Lucky Friday #27, Sock Monkeys Gone Bananas

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the twenty-seventh edition of our Lucky Friday Giveaway! Each Friday we feature one of our letterpress cards. We’ll choose THREE LUCKY WINNERS to get a free card.  Post a comment by 12 p.m. PST the following Thursday, and we’ll announce the winners on the following Friday!

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please):

Lindsey M, Adele Jackson, and Echo Dannelle!

We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Sucker for You card.

Now for this week’s edition:

Barrow_o_bananas

Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: We could hardly think of any happier combo than barrow of bananas and a barrel of (sock) monkeys! But any monkey is bound to go bananas with a barrow all to himself!
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: A gaggle of gracious geese, An orange orangutan on a pile of oranges reading "Orange I Lucky?!"
Who to send it to: A person or primate who made your day a little (or a lot!) sweeter.
Favorite detail: Sock monkeys aren't too skilled at delayed gratification, 'twould seem.
Why letterpress? We would never monkey around with our greeting cards.
Don’t forget to post your comment, and tune in next week, same time, different stationery, to see if you’ve won!

Felted, Crocheted Animals

Prepare yourself for some intense cuteness... we thought we'd indulge ourselves a little for Valentine's Day. We have a nostalgic weakness for crocheted stuffed animals. But then, the felted ones are a double-whammy of adorability (pardon the new word.)

Oh heavens! So cute! We have to share our Beaver Love for Valentine's Day.

A chenile duckie! We can't decide which is our favorite.  But how great are these for a baby shower, or for a new arrival?

MillieFern on Etsy made these— they are some of the best we've seen.  And of course, I bet you might find or commission a sock monkey.
