Here’s the biggest giveaway we’ve had to date! We’re ending our birthday celebration month with a bang and a woof! Check out Sam. Sam is a dapper little dog handcrafted by artist, Sweetnellie and absolutely one-of-a-kind. His impeccable craftsmanship and striking good looks are sure to make him a treasured friend for years to come!
Sam is constructed of wool felt and 100% cotton. His body is reinforced with interfacing to make him extra stout. Sam has two button eyes with felt patches, a pompom nose and a hat crocheted from pure wool. A handsome bowtie finishes him off. Sam retailed at The Baby Gardner for $68, but he’s so adorable, I knew you guys would love him! So I’ve pulled him from our collection and now offer him up with much affection. He’s the perfect giveaway for our birthday celebration finale, don’t you think?

Sam is a loyal companion and itching (no worries, he’s flea-free) to be adopted. Think he’s just perfect for you? To enter our giveaway simply leave a comment on this post telling us why Sam is the perfect dog for you. This giveaway will be open until 25 comments have been posted. Once we have 25 comments, the giveaway will be closed and one winner will be chosen at random.
Thanks to everyone who has participated in our Free Vintage Fridays all month long! We’ll still be occasionally hosting these Friday giveaways, so you never know when another one might pop up!

Sam is sooo cute. He would be a welcome part of our family and for my upcoming grandbaby also. She’ll need a dog of her own:)

My son LOVES stuffed animals. I know Sam would make him smile and laugh. He really takes good care of all his “friends” and they all have a special place in his heart (it seems). :O)

I love Sam. He would be the perfect addition to our little family because my daughter Samantha Sue (“Sam”) would give him such love & devotion! I realllllly hope we win this adorable doggie.

Oh, my. He is too cute for words. I love that his eyes are not even and that he looks playful and feisty — just like my parent’s dog. (I’m enjoying their Bella until we decided it’s time for our family to get one of our own!)

How cute is this little guy?! We are indeed dog lovers at my house. My little one has been asking for a dog since she’s been old enough to do so. Waiting for the yard with a fence.
How thoughtful of you to share Sam with us~

Very unusual stuffed animal. We are a cat family but may have room for this special dog.

This is so cute, so much cuter then the stuffed animals that currently sit on my son’s bed. And since we won’t currently buy him the puppy of his own Sam will be a great sub!

I hope you find a good home for the little dog. He’s adorable.
Sam is a perfect dog for a little boy (my grandson) with leukemia. There’s a sad story for you; one day he’s fine, the next he has a very aggressive form of leukemia.
I don’t want you to give me the little dog for him because of this. There are thousands or maybe millions of little children out there who are sick or hurt who have less than my little guy. I’m just sad right now and venting.
Seeing Sam cheered me up a little and I’m sure he’ll find a place that keeps cheering someone. Thanks for listening and have a wonderful day!
Bye, Sam!

Oh, Sam is precious!!! As soon as I saw his beautiful eyes and charming expression, my heart melted and he made me smile the first smile of the day!
Our entire family is animal lovers so naturally, we have many. I have a penchant for hand sewn animals and dolls so naturally, I have many!
Should I win, I would actually save little Sam for the day I know is coming soon. My son begged for a dog for three long years and his father said no.Just about 6 months ago, his father gave in, took him to the animal shelter to pick out his new friend.
My son is a softie, though he went there with the intention of every boys puppy dream, he was crushed and also in love when he saw Maggie. Maggie is a “mutt” whose owner died; the family brought her in as they didn’t want her. She’s the one my son chose.
I’s only been 6 months and they are best friends. The ole gal loves him to pieces. Two weeks ago, Maggie began acting strangely and required a trip to the vet. He gave Maggie 5 months to live as she has cancer and is too old for surgery; too late anyway.
I didn’t tell my son just yet; he will be crushed. I watch Maggie with him and it’s almost as if Maggie knows her time is not long. She is with him every second he is home.
And so, little Sam would be a badly needed friend to console my son. I’m sure he cried on, leaned on a slept with. He’s sure to make him smile, sooner or later..

Sam is adorable. I would love him very much. He is perfect for me. He has a bow tie like Mr. Rogers and I love that. He also looks kind, soft hearted, and loving. Sam is a dog of imperfection but yet perfect! I love his eyes, his circles, and his birthday hat. He reminds me of Mr. Rogers make believe who takes heart to everyone he meets. I love that dog because his smile is a smile of a shy person and that would be me.
I hope to care for him forever and he would be mine to cherish. This month is my birthday and Sam would be a wonderful dog to cherish.
