Good Etsy Juju (And Photo Giveaway!)

The Etsy gods smiled down upon me yesterday. One of my prints, "All The Love," was featured on the Etsy blog, The Storque. The news had me squealing (internally) at my university post with all of the activity it generated in my shop. It made it really hard to concentrate, but in a good way.

So, as part of the celebration, I am doing a giveaway of one of my popular prints ('Blown A Wish,' pictured above), there is a clearance sale (with Viewfinder prints as little as $8.50) and *free shipping* with any purchase for Life in Sugar Hollow followers (put lishfollower in the message to seller).

To be eligible for the giveaway, please leave a comment by Friday, August 27th at midnight (and make sure to include your email!).

The winner is Erin!

There is a special sale for blog readers, fellow BRAD-ers and Facebook friends, too. Buy one 8 X 10 print - get the second print free, y'all! This week only. Shoot me an email with the prints you would like.

And my lomography peony print was on the Front Page of Etsy early this morning in the company of all sorts of ruffled-goodness!

Friday Print Giveaway (and Etsy's Front Page!)

I was all ready to leave Etsy behind and focus on other things, when I found out my quince photo made the front page last weekend (top row, middle photo). Talk about an injection of inspiration!

So, the shop has been re-opened and I am going to start offering the 8 x 10 sizes of my through-the-viewfinder prints - to make for easier framing. There will be white borders at the top and bottom of each print.*Also,* the 8 X 8 viewfinder prints are on sale for $15 through November 15th.

And, let's do a giveaway of my chives print, Morning Yearning. I'll spin the random number generator next Friday (November 6th) at noon! Visit my shop and then leave a comment here to enter. And don't forget to leave your email - so I can contact the winner!

We have a winner - #15 - va. I will email you shortly to get your address. Thanks for playing, everyone!

Quince Blossom Print Giveaway and Ciao!

"Stretch Out and Wait"

Leave a comment - win this 8" X 8" print! And leave your email address!

I will draw a random number on July 7th.

Willa and I are getting ready to take a train ride to see grandparents this morning. LOTS of packing that I still need to do . . . so cheers and more gardening talk when I return . . . !

We Have A Winner!

Weeeee!

Leis of Gardening In Heels has won the photo giveaway. My print will be making the long journey to . . . Australia!

This was so much fun, I plan on doing another at the end of the week. Thanks a bunch to each of you that showed interest in my little old picture. BIG smiles all-around.

LISH Door Prize :: Viewfinder Fern Photo Giveaway!

In honor of a recent Charlottesville visit from Elvis Perkins - I am giving away an 8" X 8" print that I named after one of his songs "I'll Be Arriving."

In case you haven't listened to him, you can't go wrong with either Ash Wednesday or Elvis Perkins in Dearland. Both are the soundtrack to our spring. Seeing him live with That Girl officially made him the bee's knees, in my book.

Please just leave a comment (and your email address) - I'll swirl the random number generator on June 15th!

G'luck!

Peonies, The Market, The Weekend

I am hoping to one day grow some peonies of my own. Until then, I rely on the green thumbs (and generosity) of others.

A surprise visit today, from Kris, included a very generous delivery of homegrown asparagus. I am taking her lead and making cream of asparagus soup this weekend.

Daylily donations and swaps from local gardeners will go in the ground - continuing my quest to stabilize a tricky slope.

And, I will be trying my hand at the Crozet Farmers' Market tomorrow morning - selling rhubarb, herbs, cutting flowers and my photos. Come on by!

Celebrating More Small Stuff

Life In Sugar Hollow photos made the front page of Etsy twice over the last month. My fern in a teacup photo "I'll Be Arriving" is at the top - in the upper left hand corner. And there's my quince branch "Stretch Out and Wait" photo in the second screen shot.

What else can I say but "Eeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Okay. So maybe not so small for me.

*New in the shop - 8" X 8" inch prints and metallic paper as a photo paper option. Oh, yes and gift certificates!

Get Your Mama Something Nice . . .

Sale over at the shop - visit, browse, what-ever!

A Wee Announcement

"Ethereal" - March 2009

I've been busy with my camera these days, too. And have opened a shop on Etsy - selling some of my photographs (see a glimpse on the Etsy Mini to the right). Some are new and some you will recognize from past posts on Life in Sugar Hollow. Fellow Etsy seller VintageEmbellishment included me in her dreamy Botanical Treasury yesterday - which is super cool.

This is all very exciting for me - I hope you can take a moment to visit my shop and let me know what you think . . . . I would be tickled if you did . . . and most appreciative.

I'll be back out in the garden this weekend. We had a soft, soaking rain yesterday, paired with cool weather. A good mix, I hope, for all my early spring crops and my sweet peas. The willow wattle fencing arrived and I am waiting on some daylilies that were shipped out yesterday . . . oh, the pace of spring . . .
