Hildeguards Lair/Critters Habitat Giveaway

Recently in my Etsy travels (I am so addicted to Etsy right now that its not even funny - far too many amazing sellers!) I found Critters Habitat which lead me to another discovery, Hildeguards Lair.

Sharon has 2 amazing shops, each with products that appeal to many sides of this Bargain Hunting Mommy.

Hildeguard's Lair features some absolutely amazing chainmaille items. What exactly is chainmaille you ask? Great question! Chainmaille is new to me, and totally fascinating. And well the easiest way to explain is actually to show you.


Impressed? I knew you would be! And with 448 sales I know that I'm not the only one who loves Sharon's Work!

These are absolutely beautiful, unique pieces of jewelery that will please anyone! It falls into the category that I call "Conversation Starters".

Sharon's other store appeals to the Mom side of me. I am always on the lookout for handmade products that are safe. I'm sure all the parents out there are nodding their heads in agreement. I am so tired of hearing of toys being recalled - in my opinion there is absolutely no excuse for a children's toy not being 100% safe. Which is why I was happy to find Critters Habitat.

Critter Habitat features (among other things) Amigurumi animals like this squirrel

Cute eh? They are totally adorable little creatures, and something that I personally would feel good about handing to my little ones to play with. I am big on imagination toys. I can see the girls playing for hours with these little animals.

Sharon has generously offered a $15 gift certificate to one lucky Bargain Hunting Mommy on the Go reader! The gift certificate is valid in either of her beautiful stores, on the purchase of anything that suits your fancy!
