Filed Under: giveaway, shop feature

This giveaway is now closed.

Each month, Gussy sponsors have the opportunity to participate in a group feature &/or giveaway promotion. With the feature option, sponsors can highlight their shop by showing off new products. By offering the Gussy Sews community a giveaway item, sponsors draw even more attention to their shops. It’s no surprise the Gussy blog is a place for handmade-ness: products, how-to posts, even my very own ruffled items :]

I’m so proud of the sponsors that sit in my right sidebar >>

This group giveaway will run through Sunday afternoon {10/31} — it’s open to the US & Canada, and one winner will win all 11 items! I’ll announce the winner on Monday {11/1}.

*Remember that Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday {November 1, 2 and 3} is the Holiday Gift Guide. Come on back for even MORE handmade pretties :]

To enter in the giveaway:

please leave a comment below & say hello.
If you love what you see, consider visiting their shop/blog and saying hello there as well :]

xoxo.

    Hi,Maggie(Gussy)

    I love all the cute items! Everytime I read your blog and you promote a sponsor/artist, I just want to go to their shop and buy everything!! I’ve never bought so many things online until I started reading your blog. Thanks for featuring these talented artists and bringing them to our attention. In these tough economic times, it’s nice to know that we can support them in any way we can

  6. Meg says

    Wow, you always have the best sponsors….everything is always so beautiful! There is something for everyone in this one, me and my little ones!!
    xoxo~Meg

  7. Lisa says

    These items are great – such a wonderful variety. As with Cynthia, I want to do all handmade gifts this Christmas, but it will be tricky figuring out which ones of these would stay with me and which to gift! Thanks for featuring these shops.

  13. Alison says

    Wow! Great shops, great giveaways! I especially love the Pumpkin Spice Poppy headband, and I love, love, love everything from I Sew Lucky! Her shop is adorable!

  14. Jen says

    Hi Maggie!

    I love that you do something like this every month! So cool! Love your blog too. :-) I haven’t purchased anything yet from your shop but I’m saving my pennies for the laptop bag. :-)

    Jen

    P.S. I see many items this month I can give for Christmas gifts! I hope I win! :-)

  15. Chelsey says

    Howdy! Love your blog! These items are sooo GUSSY! (I made your name into an adjective or describing word, one of those I think? I’m not very good at grammer) But, I would love to win them!

  22. Sarah says

    What an awesome giveaway! I’m doing a strictly handmade Christmas (except kids books), and this would help me out! What lovely sponsors you have!

  24. Rachel says

    Great sponsors and giveaway this month! You really know how to make both readers and advertisers happy, Gussy! (this comment will look like it’s coming from afar, but I count under the US category and can prove it!)

  26. Allison says

    I have yet to own a Gussy item…. but I LOVE checking out your creations. I’m a crafter myself, so I love checking out other people’s handmade businesses!

    I see lots of sites for lots of Christmas gifts!

    Thanks Gussy!!!!

  38. Katie says

    Thanks to your sponsors for the beautiful and generous giveaways. These are very talented people.

  44. Sydney S says

    Such gorgeous shops! I could just see my new niece showing off those leg warmers. Thanks for sharing all these shops and their amazing work =)

  48. Snowflake07 (Audra) says

    You had me at owl shirt. There’s a certain Shoulder tie dress with the bird fabric in their shop that I also adore. I know several people on my Christmas list that would love one of those Ahmelie clutches. I have the perfect spot for that small plush owl. I’ve had her I Sew Lucky shop faved for a while now; I like to drool over her Christmas Owl garland. All the prizes are awesome; consider my fingers crossed. :-)

  54. Michelle C says

    Wow, what a great collection of pretties! I especially love the little girl’s items and have a three year old that would love them! Thanks for the chance to win.

  55. ABC says

    Oh Gussy…Every time I read your blog I want to quit my job and craft all day! It’s not realistic right now (though you’ve shown me that it CAN be done!), so for the time being, I’ll just daydream and drool over all of the wonderful things you and your sponsors create. Thanks for being one of the most fun and beautiful places on the web!

  56. Darcie says

    Everything looks divine! If I would happen to win, I could think of quite a few deserving recipients to share the treasures with. (Of course, I’d keep the Beso handbag! ;-) Thanks for the lovely offer!

  62. Jenautica says

    Good Morning!

    Such beautiful items from these lovely sponsors!!! I’m a bit of a Gussy Junkie these days with all of the pictures of your lovely new home, and that adorable puppy!!! Thank you for sharing your world with us!

  67. Ashley C. says

    I think this is your best group giveaway yet! I seriously want everything! I’m so excited about the shop credit to Beso Handbags, I have been eyeing those for awhile now. I hope I win!

  68. Sarah P. says

    Hello! I’m loving everything I see here. Some I would keep for myself, but others immediately brought certain people to mind that would enjoy them as great Christmas gifts. Great giveaway!

  70. Gwen says

    I love that all of your sponsors are handmade businesses. I want to pick up a few more things for Christmas gift (and maybe a couple for myself). Heading over to It’s Vann and Beso Handbags right now with the addition of the rest later this afternoon. What a fabulous give away also. XOXO

  73. Jen says

    Gussy you always have such cool giveaways and such talented sponsors! :D
    If saying I want to win is wrong, I don’t wanna be right! :)

  79. Michaela says

    I’m usually just a lurker here, but I just had to de-lurk to tell you how much I love your site and everything you do to showcase the handmade community!! Oh yeah… you’ve got great giveaways too! =)

  85. Pamela says

    Just a little hello. And wow. How beautiful everything it is. Happy Fall!

  112. Kara Peach says

    They are all so cute!! :) I just got a new place, and I need cute stuff to fill it up with…and the vinyl mailbox letters would look great on my new mailbox!! :)

    Found your site through WWC! What a treasure! There is something so special about handmade items and I cannot believe someone will be lucky enough to win all of these gorgeous goodies! Thanks for the chance!

  120. kelly says

    Looks like I have alot of shops to visit, especially with Christmas right around the corner. I know a few little girls that would look adorable in that owl shirt…thanks for sharing!

  144. jen says

    so much lovely goodies! I’m thinking those frame decals will be perfecto on our huge bathroom mirrors…since I tend not to win stuff, I guess I can just go shop!

  148. Dara says

    Thanks for the great Christmas present ideas. I was stumped on a couple people, but I think I found some gooders here. Thanks for the chance to win some too.

  209. Cristy says

    Am I tempting fate by even commenting? Since I already won your vaca Gussy, I imagine that I couldn’t possibly have enough luck to win. Or if I did, I’d get sat on by a dinosaur the next day or something. Anywho, loving the sponsors and loving the prizes!
