Starting this Friday the Pierogi Picnic Etsy site will be hosting a “Summer Love Sale” throughout the entire shop!
Receive 30% all ready made items by typing in the discount code “summerlove2011” upon checkout.
Start marking your favorites today – the sale ends Monday at midnight!
I have the great honor and privilege to be part of Etsy’s most dynamic and earth-centric street team: Eco Etsy. This group provides sellers with a community where we exchange thoughts, troubleshoot, inspire and collaborate. Shoppers can also benefit – when on Etsy simply type “ecoetsy” into the search field with your other criteria – the result is a page of sustainable shops helping your hunt.
Each year the Eco Etsy team members join forces to curate an Earth Day auction where you can place a bid for a fantastic basket of goodies from our team’s artisans. I’ve also donated one of my favorite designs: the “On an Apple Tree” upcycled dress.
The auctions commenced last week and run until Sunday, April 24th. This year all of the proceeds are going to Habitat for Humanity for Japan. Visit this link to see what goodies are available in each set – and place your bid today!
I’m giving away a $75 gift certificate to my Pierogi Picnic Etsy shop to the winner of our “Everyday Beauty Contest.”
Submit a photo to the Pierogi Picnic Facebook of what “everyday beauty” means to you for a chance to win! The contest began on February 20th and runs until March 6th. The winner will be determined by who has the most ‘likes’ on their photo.
No purchase necessary – just a snapshot of what you find beautiful in day to day life. It can be the first plant of Spring, your favorite wrinkle or the latte that gets you to your feet in the morning.
Let’s celebrate the beauty in the details of each day!
The “Share the Love” sale begins tomorrow and will extend until February 14th. Etsy shoppers receive 30% off their total purchase when they buy one item for themselves, and another for someone else.
Just enter the code “sharethelove” during checkout to see the discount reflected off the total price.
Enjoy!!!
The one and only great and fantastic DIY Trunk Show is this upcoming weekend – on Saturday, November 20th from 10am to 5pm in Wicker Park’s Pulaski Field House. Pierogi Picnic will be there – in the same spot as last year – hawking our wears. Though I’m always excited about showcasing my work in person – this is the show where I shop till I drop. Everything from Christmas presents, to housewares, to clothes – the DIY Trunk Show is the whamy of craft fairs.
The secret to the Chicago Craft Mafia’s bazaar’s success lies in one of the underlying premises – all vendors must live within a 100 mile radius of the city. So not only are you buying handmade – you’re truly supporting local artisans! So be sure to pencil in this coming Saturday into your calendar as the day you shop till you drop. Until then – here’s a sneak peak at some of the new goodies I’ll be bringing.
Pierogi Picnic will be hawking our wares alongside 14 other incredible indie artists local to Chicago in the “50/50 The Blurring of Art & Craft” show. Come out on Friday for the neighborhood’s monthly First Fridays gallery walk and swing by our show to say ‘hi.’ David is running our nook solo that night so if you come out shower him with some extra love. The show takes place 6-10pm Friday, and 12-7pm Saturday and Sunday. Food, baked goods, music, and amazing handmade goodies and art will be there – and so should you!
What: 50/50 “The Blurring of Art & Craft”
When: October 1st 6-10pm; October 2nd & 3rd 12-7pm
Where: Chicago Arts District Exhibition Gallery 1915 South Halsted Ave.
Participants:
To mark the end of summer – beginning of fall – my Etsy shop is hosting a “Shifting Season Sale!” I’ve discounted tons of items from previous seasons in the hopes of clearing out older merchandise to make room for cool weather designs. I’m also offering free shipping to anywhere in the world with a purchase of $60 or more. Spread the word!!!
