Giveaway!

Oh snap, it's Friday already! Was it just me or did that week just fly by?

Well, I thought I'd start the weekend off with a giveaway. I was planning to do one when I hit 100 followers but that has already come and gone! So this giveaway is to celebrate many things. It is to celebrate me finishing up my thesis and having a great show opening, it is to celebrate the relaunching of my etsy shop (now stocked with prints from my thesis), and to celebrate surpassing 100 followers! It's just an all around good day today and I wanted to share the love.

Here's what's up for grabs:

Basilica San Marco print, 14" x 11"

Sacre Coeur print, 12" x 12"

Eiffel Tower print, 8" x 10"

How to enter: Just leave a comment saying something about your favourite travel moment or somewhere you would like to travel to one day. Be sure to include your email in the comment so that I can contact you if you win!

Deadline: Midnight on Sunday CST.

I will draw three winners on Monday!

Bonus for Good Good readers! Use the coupon code "goodgood" in my etsy to receive 10% off of your entire order. Good until April 30.

The Rodent Burrow

Hi everyone! I've got a couple more guest bloggers lined up but I'll be back by the middle of this week—pinky swear! And I have lots of thesis news I can't wait to share with you.

For now, I just wanted to pop in and tell you all about the pop-up etsy shop that my class has just set up. We've had a semester long project to create 10 of one item to be marketed on etsy for a month in our class shop, The Rodent Burrow. There is some really neat handmade swag available included these laser-cut cardboard chandeliers and these beautiful wooden wall-art tiles. There are also some Paris-themed stamp sets made by yours truly!

There are also more items that have yet to be added like fun cup-cozies by Abi. (Those are the wormies and a couple of disembodied cat heads. Alligators still to be made!)

Ok, that's the end of my spiel. See you later this week!

Coming soon to a mailbox near you - update

 The giant tree is now up in Catalano Square and I now declare it the most wonderful time of the year. (It's official, I hugged that tree yesterday).

I had some cards leftover from last week's holiday sale at my school so I opened up an etsy. A few details: they are printed on 80lb cardstock with blank interiors. 5.5" x 4.25" (quarter size), envelopes included. Have at 'er.

Yellow Jacket Vintage

Abi and I had the opportunity to interview the super cool owner of Yellow Jacket yesterday for a school project. This awesome shop is chock full of unique clothing finds and interesting accessories for men and women. I learned that she and her husband actually bought the building the shop is in, gutted it and totally renovated it. Also learned that Yellow Jacket has an Etsy shop stocked with tons of awesome items.

I scored this cool bag that I plan to use as an airplane carry-on bag (so now I won't lose my wallet!). Eleven dolla.

If you are in the Milwaukee area and want to do some shopping I recommend checking out Yellow Jacket on Brady Street.

It's science

I've seen these old German biology charts pop up every now and then on the blogs. Aren't they cool?

Betsy Thompson

Sorry for the radio silence yesterday. This week is a little nuts. So I have a couple pretty posts for you to oggle today.

While meandering through flickrland this morning I found Betsy Thompson's stream. I love the warm colours, simple shapes, and beautiful patterns in her mixed media collages. Her etsy shop will reopen again on November 15 for holiday shopping and until then you can go check out her flickr here.

Abi, look at the owl!

Sooooound

Pretty sure I got the right number of o's.

Some good good prints from this beautiful etsy shop.
