OFG Team Scavenger Hunt!

Do you like Prim and Cottage? I do. I am a part of a group of talented women on Etsy. The team is called Old Farmhouse Gathering and I've been a part of it since 2007...7 years! These ladies do a wonderful job with 100% handmade products. I have purchased a number of items from team members and can tell you that the quality is outstanding and the team members are so willing to work with you if you want a custom made product.

In this middle of this drab winter, our Team is sponsoring something fun to do. It's a Scavenger Hunt for Coupon Codes!  Here's how it works.

Click on one of the links below. It will go to that shop's About Page which will give you information about that artisan and her shop.  Some where in the write up is a
Coupon Code for a discount. All the discounts are  different and so are the codes. Look around their shop to see if there's something that appeals to you. This promotion runs from January 2 - January 16, 2014! So you have lots of time to look around.

Here's the list of the shops!

Pink Cottage at the Farmhouse

One of the Etsy teams I belong to is the Old Farmhouse Gathering.  There's a lot of talent on this team, from those who sew to those who paint and everything in between.  We even those techie types, the graphic banner designers. In the farmhouse you can find accessories for your primitive or shabby/cottage decor.

I love the doll designers and one of my favorites is Pocomedio.  She designed one for me for my husband when he was suffering from his kidney stones. It's called Stoney. It's a hoot.  All of her dolls have personality. The picture on this blog is one of hers. It's called  Stop Talking! It reminds me of some teachers I had in school! :)

Well anyway I have put together a new Treasury on Treasury East on Etsy to feature some of the artisans from my team. I hope you will visit it and comment to let me know how you like it!  Thanks.

Happy Spring!

Do you have tulips yet? I don't....just daffodils galore. I was thinking that I wished we had some tulips up but I guess it will be soon enough!

So today's feature is a little teracotta pot painted with pink tulips in a cottage style. The lip of the pot is painted light baby pink with darker pink polka dots. This pot is avaiable in my Etsy Store for $8.99.

Happy Spring.
