If You had $100 to spend …

on Etsy, what would you buy?  Well, the guys at CraftGossip is giving away Etsy shopping sprees (each to a maximum value of $100) to 3 lucky readers.  Of course, I could not pass up the chance to enter.

Now limiting myself to $100 was not easy (especially when you factor in postage to Australia) and I could have so easily gotten fabrics, patterns and notions for myself but I didn’t.  Instead,  I wanted to get something special for my children that I couldn’t (or have the time to) make myself.  So my Etsy wish list includes this beautiful doll for my daughter, lovingly handmade by goodbyebluemonday.

Isn’t she the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen?  I love the details on her – from the buttons on her sailor pants to the star headband on her head, she’s just gorgeous.  Even my daughter has fallen in love with her and at 28 inches, she’ll be a nice friend to lug around.

For my son (who is 5.5 months old), this simple yet classic wooden teether from littlsaplingtoys as he is gnawing on just about anything at the moment,

and these wooden cars from the same seller for when he’s a bit older.  I chose these pieces as I’m a big fan of wooden toys (and puzzles) – they’ve got a timeless appeal to them and if made well, I often think they would last for a long time.

So that’s my Etsy wish list and for your chance to win your Etsy wish list, head on over to CraftGossip for more details, you have until the end of the month.  Good luck.
