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).

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.

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…

    I’M A STAR

    I would love to move overseas and open an orphanage complete with an amazing school to educate those precious children. Perhaps write a book about my journey. Maybe one day…

    I’M A STAR!

    I’d LOVE for my etsy shop (www.milkmoneyshop.com) to be featured on some major blogs like dooce.com! I think that’d take my shop to the next level, which would be awesome.

    I’m also hoping to start a home goods etsy shop as I’m settling on my first house tomorrow. So maybe even the Youngsters can help me reach this goal!

    Great giveaway!

    I’m a star. I suppose it would have to be for what I do. I’m a healthcare architect. Who would care for a famous healtchare architect, though?

    I’M A STAR. I’d like to be famous for my wood burning. I’m still working on perfecting my technique, but so far everyone loves the work I do. Plus, the smell of some of the wood is just intoxicating.

    I would definitely be a singer/dancer. Maybe just a silly childhood dream, but you have to admit it would be so much fun!

    Good question. Probably a swanky designer living in a hip big city–with a killer home, of course.

    Honestly, there’s nothing I’d really love to be “famous” for. I’d just love to have my pet accessories business that I’m launching this fall become successful enough that I could quit my day job. :)

    I would love it if I had the talent of singing and was a star for that… or if I had done something heroic… that would be cool too.

    I think it would be pretty cool to finally overcome a “why didn’t I think of that” moment and invent something new and exciting!

    But I really want to move beyond just being a star in my own kitchen to being a star of a cooking show.

    I often comment to teachers who hope I can “fix” certain students that I wouldn’t be in school if I could fix them – so I’d like to be famous for the ability to “fix” kids’ brains to make it easier for them to learn!

    I love these! I can think of so many applications for this… My sister is having her first baby, and the butterfly or dot garland would be just enough “ooumph” for her. :)

    Personally, I would love the hang the orion mobile in my office.

    BONUS QUESTION: Definitely famous for inventing… the perfect invention for time-saving in our fast paced lifestyle.

    I would love to be famous for singing, actually I would just be pretty happy to be able to sing karaoke without making people’s ears bleed.
