Summer Give Away! Stationery!

Hello hello! Hope you have all had a lovely weekend.  I've been a busy little beaver, beavering away on my computer and pulling out all my vintage ephemera to be inspired to make stationery for you lovely folks. I've put together two cute sets and I'm doing a summer give-away in celebration of the Summer Solstice approaching this week. The first set is called Shimokita Vintage, this is a collage of vintage airline ephemera, and one of my most prized vintage finds in Shimokitazawa a ceramic 60's pup. Plus a watercolor drawing of Calpico I did while in Japan and polkadots. You'll get the set which includes two notecards, two envelopes, two gift tags, and 3 sheets of giftwrap. The second set is Tokyo Triangles which is all pretty pastels in triangle, polkadots and stripes. The envelopes have the signature fox from the Usagi Por Moi logo and pretty bunting. This set includes, two envelopes, 2 notecards, 4 sheets of giftwrap (If time allows for me to finish designing the tags this week they will also be included, but they will definitely be available when they go up in the shop next week).
Both sets will be available next week (June 24th week) in the shop.
Ok here are the details. Leave a comment below of which is your favorite, plus your name and email and I will announce the winner next tuesday, June25th.

Lacey Stash Giveaway!

Hi folks. I promised 2 weeks ago to do a giveaway because I had reached my 500th post. I'm a little behind on my posts this month so please forgive me. Now I have some cool stuff for you. I have been organizing my trim stash and also trying to pair down, I could potentially start my own craft supply store with all I have. Anywho, I made a few packets of lace for sale and giveaways. I like to use lace for all manner of crafts from sewing to gift-wrapping. You can make pretty bows for packages, hair accessories, add bits to a collage, decorate your book covers, and some to a plain tote. I'll start with the giveaways. Leave your name, email and what you think you'd use the lace/trim packs for. Two winners will be announced on Friday, July 13th!

I have one pack that I call the Tokyo Scrap Pack, it has bits of cut lace (vintage and modern), a multi-pom pom, satin cording, snail felt applique, some paper scraps from MT and Tinsel Trading, lace shoe laces, and couple of vintage faux pearls. That's the first pack up for a giveaway.

The second pack, I call the Tokyo Sweets Pack, and its all cut lace and trims and each piece is 18-24" long, a total of 6 yards. Some vintage and some new lace, this pack has ruffled trim elastic, rosettes, velvet piping,and traditional lace.

Next up I have in my etsy store, Usagi Por Moi, 5 other packs of cut lace and trim, here they are:

Tokyo Patisserie

Parisian Night

Rococo Lolita-Silver edition
Rococo Lolita-Vintage Blue edition
Parisian Fringe

Some ideas I've used lace/trim in the past for:

Giveaway! Handmade doll!

Hi folks. I just designed this little lady, she's one of three designs that I plan to have in my store in the new year. This is Chiyo she's the Harajuku girl. Chiyo is a smaller version of the girls I will have in the future, she's the first sample that I made at home. She stands at 9" tall. So this little lady will have two sisters, Aya from Nakameguro and Miho from Shimokitazawa, and they will be styled like the ladies that live in those neighborhoods. So Chiyo needs a home, so she's going to be my holiday giveaway. If you like her, just leave a comment with your name and I will add you to the drawing. The drawing will be Saturday, December 10th at 10am eastern standard time. Good Luck!
