Fab Freebie: Bada-Bing, Bada-Bloom

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Random.org has helped us select the winner of this craft-tastic giveaway as… Sarah Spitser (who loves the Spring weather, even though in Texas it only lasts about 3 weeks). Congrats!

Last winter we had a blast at the Richmond Craft Mafia’s Handmade Holiday fair (and later gave away some of our favorite finds). And when we caught wind of their Spring Bada-Bing event happening this Sunday we were all sorts of excited. So we worked with them to put together another craft-tastic, wholly-handmade, reeking-of-Richmond prize pack featuring some of the Craft Mafia’s most active members – and it totals over $350 in value! So even if you’re not in RVA this weekend, you can still enjoy some of the crafty talent that brews here in the River City. Here’s a snapshot of all of the prizes with description and links below:

Spring Bada Bing Prizes2

  • An eco-friendly flower pillow with your choice of flower color from Nicole Lee Design
  • A custom-made Birdie Mini-Bowl from Tasha McKelvey
  • One Oilcloth Party Banner and one Chalk Cloth Party Banner from Modern June
  • A pair of clover earrings from KShonk Designs (whose house we’ve crashed!)
  • A custom colored headband for adult or child with any wisdom card  from Silver Tree Art
  • Any hand-painted scarf (up to $62) by Crystal J. Silk, like this “bacon” silk scarf (yum!)
  • Any art print (hand-drawn and screen printed!) from Itty Bitty Press
  • A dangerous animal notebook set from Monkey Dog Studio
  • A baby yak in a custom fur color from Phil Barbato
  • Any ring of your choice from Twist Style

Hope to see some of you locals there on Sunday!

  • PRIZE: Over $350 worth of prizes (see above) from Richmond Craft Mafia members.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SPRING ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …what part of Spring have you been enjoying most so far? The warmer weather? The flowers and greenery? A Spring Break trip? The pollen? Wait, scratch that last one. Unless, of course, you’re into that sort of thing.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 11th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • DISCOUNT: Get 15% off any purchase in the above mentioned vendors with code YHL15 (good through April 30) <– Please contact specific vendors if there are discount code issues since we can’t fix that, thanks!
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of the Richmond Craft Mafia members.

    SPRING ME! The weather is definitely my favorite part of Spring. My family enjoys our evenings outside nearly every day. We’re either grilling, working in the yard, visiting neighbors, or just relaxing on the patio. Easily my favorite time of year!

    SPRING ME! I am enjoying a sot of Spring Break if you will in Georgia with my family. Got to hit up Ikea today and West Elm, two store which I dont have in Buffalo. I was on a high all day and got some great finds for uber cheap, including a white paper mache Gemsbok head for $4.97, normally $150!! It had a little tear on the ear, but nothing I cant fix!

    The smell! Call me crazy me but having recently moved to a very hot and dry part of the country, I’m yearning for that amazing spring smell of the damp earth, budding flowers and fresh grass.

    SPRING ME! Although I always dread “Springing Forward,” I LOVE the extra hour(s) of daylight that come with the spring. It means there might actually be time for a run AND time for a walk with the fam before the daylight gives out.

    I’m enjoying all of Spring so far, except two things. One, it was warmer in March. Two, the pollen is so bad that I spent the entire weekend being a lethargic zombie (not sure if I can ever say that word again without thinking of The Walking Dead).

    SPRING ME! The best part about spring so far has been starting my vegetable seeds in the cold frame we just built. Watching those little plants grow really makes the “seasonable” weather up here in the northeast a little easier to bear!

    I love that I can take my daughter outside (she’s almost 2) and let her explore the world. We live in the northwest and there’s alot of rain all the time, but those beautiful spring days happen sometimes and we take advantage of them.

    My favorite parts of spring are the candy apple green color explosion of the trees, the blooming of the bluebonnets in the fields and the ability to sit outside on those cooler nights before the heat of the Texas summer moves in.
