This is a totally awesome giveaway! Visiting your site is one of my favorite moments of the day!
More exciting stuff, oh, I hope I’ll be lucky…
These are absolutely fantastic. I see so many things thatI would like to have. I would have to make my sister something with the door knob. She collects real door knobs, and of course I would want one for me!
Oh my, had to place an order for a door knob. I still want to win so bad I can taste it. Just had to make double sure I got at least one door knob
Love it, love it! Steampunk! spikescreativeside [at] gmail [dot] com

Love steampunk! Interesting collection of items. Good luck everyone!
The Steampunk set absolutely fascinates me. I saw the club on a recent Castle episode and I wanted to go there NAO! Making art in this genre is as close as I can get to something like that and it’s fun to raid my husbands toolshed and find things to alter.
You had me at Steampunk and the Vintaj brass is always fun.
What a great collection of creativity!
That is a killer collection and I would love to have it to play with! Love Steampunk, love vintage, love ecclectic! Right down my alley! (thanks InkPattie)

Love,love Steampunk! Would love to create an embellished story book about an inventor whose machine is stolen by a woman hypnotized by an evil magician!! Items in giveaway would almost write the story themselves!!
Steampunk is a fave of mine!

Aw crikey! The shopping list is getting longer and longer. Why did i bother with laser surgery on the eyes, else you must have been hiding these until now or I would have bought ages ago LOL. Those doll stamps are inspirational!
I missed this giveaway, but I wanted to comment on your steampunk treasure trove anyway. I have ordered, and then reordered things because I just have to have more right after I used them. You have the BEST stuff!
Such a gorgeous bunch of stuff – steampunk is such a fun theme|!
Hugs,

Happy New Year everyone, it’s almost lunchtime here and we’re pulling up a Hangi feast for lunch – and old cooking style that pre-dates even these typewriters LOL
