a favourite but I've narrowed it down to the Gothic cameo lace choker and the Ladies who lunch necklace. Now the Gothic cameo is so elegant and a little bit dangerous, and the Ladies who lunch is deciding whether to be "come hither" or "I'm too good for you"....See, it's very difficult. I'm going to go with "ladies who lunch" for my favourite this time - the title is so cheeky too.

    I really love your work - I've tried the teenist bit of tatting but found it very hard to learn.
    Cheers.

  81. -Pick your favorite item from the shop: I adore the Victorian Lace Cuffs (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16751812, although brown would suit my wardrobe best)! They're elegant, and since I often wear corsetry alone or with a short-sleeved shrug, I like that they can adorn the wrists without wearing a long sleeves.

  96. Is it cheating for my favorite to be what I already own? The orange grand daisy tatted scarf http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11059858 ! hehe.

    If it is then my next favorite is the Order Of Ecclesia - Tatted Victorian Collar. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18844567

  102. My Favorite is Fleurette. I enjoy this piece because it is simple enough to wear to work but would also look great as accessory for a night out! I also enjoy the variety in the stitch styles used in the main piece and the chain.

  113. Aaaaand I forgot to say which of your artwork that I loved the best. *sigh*
    I'm torn between the Victorian Lace cuffs & the Petite Goth bracelet & Gothic Princess & Tatted Throat Corset & Celtic Flower Set. What can I say. You make gorgeous stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  114. How can I pick just one!!! Your tatting is breath taking. I can see my daughter and future daughter-in-law arguing over most of your stuff. I can see either of my girls wearing "A Kind Of Pale Jewel" or "Down In The Underground" to the ren faire. Of course they would do the same with "The Countess Was Victorious" and Portrait of an Elegant Lady". Your bracelets and cuffs they would probably wear all the time, and your foot fetish items I don't think I would be able to get off them until they wore them out!!!! You have a beautiful and unique tatting line. I'm going to tweet this for sure!!!

    ReplyDelete

I'm a "senior" and also have an Etsy shop - Ozarknomad's Patterns and Designs. I looked through your necklaces and I think I love Seven Silver Diamonds best. It's small, elegant, and beautiful! I love all of your work, but this one is something I would wear myself. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with the world. I love your talent.

As a bonus, your blog's aniversery is even on my birthday. WOO FOR St. PATTY'S DAY.

  127. I like the Daisy Tatted Cuffs.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Wow. Such awesome work you do!

    I have two favorites. The Bride's feet (though I would have to get it in a different color cause in W. TX the dirt would kill the white!) and the Celtic Knot set. I have already told my husband that I want them. Sadly he laughed at me. Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to get them.

    I just found out about your work and think I will have to keep up with you now. Thanks!

    Your approach is so novel that it makes my fingers itch to get out Grandma's tatting set and give it a go.

    Thanks for the inspiration!
    My favourite item in your shop is Ladies Who Lunch in Winter as it is getting colder here in Australia.

  150. Your tatting is beyond compare. The masks are incredible works of art.
    One of my favorite items is the Order Of Ecclesia - Tatted Victorian Collar. I would wear this all the time. Wearable art rocks, especially with such a wonderful but almost lost art form like tatting.

    Only snag is this :O( I want so badly to learn to needle tatt but no-one does it where i am living esp needle tatting which I want to learn for myself.
    Anyhow enough of me... I love all your work esp the Victorian cuffs and collars remind me of the TV series I loved called ''The Victorian Farm''
    Please may I be entered into the prize draw?

  164. There are so many gorgeous items in your store that it's hard, if not impossible to pick just one. And as I am able to create inappropriate knots in just about anything, I'm very impressed with your skills. So...fav...Hmmm...

    I'd have to go with the Valentine Evening mask. I love the idea of a mask that doesn't hide your face, merely enhance it.

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20530816

    The red really makes it something special. I imagine it would look smashing with Red Lipstick.

    ReplyDelete
  165. So much to love, but its the "On the Sixth Day" necklace that catches me most. Its simple, but not too simple, and it remind me of a snowflake. Also, I love your descriptive flair for the names of your designs---they add a whole other dimension to your listings.

    Oh, I also tweeted your blog!
