a summer giveaway: hand-crocheted house slippers from Smiling Knitting!
Posted on 14. Jun, 2011 by Princess Lasertron in giveaway
So this story goes back a few months. One of my readers and friends Alison (the first bride I ever worked with) from Toronto mailed me a few beautiful birthday gifts–a “Have fun being 1!” bouncy ball for Alice and a pair of handmade Turkish slippers for me.
They are handmade by Güler, a Turkish woman who crochets every pair of slippers herself. They are so comfortable, wash well, and keep their shape.
I keep my slippers at CAMP and wear them while I sit at my desk answering email, as I stand at my work table, or as I race around the building on my Razor Scooter (really!). They are so comfortable. I took a few pictures of them and the designer, Güler from Smiling Knitting, e-mailed me and offered to do a giveaway for a custom pair of slippers for the winner!
This giveaway is open to international residents and I will pick a winner on Friday at midnight, so you have a week to enter. Just leave a comment and good luck! Boys enter too. These would be a great gift for your mama.

It is winter here in Oz and I am felled by the nastiest of viruses that has promised in such a savage way to keep me bed-ridden for at least another four weeks – I have already been sleeping for a month…sigh. Someone Pinned an image of yours to Pinterest – http://pinterest.com/pin/42425156 – and I found your via your lovely bouquets. Thank you for this chance to wear pretty slippers! Hugs, Jasmine in Oz

I could really use a new pair of slippers. The ones I have right now are just sad. Plus I might be getting a new house (fingers crossed!) and need house slippers for just such an occasion!
