Fab Freebie: Stars, Butterflies & Teardrops

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

No, I’m not having a psychedelic trip right now – but this week’s giveaway does have us not only seeing stars but butterflies, teardrops, and lots of vibrant colors. It’s actually thanks to two crafty Etsy sellers: The Starcraft and This Neck of The Woods, who’ve paired up for this paper-decor-tastic prize that’ll be coming to TWO lucky readers (no matter where you live in the world).

StarLand Logos

Let’s first meet The Starcraft. They create beautiful mobiles with cascading tiers of hand-folded moravian paper stars. Appropriately named for various constellations, the three styles our winners can choose from this week could make quite the playful statement in any room in your home. There’s the 3-tiered Vela (which also comes in a cool or warm monochromatic version), the 4-tiered Orion (whose stars are dusted with glitter) or the larger 5-tiered Cassiopia (which boasts 20 stars- six more than the others).

StarLand Starcraft

This Neck of The Woods also creates wonderful paper decor, particularly in the form of graceful garlands that could dress up any mantle, light fixture, or even a plain ol’ wall for a party (or heck, on a regular basis). They’ll be giving our winners their choice of two garlands- whether they have a geometric dot design, a posh scallop pattern, a subtle teardrop motif, or a feminine butterfly design.

StarLand NeckofWoods

Both Etsy sellers will also share a special discount on Thursday, but for now let’s get to the entry details for ya:

  • PRIZE: One star mobile from The Starcraft (choose the Vela, Orion, or Cassiopia) and two garlands from This Neck of The Woods (choose from their dot, scallop, teardrop, or butterfly designs)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M A STAR!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … let’s dream a bit this week. If you could achieve stardom for one particular skill or achievement (real or imagined) what would it be? Would you want to be a world famous singer? A prize-winning inventor? Perhaps an accomplished designer?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 11th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two!
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from The Starcraft and This Neck of The Woods.

    And I’m shallow. I’d like to be famous for winning Dancing with the Stars. (Although in order to participate, I’d have to already be a “star,” so I guess I’m in a bit of catch-22. :-) )

    I have always wanted to be a writer, but my skills lend themselves more to press releases and blogging for work than to the creative element. It’s fun to dream about being a best-seller, though!
