The Felted Pear Giveaway

I am thrilled to be hosting another giveaway for my all time favorite Etsy store, The Felted Pear! You might recall our giveaway in July where Susan, the super talented shop owner, gifted one of my readers a huge bag of her fabulous felt play food. Now, just in time for Christmas shopping, Susan is generously offering another of my readers a $30 gift certificate to The Felted Pear!

You can choose from one of the many goodies in her shop or you can request a custom made order. Not familiar with The Felted Pear? Allow me to treat you to a little photo tour of some of my favorite items...
An adorable collection of canned goods!

Each can has the corresponding food inside of it. These are not only fun for any play kitchen, they would also be perfect for small children, too, as they learn object permanence. Keep in mind all of Susan's creations are made with non-toxic materials, so they're safe for everyone.

This Autumn Harvest collection is just beautiful. I could see this being used as a centerpiece at the Thanksgiving table!

And this rainbow of fruits and veggies looks good enough to eat. I love that there's such a variety of foods - you won't find play food like mushrooms and cabbage in the stores!

It's the cookie monster in me that adores this platter of sweets. And look at those cherries! Too cute! I'm always take aback by the attention to detail in Susan's foods. It's clear that a lot of thought and care goes into making these.

Would you like to learn how to make your own felt food? You're in luck because Susan hosts a wonderful series of tutorials on her blog, Chasing Marcus. Check it out!

Now, here's what you'll need to do if you'd like to win a $30 gift certificate to The Felted Pear:
1. ~Mandatory~ Visit The Felted Pear shop on Etsy, come back to this post and let me know which item you like best.
2. Like The Felted Pear on Facebook and let me know in a separate comment that you've done so.
3. Come back once a day (Tuesday-Friday) and leave a separate comment on this post.

Altogether that will give you six chances to win!

Please note this giveaway is only open to the US and Canada. The giveaway will end on Friday, November 12th at 9pm Atlantic Time. Be sure your email address is included in your comment or enabled on your profile.

Good luck!

  80. Everything on the site is so beautiful - and so reasonably priced. I'm making my son some felt food for Christmas and I'd be making about .50 cents an hour for what she sells her beautiful work for. Amazing! My little man loves broccoli and I never would have thought to make it out of felt, so that is my favorite.
