Ten lucky readers will win one of these fabulous one-of-a-kind angel ornaments in this early Christmas giveaway! A group of talented etsians have created these ten ornaments using antique porcelain dolls dating from 1850-1900. The dolls (and piles of others) were excavated from around closed doll factories in Thuringia, Germany, and just look at them now! Wow!
All the etsians sponsoring this giveaway offer fabulous handmade items in their shops... items that make
ideal Christmas gifts! Be sure to check out their shops.

This Thursday I'm hosting another giveaway, an early Christmas giveway. A group of talented etsians have created angel ornaments to give away to ten lucky Favourite Vintage Finds readers!
To enter, simply do these 3 things:
Shell Sherree, talk about talent! I happened upon her delightful blog shortly before Christmas last year, and we've become good bloggy friends. Shell was having a giveaway when I happened upon her blog. I entered the giveaway and was one of the lucky one's who won a print of one of her gorgeous ink and watercolour illustrations. A couple of months ago I purchased the original Meep Miniature above from Shell. I was struck by how much the kitty reminded me of my darling purr-son.
I emailed Shell this photo of my purr-son (on my couch) so she could see the resemblance between the two kitties. And guess what Shell sweetly sent along with the gorgeous original Meep Miniature I purchased from her?
Another gorgeous original Meep Miniature! :)
