Item:  Peg Board
Seller:  littlesaplingtoys

This weekend, I am hosting a giveaway on Etsy Item of the Day!  You can still enter your shop into the fun – here are the Etsy ad giveaway details!

I wanted to feature another game today (as I did yesterday) in the spirit of the giveaway.  I am a huge fan of board games like Monopoly and LIFE, but sometimes simple games are just as fun.

I am loving the simplicity of this organic peg board toy made by Etsy seller littlesaplingtoys.  It’s selling for $22.00 and would make a great present for a child!

Item:  Skittles Play Set
Seller:  weewaldorf

I want to start this game feature by announcing that I am doing my own little game – a giveaway!

During this weekend (Saturday, August 28 and Sunday, August 29), I will be giving away two free one month ad spots on Etsy Item of the Day ($15.00 value!) The two winners will see their shops advertised on my site for the entire month of August.

Here’s how to enter your shop for the ad giveaway:

Step #1:  Find a feature of a seller you like on the site and post a comment!

Show come comment love!  Here are some categories that you may want to post a comment in – bath and beauty products on Etsy, my favorite Etsy cards and paper, kids items selling on Etsy, or you can browse my favorite handmade jewelry on Etsy.  There are also lots of other categories on Etsy Item of the Day, so don’t feel limited to those.

Step #2:  Gab about the feature on social media!

Once you’ve posted your comment on the seller’s feature, talk about it on Twitter, Facebook, or your blog!  Don’t forget to include a link to the feature.  If you tweet about it,  mention my Twitter handle so I can see it (@EtsyToday) and I’ll be sure to retweet you.

Step #3:  Tell me about your shop! (optional)

Looking for a feature on Etsy Item of the Day?  Tell me about your shop!  Simply tell me a bit about yourself and your shop on my Etsy Item of the Day shop submission page!

You have until Sunday night to post your comment and post the link on your social media.  I will announce the winners on Twitter and contact the winning sellers individually as well.  Happy posting!

Now… on to this cute handmade item I am featuring today…

Item:  Combination Lock T-Shirt
Seller:  novellanyc

There are so many awesome clothing designers on Etsy.com – and novellanyc is certainly one!

I learned about this seller through a Etsy Item of the Day shop submission and thought you all would love this seller’s work too.  Holly Watson, the seller behind this Etsy.com shop, is a graphic designer with a “penchant for the whimsical.”

“I love pop culture; past, present and future. Often I am inspired by films, typography and children’s illustrations,” she told me.  Her work is absolutely amazing and reflects this love and inspiration!

Item:  Halloween Card Set

I am starting to see Halloween items on Etsy – fall is approaching!

I fell in love with these darling “BOOH!” Halloween cards selling on Etsy.com.  This week, I have been featuring shops that have come my way via my Etsy shop submission page, and I thought many of you out there would really like MademoiselleG.  The set of three cards is selling for $14.00 – and they are so whimsical!
