This was a really fun giveaway and I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone’s comments. Thank you! I’m happy to report that we have 2 winners!

Random Drawing Winner: Congratulations to Jenn! She’s the winner of our Kitten with Mittens crib shoes!

Crib Shoe Theme Winner: You guys had some terrific ideas. It was a really tough decision, but after speaking with Laurie, we have two new designs that we’ll soon be introducing in the shop: 1) mouse with cheese and 2) gnome with toadstool. (We’ll also be introducing a variation of the kitten with mittens.) So congrats also go to Kathy for suggesting the toadstools. It may take several weeks, but once these are ready for the shop, we’ll be sending Kathy a pair of her own.

Thanks everybody! We’ll be having another giveaway soon! And thanks again to Laurie for her amazing talent!

It’s been a while since we’ve had a FREE Vintage Friday! Well we’re bringing it back with an awesome giveaway! Many thanks to Laurie at Old School Acres for hosting this giveaway. Everybody is smitten with Laurie’s felt crib shoes. She’s working on a new design and she has graciously given us this pair to give away to one lucky winner! Take a peek at her brand new and adorable Kitten & Mittens crib shoes:

To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling us a NEW shoe theme idea you would like to see Laurie make. (If you haven’t seen her collection, check it out here.) We’ll draw one winner at random to win this pair.

But wait! There’s more! If Laurie and I choose YOUR shoe theme idea to include in the shop, we’ll also send that person a FREE pair of the new shoes once they are completed! We can’t promise we’ll choose any of the ideas submitted, but we’re hoping you knock our mittens off! So put your thinking caps on and give us some great ideas!

Entries will be accepted until Sunday 4/18 at 11pm EST. Winner(s) will be announced on the blog the following week. Good luck and Happy Easter!
