all things girls can tell

towel spotting fun

pittsburgh!

i have had the unexpected joy of friends sending me photos from all around the country of my own hand printed towels on display at their local anthropologie shops! it's been amazing fun seeing all the new + different ways the shops have displayed my work.

cosa verde earth day giveaway at modish!

 

the great folks at cosa verde have partnered up with the ever fantastic modish blog to basically completely out-do themselves this year for earth day. there are four prize packages full of amazing earth-friendly handmade awesomeness, worth about $400 EACH! it's probably one of the best giveaways i've seen on the web (and of course, there are some girls can tell goodies included!) you can find all the details here. best wishes!

bring girls can tell to a shop near you: part two!

 

last year, i posted around the internets a call for new boutiques that should carry girls can tell wares. since that was not only fun, but also fairly successful, i thought why not do it again?

so here's the deal:

if you know of a sweet little shop, in your town or anywhere you've visited recently, that would be a great fit for girls can tell housewares, let me know! you can leave a comment here or email me (sara at girlscantell dot com). just send me as much information as you have (a website, address, whatever) and i'll do my best to contact the shop. if they end up carrying my work, you get a prize! i'll send a thank you package (worth about $50) to every person who suggests a shop that winds up carrying girls can tell.

please do visit my current list of stockists to see shops where girls can tell is currently available (it will also give you a good idea of what types of places make for great girls can tell shops). yay!

super poppies!

 

surely you've seen some of your favorite artisans and craftistas begging your vote for the 2010 poppy awards in the past few weeks. poppytalk handmade has assembled several ballots full of outstanding talent, and girlscantell is proud to have been nominated for the "favourite textiles" category. yay!

so, you know the drill, loves - click here and vote for girlscantell. then be sure to pass the link on to your friends and family through facebook, twitter, email, etc. and tell them to vote for girlscantell! voting lasts until this friday, january 29, at midnight.

if girlscantell wins a poppy, i'll post a special victory sale (which means you all win, really!) so get to voting!

[slightly belated] anniversary giveaway!

 

in honor of girlscantell's etsy shop turning four (if my shop were a child, it would actually be able to comprehend most speech. impressive, eh?) earlier this week (sunday, to be precise), i thought some sort of sale or celebration was in order.

apparently, the traditional gift for a fourth anniversary would be fruits, but that seemed, well, inconvenient. since i already make housewares, i decided to give away some of those instead. sounds useful, fun and amazing, right?

here's how this will work:

the next four people to place an order from the girlscantell etsy shop will receive $40 in free goodies - i'll include a set of placemats or some hand towels, etc - along with their purchase. yay! feel free to repost / retweet / pass the word to your favorite housewares-loving friends!

update: these four lucky orders were all placed super quickly! thanks for your enthusiasm, everyone! xo!

ps. as a little bonus gift for everyone, here is a photo of janie in a hot dog suit. WOOT!

no sleep 'til brooklyn.

 

you might have noticed how quiet things have been around these parts (and by these parts, i certainly don't mean my online shops... i mostly specifically just mean exactly here at my little bloggity) - sorry about that! as you might imagine, it's been a busy, busy, busy couple weeks. way busy, busy.

aside from selling my goodies online and through some lovely boutiques, i've had the pleasure of participating in several great shows this season - some old favorites (squidfire!), some brand new awesome shows (crafty balboa! philly, this is the best show we have!), and some that are just new to me (bazaar bizarre boston! so good!)

and now the only show that's left on my (way too busy) schedule for the year is the brooklyn lyceum craft market on december 19 + 20. i've never done a show in brooklyn (or NYC, for that matter. weird, right?) before, so please do come out and say hello! i'd love to see you! if you mention that you read about the show on my blog, i'll totally give you a free, diagrammy gift (and it wouldn't even be inappropriate for you to regift it!)

the biggest girlscantell giveaway yet!

design milk is hosting a giveaway for gobs of girlscantell goodies today!

all you need to do is leave a comment on their post (not mine, though i do always like it when you say hi here)to enter to win! the total value for the prize is almost $150 - it's by far the biggest girlscantell giveaway yet! - so get clicking!

xo!

congratulations and congratulations!

congratulations to jennifer kellas for a super delicious sounding namesake burger and winning the double-double diagram goodies from fries with that shake! jennifer's namesake burger is as follows:

Mine would have to be a slightly sweet bun, bbq sauce, fried onions, lettuce, tomato, and a salty, big organic burger patty mixed with blue cheese. And you know what? Throw some bacon on there as well, organic, of course.

sounds so, so good. come make me a burger whenever you'd like.

and congratulations to kittie of zombieirish for winning the etsystalker coaster set!

and a big thanks to everyone who participated in each of these giveaways!  they're really so much fun - keep your eyes peeled for more goodies from me between now and the holidays. i'll always post here when there are superfun girlscantell giveaways around the blogiverse, so check back often! xoxo!
