Free Giveaway and Shop Opening!

It's official... My Etsy Shop is now open for business! I had no idea it would take so long to write all the listings and edit all the photos, but after a long day of sitting at the computer, it's finally done! Whew! I'm sure most of you are familiar with Etsy, but for those of you who aren't, Etsy is a huge on-line marketplace where everything is handmade, or vintage. If it can be hand-crafted, you can find it on Etsy. But be forewarned... it's addictive! I just love browsing through the shops, and I buy many of my supplies there as well. You can follow the Etsy link on my sidebar. Just click on "Etsy" under my pictures if you just want to browse all the shops, or click on "Cotton Cellar" if you want to go directly to my shop.

Now for the fun part. To celebrate the grand-opening of Cotton Cellar on Etsy, I'm giving away this adorable little Keyring Clutch. It's the cutest, tiniest little clutch ever. It's made with a pattern by Keyka Lou Patterns. The fabric is one of Amy Butler's medium-weight fabrics, and it's lined with a solid turquoise fabric. It's the perfect size for my Jitterbug phone (I know - I'm giving away my age with that comment - but I love my simple phone - just press yes or no - I can handle that!). I've shown the phone is the pics to give you an idea of the size. The phone is not included in the giveaway! :)





Edited to add:






Some other things that fit inside this Keychain Clutch besides a Jitterbug include:










  • car keys (with clicker fob), credit cards & lipstick (what more does a girl need, right?)




  • individual pack of Kleenex tissues




  • baby's pacifier (use the ring to attach it to the diaper bag or stroller)




  • and many other things, so I'm sure you can find a use for this little cutie!





Here's what you have to do to enter the drawing:










  1. Visit my Etsy store (you can click here).




  2. Come back here to my blog and leave a comment about my shop. (just use your browser's back button.)
I'll use a Random Number Generator to pick the winner. The comment period will end at noon on Wed. January 25th and the winner will be announced here. Good luck and happy shopping!
(corrected thanks to Anya who pointed out that I mistakenly typed March 25th - sorry for the confusion - thanks Anya!)

  11. I just love all of the keyka lou patterns and you've made this tiny one up so perfectly! In fact, all of your stitching and the items in your shop are made beautifully, Kathy (I particularly like the hardware you've used on your bags and the camo satchel). Well done getting your store up and running. All the best!!
