Meet PurpleHug!

Who are you?
Nadine, mom of 2 small children - self employed (realtor)

What is your Etsy Shop Name/link?
PurpleHug -- located at http://PurpleHug.etsy.com

What tag categories do you specialize in?
Jewelry, Magnets, Paper goods

Do you create for children or adults, women or men?
Yes, yes, yes, yes! My shop has a little bit of everything. Gore-tex lined bibs for the little ones and adults, jewelry for the women and I have a set of magnets with a golf theme that would be great for the man in your life!

What do you like about Etsy?
The sense of community, the way shop owners support each other.

What do you like about creating?
Being able to make anything - the sky is the limit.

What do you love about your business?
It's not 9-5 at the office (like I did for 12 years). I work it when I have time and can fit it in.

What is your favorite product right now?
Airplane puzzle magnets
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6721352
When I made these, I did not intend for them to be a "puzzle". You make an airplane when you put 3 of the magnets together side-by-side!

What makes you unique at Etsy?
I believe my shop is the only one offering Custom sales receipt pads
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7045924
I am having such fun making these for other shop owners. It's interesting to visit their shops and see what they have to offer.

What makes you unique as a woman?
I have many jobs - part-time office manager, realtor, church treasurer, virtual assistant (website work) and now an Etsy shop owner!

What do you love about Kids?
Their inability to willfully lie (my kids are still too young to have learned it yet). Their genuine unconditional love for me... I can always get a kiss and hug and it makes my day better!

What are some other sites to find out more about you and what you love to create?
http://www.PurpleHug.com is my companion site -- listing more info about me and also offers customization options for my jewelry and bibs.

Fall Y'all Giveaway: Day 5

UPDATE: COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED, PLEASE CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR THE WINNER!

Wow! I can't believe Friday is already here! It has been such an exciting week. I think I have entered enough giveaways to last me a lifetime over the last several days. We here at Etsymom are wrapping the week off with one final giveaway. And it's another great item!

This giveaway is for one WOOL felt Brooch that is placed on a greeting card for your gift giving pleasure. The card is decorated with a simple design, and the pin is multiple layers of wool felt and further layered with a button all hand stitched together along with the pinback.




The flower measures 3 inches (8 cm) in diameter. The Pinback is 1 1/4 inches (3 cm).

Wear this on your book bag, jean jacket, back pocket of your jeans, or purse strap. Loop a pony on it and wear it in your hair, add it to a headband or pin it to a rectangle for a bookmark, pin it to a favorite winter hat.

I love the idea of sending or giving a greeting card to someone with a surprise inside. If you mail this through the USPS you will need additional postage due to the thickness of the pin, bubble wrap will be included in the center of the card for shipping.

A clear resealable cellophane A2 envelope is included in this listing with a blank index card to allow for the address according to USPS recommendations.

This darling brooch is being donated by Happy House Quilts. Please, go look around her shop and see all the wonderful things she has for you to purchase! And truly, she is such a sweet person and you won't regret it! =)

Another giveaway!

UPDATE: COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED, PLEASE CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR THE WINNER!

It's been a fabulous week so far here at Etsymom! We are so excited about all the new visitors we have received ... and we would be so thrilled if y'all came back even after the Fall Y'all Giveaway was over!

But, as the carnival is still going on, we still have more freebies to give you! Woo-hoo! And today, our giveaway comes from Sue at SignatureSterling and let me tell you, if I wasn't the one listing it today, my name would be number 1 under this giveaway! =)

Think "White Christmas," "Miracle on 42nd Street," "It's a Wonderful Life" -- your favorite holiday classics....now add these to your list!




The beautiful simplicity of white Swarovski crystal pearls and sterling silver rounds are delicately decorated with holiday red in Swarovski crystals.

All findings, including the French hook earwires, are sterling silver.

Earrings are approx. 1 1/4" in length (measuring from where earring drops from earwire). Earrings come with a pair of clear PVC earwire clutches.


Now that we've seen the beautiful earrings - let me tell you more about Sue!
Sue, of SignatureSterling, is a SAHM with 3 children (1 who has "flown the nest" - married; 1 who is ready to "test his wings" - a senior in college; and one still in high school). When she is not busy designing and making jewelry, she enjoys being a "soccer mom" which has become a 4-season sport for her goalie daughter. And in case you can't tell from her shop or her blog, Sue is definitely a Buckeye fan so she really enjoying this college football season!

If you love her earrings, don't forget to visit her fabulous store SignatureSterling! There are so many great items there to get for yourself or as a gift for someone else! =)
