Now, how do you enter? Well, here’s the thing. We want to be ‘liked’ — a lot. So we’re asking our loyal blog readers to recruit all your Facebook friends to ‘like’ our Facebook page! Every person that clicks the ‘Like’ button and leaves a comment ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE between now and June 12, 2010, will be entered in the giveaway. Recruit your friends to help you win! The winner will be announced here and on Facebook. Winner will be chosen at random.

I know. We’re shameless. But we hope you love us anyway. And the prize is well worth the effort, right? Sending lots of love and thanks to our bloggie readers! We wouldn’t be here without you! xoxo

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!

In this last giveaway, we asked for ideas for new blog topics and new items for the shop. You guys are awesome! I’m really excited about the submissions…

For the blog, I will see what interesting tidbits I can dig up on vintage baby books and I love the idea of finding vintage recipes for baby! I’m on it! I’ll also try to recruit one of our artists to share a vintage-inspired pattern or two.

For the shop, we’re introducing three brand new mobiles in the next few weeks. And more vintage nursery decor is definitely on our radar.

Now to the important stuff! Congratulations to Lauren – our winner of the piggy mobile! Lauren, please email us your shipping info so we can get your package in the mail.

Thanks again for all the great feedback! And I’ve got a really fun idea for the next giveaway! Keep an eye out for it!

It’s another Free Vintage Friday at The Baby Gardner! And this time we’re giving it away before you can even buy it! Here’s a peek at the first prototype of our new This Little Piggy Crib Mobile ($40 value) created by the fabulous Laurie Miles and coming soon exclusively to The Baby Gardner! The final design for the shop may evolve a bit, so here’s your chance to win a true one-of-a-kind piece.

Win it! Just leave a comment on this post telling us a topic you would like us to blog about OR tell us something new you would like to see offered in the shop. Giveaway ends Tuesday, July 14th at 11pm GMT. Winner will be chosen at random.
