In the air...

After all of the snow in February, we are finally in the midst of a glorious "warm" streak here in eastern Pennsylvania. The temperature has been in the 50s, the breeze has been light, and the birds are coming home and singing away on my rooftop. Hope springs anew!

Speaking of new, I have been hard at work on designs for spring and summer. In the past week I released two new hats: the "Pamela" summer cloche with buttons and the "Millie" slouch beanie. They are already posted in my Etsy shop and will also arrive at Hello Bluebird soon!

New items and a GIVEAWAY!

Happy one-year birthday to LikeClochework! In celebration, I am introducing two new items and running my second giveaway. I'm also running a sale in my Etsy shop with free gifts and free shipping. I am also offering a FREE HAT to the first person who gets me to the front page of Etsy (see details here).

NEW ITEMS
Introducing the "Pamela" flapper hat! This retro-inspired cutie is named after my mother, for whom - after much complaining and teasing on her part - I promised to name my next creation. Here it is, mom!



Also officially joining my repertoire is the "Flower Scarf," so named because you can roll this lacey lovely up into a flower. It looks lovely on your dresser when not in use.




GIVEAWAY
Oh yes, the giveaway! It's quite simple, really: Leave a comment on this post and you will automatically be entered to win one of my new "Flower" scarves. You have until February 22 at midnight (EST), after which my husband will pull a name from a hat. The winner will be announced the following day. That's it! Now go eat some cake and enjoy my birthday!

Flamio!

Introducing - and just in time for "Hugs & Kisses from Studio B" - the "Flames of Love" scarf! And in a brilliant demonstration of love, Mr. LC was kind enough to model it for my camera. Don't worry, I gave him his manhood back afterward.



Today I am also being featured in Etsy's Accessories showcase! Check it out here.

New item!

Really, I don't know what took me so long. I guess I thought everyone wanted hats and not mittens. Silly me! Anyway, LikeClochework is happy to offer the "Dorothy" mittens in a variety of colors and with your choice of needlefelted design. They are incredibly warm and can be made to match your LikeClochework hat.

Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks for your support and encouragement of LikeClochework over the past year - I couldn't have done it without you! Now that the holidays are over I can finally move my focus back to business and to YOU, my amazing friends and customers. I am planning quite a few changes, updates, and special "events" for the shop this year, but to get you started here are just a few:

1) Prices have gone up. No, don't be whining! It's for everyone's own good. As I've stated before, I started selling retail this past fall and realized that I need to change my shop prices to reflect my retail prices. Don't worry, it's not a big change, and my hope is that the increased pricing will actually allow me to offer my customers even better service, shipping, and packaging.

2) There is a SALE going on! I have reduced some prices and moved items to my "sale" category. Check it out and snag a deal.

3) It's almost birthday time. February 20 marks LikeClochework's first Etsy-versary, and I am planning a fun little "party" and sale. Details coming later!

I am tickled that I was finally able to get my artwork from Stephanie Corfee hung up in my living room. It looks fabulous and really ties in with my color scheme. New Year's Resolution: Spruce up my home. And now to take down the Christmas tree...
