Craft Giveaway

Those friendly peeps over at Toronto Craft Alert have got themselves a great goodies to giveaway!

We all have unfinished projects lying around – be it a pair of pants that need hemming, a quilt that needs binding, or even a vase that need glazing.  And most of us are familiar with that pang of guilt we feel when we catch a glimpse of these abandoned projects tucked away, gathering dust.

Still riding the high of our recent website relaunch (months and months in the making!) Toronto Craft Alert presents The Crafty Slacker’s Get ‘Er Done Giveaway - a contest that gives you the incentive you need to get ‘er done!  By sharing your unfinished projects you’ll be entered to win a care package bursting with goodness from Toronto-based craft stores and talented local designers (valued at close to $700! ).  Finishing your abandoned projects will earn you even more entries and of course the satisfaction that comes with completion.

Anyone can enter – you don’t need to live in Toronto.

Vintage Earrings at Extinct Design

One St. Valentines day I remember… I was in Paris, all by myself, I remember there being heart balloons outside a few boutiques, I walked the city, visited the Roden Museum, took pictures, watched beautiful french couples act out their mini art house filmic lives… it was truly a stunning experience as I walked back to the Marcadet Poissonniers and bought many types of olive and 2L bottle of french style orange fanta. It was my best St. Valentines day ever.

Extinct is celebrating St. Valentines Day by including rare vintage earrings – sent from lovers from far off distant lands…
