Give-Aways

Awesome Giveaway From Sarah’s Silks!

March 23, 2011 /


Edit: This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone that participated!

WHERE Michelle and I chose to buy toys for the wee ones is every bit as important to us as WHAT we buy the children. We seek out shops and products that carry the finest materials and ones that are mindful of the environment. For that reason, we are THRILLED to share this awesome giveaway, from one of our favorite producers of wonderful products… Sarah’s Silks.

Sarah and her family want to get the word out about how growing all the mulberry trees in China (trees necessary for the silk worm) is helping the pollution problem there. Also, no chemicals can be used on the trees as the silk caterpillars die very easily. Hundreds of small family farms are growing the silk caterpillars and feeding them leaves from the trees! They took a trip to China and found the whole process amazing! You can feel good about buying Sarah’s Silks… wonderful toys for dramatic play and environmentally friendly! Sarah has an article in this issue of Living Crafts on Raising Silk Worms. While the supply lasts, she is also giving away free silk worms to anyone that has immediate access to mulberry leaves. The little buggers hatch fast and are very hungry! Wouldn’t this be a great project to do with the wee ones? Unfortunately, we don’t have any in the area, but if you do, you might want to consider this nature study.

Now… onto the giveaway 🙂 Can you image anything lovelier than receiving an Easter Basket stuffed with yummies from Sarah’s Silks this spring? I can’t. Wait to you hear what goodies are included in this gift basket!

A beautiful silk lined basket filled with fun toys from Sarah’s Silks.

Hand-dyed rainbow wings

Mini-rainbow streamer

Lavender playsilk,

Reversible blue/rainbow crown.

Awesome, right? And Sarah will ship anywhere, so everyone is invited to participate. To enter, visit Sarah’s shop, Sarah Jane’s Treasure, then come back here and share your favorite products in a comment. And we all like that second chance to win, right? Well, in the next couple of weeks Sarah will be hosting a new blog… can’t wait! To make sure you hear about it, simply slip over to her Facebook Page and become a fan. Then come back here, and in a second comment, let us know you became a fan. (Already a fan of Sarah’s Silks Facebook page? Not going to penalize you for good taste, just leave a second comment telling us you’ve been a fan of Sarah’s for ages!)

The contest runs from today, Wednesday, March 23 through Sunday, March 27, at 9:00 p.m. EST. A winner will be drawn at random. Winners have 1 week to contact us with their snail mail address or another winner will be drawn. Good luck to one and all, and thank you, thank you, thank you, Sarah, for this wonderful giveaway, just in time for Easter!

Personal Message… when you are at Sarah Jane’s Treasures, check out their “Seconds Shop”. I don’t know about anyone else, but our toys get so loved that they look like seconds very soon, anyway! What great deals!

    My boys are in a medieval phase and would love those swords and playsilks in general! They also would go for the wings, wands, fishing game, streamers, those throwing ball thingies.. gosh how could you ever choose just one thing! 🙂

    Everything is lovely and beautiful. We already have a lovely rainbow silk and so I’d pick the unicorn costume… too cute!
    I wouldn’t mind that sweet baby in the lavender silk either… is he/she for sale? ;o)

    I love Sarah’s Silks and have several play silks. I would love for my kids to have: reversible and star capes, fairy skirts, knight costume, silk wings, unicorn costume, and even few more play silks in other colors! Wonderful giveaway!

    I love sarah’s silks. And ESP the dragon costume as my son is a knight daily….itd be. A nice change and maybe I could say stop riding the dog he’s not a dragon or, more likely, he’d be wearing the costume! 🙂

    I’ll have to say that the rainbow skirts are some of my favorites. I also like the play silks. My daughter and I have lots of fun playing peek-a-boo with our rainbow silk!

    We have a few silks and they are the first thing my three kids grab when they are playing dress-up. Would love to add the rose garden canopy for a quiet place for the children to curl up- what could be more lovely than to be in your own silk “cacoon”?!

    I love the seconds bag, what a great idea. My daughter attends a Waldorf school and we have many of Sarah’s silks and a crown. Lovely!

    So many beautiful things! My favorite has to be the fairy wings though – so much prettier and more durable than the wings we have now (made from pantyhose/tights). Wings are a favorite of all my kids too.

    I want the fairy wings (***FOR ME***) but I think my kids would be happier with a knight or dragon 🙂

    sarahs silks products are exquisite playthings for childrens imaginations, i think the large playsilks are the best as they are so open ended and can become anything the child desires

    I love Sarah’s silks– the playsilks are the best but I would love a wizard’s cape for my little one.

    Is there anything better than watching your children run through the lawn with their fairy skirts and streamers? That is the essence of summer 🙂
