Lots to celebrate this month, lots going on, so I thought joining in all the Blogtoberfest giveaway fun was in order.To the winner, I'll be sending a parcel with some kimono fabric, a kanzashi brooch, a large kimono fabric resin pendant, a small matryoshka pendant, a few of my "seconds" (they'll be on cords as well) and if there's room I'll add in a few mystery goodies as well.
Sorry, but I'm going to make you work for it a little, as little or as much as you like...

1) For one entry go to either my Etsy store or my eBay auctions and tell me in a comment on this post what your faves in there are. If you do both, you can have two entries!
2) For another two entries, either Follow or Subscribe to this blog (either existing or new) and tell me in the comment.
...and because I'm a sucker for punishment... I know the maths is going to be a killer...
3) For an additional five entries, blog about the giveaway and tell me you did in the comment.
Complicated? I hope not.When you enter, make sure that I can reach you somehow, either through a blog link or email address left for me. Sorry, but I may not be able to reply to these comments, but believe me, I will enjoy reading them all.
Entries will end on Sunday 1st November midnight my time and I'll try to announce the winner on Tuesday 2nd November, or very soon afterwards.

On Ebay, my favorite fabric is the pink one with the sprays of flowers and the fans. It would be lovely to work with it here to brighten up the winter light.

I love the Kawaii Kokeshi Pendant in your etsy store, it's so simple and gorgeous.
And the fabric on ebay? Well they're all fabulous but I think my favourite would have to be the SILK Japanese Girls KIMONO FABRIC Crane Wave Red Bridge. Come to think of it, it looks like my pendant was made from this fabric too!

I especially love the Kimono fabric with the bridge on it, and there is a lovely pink one with butterflies that I also like. After all that, I am now off to do a post about your lovely giveaway on my blog.

I blogged about you and your giveaway. I will be back. I'm shopping for Christmas and I like your pendants.
Take care.

I checked out eBay, I love the vintage kimono stencil look fabric and on Etsy the Red & White brooch. Beautiful work.
I checked out your Etsy site and loved the Kimono Kanzashi Pendant Brooch - Black with a touch of Red (so elegant) and the Kimono Pendant - Blue Blossoms (my favourite colour.)
