"I Love You More Than Cheese"  by OhGeezDesign on etsy

Link Love: Etsy.com

I love etsy.  I love the idea of finding unique items and being able to sell things I create.  I love the community that it creates.  I love the friends that I have found through etsy, that share my handmade passion.  I want to share that love with you!

So, I am giving away one $25 USD gift card to etsy.  You can use it in any shop that accepts gift cards, including MaxAndCoPost.  Here are the rules to enter:

1)  Go to etsy.com and leave a comment here on this blog post with what item you would spend your gift card on.  You can also click on the photo above for ideas.
2)  While you are on etsy.com go to MaxAndCoPost.etsy.com and "favorite" your favorite item in my shop (click on the little red heart).
3)  Go to the MaxAndCoPost Facebook page and "like" it.

It's as easy as 1-2-3.  Do all three, and your name will be included in the drawing!  $25 will buy  ALOT of postcards!

One winner will be chosen at random on Monday, Feb. 11 at 5:00am PST and posted later that day in Monday's blog post.  If you are the winner, you will be contacted through a "convo" on etsy to send me your email. 

**  Note:  I am not aware of how etsy gift cards work from computers outside of the USA.  It is your responsibility to make sure that you can use the gift card.  There are some FAQ's here that may help. **

Saturday Market: Postcarden

The gardener in me loves this idea - it's a postcard chia pet!  There are several postcardens available at http://www.postcarden.com/shop/   And, if you are wondering how it works, here is a little video (becuase you know I love cute little short videos):

I really enjoy following other postcard lovers' blogs.  Missive Maven writes about pen palling and mail art - and she sells awesome postcards in her etsy shop!

The Tuesday Post: Postage Stamps of Postcards

There is something really ironic about a postcard stamp that is an image of a postcard.  I know in other countries they have "maxi cards", but somehow this is different.
