Yay!!!

I won the monthly contest at The Old House Revival Co. blog! It was pure serendipity too... I hadn't a clue what the "guess what it is" item was. Then, the other day I was visiting Lil Fish Studio's blog after seeing some adorable felted wool mushrooms in her Flickr photo stream. I was wondering if they were in her Etsy shop, but in her profile, she only links to her blog, not her Etsy shop. I knew she had a link to her Etsy shop on her blog, so I went there. It turns out her shop was closed at the time, but she had an Etsy badge for her favourite Etsy shops... so I wandered around there. (It was a Sunday morning, and I was feeling clicky.) One of her favourites was in Prairie Antiques shop... which also happened to have the mystery item! At first I was a bit annoyed at stumbling across the item *after* the contest was over... until I remembered it was *still* January (at that point), and so I still had time to enter! Isn't that crazy luck? Stumbling across the mystery item on the *last* day of the contest?

At any rate, I'm really excited to go shopping! :) (I won a $50 gift certificate.)
