Here's the scoop: (from the Satch & Sol web site)
"For the love of family and earth, Satch & Sol partners with fair trade artisan cooperatives worldwide and strives to be eco-friendly through product selection and business practices.
We celebrate the artist for the unique quality each brings to the collection. The Artists of Mongolia apply traditional felting and knitting skills to create beauty and quality for the Satch & Sol collection. We are expanding by adding collections from around the world where artistic beauty abounds. Handmade processes ensure that no two items are ever exactly alike. "
So I was thrilled when Susan at Satch & Sol offered to give away one pair of children's slippers from their online boutique to a Zach Aboard reader (no dad, you can't enter). Just leave a comment here between now and Thursday telling me your favorite item from their shop, or heck tell me anything :) For an additional entry, post a link to this giveaway on your blog and tell me about it here.
And that's not all! If you shop at Satch & Sol's online boutique and enter the word boat15 at checkout you will get 15% off your purchase from now until January 24, 2010.
I'm off in the meantime, on a bit of a journey, but I'll be back on Thursday night Jan 14, at which time I'll post the winner! Thank you Susan! And good luck!
comments closed... check in late tonight or tomorrow morning for the winner! thanks!
oh my! the pups slippers, hands down. they are so stinkin' cute!! thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the connection to such great craftspeople. We too cannot find the right slippers -- loved your testimonial.
ReplyDelete(BTW I am Lucysmom on Mothering.com, in case you have wondered why Kirkland, WA shows up on your great blog.)
OK, the kid (Lucy, 5) needs slippers, refuses to wear all those tried heretofore, and the youth 12 (Eur 30) blue hitch look like great candidates.
Thank you for sharing the snippets from your life as a parent. The joy you feel about your son, and the care you take in your approach to parenting, are inspiring.
My 5 year old daughter is a fan of the flower cut style. Very cute. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteOh MY! Those are beautiful. I think my fav is the "bzzzz & woof" slippers, how stinkin' adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe ladybug slippers are a winner at our house. Thanks for the giveaway and supporting such a fun store.
ReplyDeleteWow, you were right, this is a great giveaway. If I had to pick my favorite thing on their site: I love the moccaasin slipper for my sons and the flower cut for my daughter! Actually, I just love them all! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for this giveaway! They have such awesome stuff. I blogged about it:

Would love it if they had the mittens and gloves also in bigger sizes (for older kids/grown-ups)...

ReplyDeleteThose slippers are *gorgeous*! I love the moccasin style slippers.

ReplyDeletei've had my eye on a pair of flower cut slippers (for me ;-) for a while now but since this giveaway is for the kiddos, i think i'd go with a pair of jokers!
LOVE the 3 piece wooly set...oh such goodness.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting a awesome giveaway!

I like the little moccasins! We don't wear shoes in the house, but sometimes our son's feet get cold... This would be a perfect solution!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of these folks... or these slippers. But after two and a half years aboard, I so so so feel you about never ever being able to get warm feet in a cold boat. Me n the kids have constantly chilly feet in winter, pretty much no matter what. If you say these do it... I am wildly impressed. =)
ReplyDeleteI love their slippers too, the traditional felting methods are incredible! The flower cuts and moccasins are too cute! Thank you Cindy and Susan for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...we love the pup slippers. I hadn't seen those on the site before - they must be fairly new. My son refuses to wear socks...maybe I could convince him to keep doggies on his feet?
ReplyDeleteOh, the pink flower buds are to die for. If you're a three-year-old girl, that is!
ReplyDeletelovely- and my wee one is growing out of hers. love your blog- thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeletecold feet in snowy michigan, would love a pair! and posted a link just for good measure and that extra chance!

i love wool, especially in fun colors. don't know how i could choose a favorite item in this shop. love the mittens and the slippers. thanks for the opportunity. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love all of the styles but think the moccasins are the best for handing down and sharing being an older sister and younger brother.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I like the moccasins best! They have so many beautiful colors and choices though.
ReplyDeleteI love the splashes version of the slippers. The splash of color adds something different. If I had a little girl, I would be all over the flower cut version. So cute!
ReplyDeletei am right with you on that one!!! nothing is better than a great pair of slippers. we'll have to try them (maybe win a pair) I look forward to hearing about all your adventures and exploring in Hawaii!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this slippers. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love these slippers too! My son has a pair that he wears at his playgroup all the time. I'd love to get a pair for my daughter, my favorites are the ones that are like a flower with the petals opening at the top, so precious! I love all of the colors that they use too!
ReplyDeleteI would tell you my favorite, if I were, in fact, able to choose. I have 3 rowdy kiddanos, so the options for us are limitless... flowery girl ones, more stoic little ones for my mancub. Love. 'Em. All. :)
ReplyDeleteOooo, I have been wishing so hard that I could afford to buy these flower slippers for my best friend's daughter. They live far, far away, but I love to be an honorary auntie as I can. (Plus, my girls are too big for these now. Sigh.)
ReplyDeleteMy son won't keep socks on in the house, and his feet are always icy!!! Maybe these would do the trick.
ReplyDeleteThese have been eye candy for me for a few months now! Here's to hoping I win *fingers crossed :D
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I have never seen these before - where have I been?
ReplyDeleteThey look so cozy.
count me in!
ReplyDeleteI love just the plain old moccosins (sp?) in the olive green color!! They do beautiful work and they look so incredibly cozy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. My boys have been eyeing these slippers for a long time. I think I'll take advantage of the discount! Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteOh, those ladybug slippers are so cute! Thanks for the chance to win them.
