Day 7 Giveaway: Thrift Shop
Filed under Cat's Away... 2010, Giveaways, Sale
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.
Today’s Giveaway kinda veered into a ’50s vintage sewing theme. Although a few things are only tethered via an aqua color connection, I think it’s a great package of goodies.
Note: all the indented items are included in the Giveaway. There are some additional (related) things just put on sale that are not in the Giveaway (down at the bottom of this page).
Also note: there will be 1 runner-up for today’s Giveaway. The 3 items in the runner-up’s package have red asterisks (*) below.

New & on Sale! What fun eye candy! Most of the beautiful pieces use a mix of digital and traditional techniques, so don’t feel inhibited if you don’t make “digital” artwork.Note: only(!) 2 issues are included in the Giveaway (same for the runner’s up package, too).

oh my what a beautiful package. i would do the happy dance for sure if i would be lucky enough to win this. thank you for a chance.

I LOVE the Thrift Shop Wild Cards! If only I had kept,,,,,I think we all have that thought. If I had kept everything I would have needed a 30,000 square foot warehouse to store it all. 16 moves in 14 years kept my collecting habit in check. Thank goodness we have Leslie to scout around and find such neat items to use in our art.
Happy New Year and thank you for the chance to win!
