Welcome!

I’m so glad you made it here. This site never could have happened without the incredible help of Tara Gentile, a.k.a. Scoutie Girl. She has been AMAZING this weekend, fixing things as fast as I can chat them to her and anticipating all sorts of things I needed before I knew I needed them! And fitting in being a full time Mom of the seriously cute Lola too! Seriously folks, she ROCKS!

If you’ve got a few minutes, please feel free to poke around and take a look. I’m sure there are piles of sawdust in the corners, and some empty spaces to fill, but there’s lots to see! And to celebrate this momentous occasion, I’m having a huge giveaway! I’ve cooked up multiple ways for folks to enter, and enter you should because…the more entries I get, the more prizes I give! WooHoo!

For every 100 entries I’ll pick one lucky person to choose either one habotai scarf dyed in any of my 22 color palettes

Giveaway-1

OR a half-yard of cotton fabric, custom dyed for you in any of those palettes!

Giveaway-2

But wait! There’s more! If we get to 500 entries I’ll also draw a grand prize winner. The grand prize would be either one of my Going Green Planners, or a custom dyed piece of clothing, you choose the size/style from Dharma

Giveaway-3

this could also be a custom dyed silk cape like this:

silk-crepe-cape-sunset-copy

How long do you have? Until pie baking day (November 25), the day before Thanksgiving. That way I can have the drawing on Thanksgiving (November 26), because I am truly thankful for the connections I make through this box that shines my face with light. Honestly, I truly appreciate all the feedback and support I get from this little community. Thank you ALL!

I’ll post about and try to contact the winners on Thanksgiving, and if I don’t hear from a winner by Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving), I’ll pick another!

    I’m from Philly. There was a children’s program on years ago, Captain Noah, and his theme song was “I can sing a rainbow”:

    red and yellow and pink and blue,
    purple and orange and green,
    I can sing a rainbow,
    sing a rainbow,
    sing a rainbow too.

    Your lovely scarves made me think of this. You give away rainbows. That’s a nice trait.
