A Very Mary Design - Giveaway

Mary Ann Abbott is a woman who wears many hats. She is an English teacher, a thrifter, a generous & talented shop owner with not one, but two Etsy shops. Magpie Mary showcases Mary Ann's thrift good & vintage finds, such as vintage glass lotion jars. Her other shop, A Very Mary Design, is where she shares her love of vintage supplies, as well as handmade items she has created. My favorite items are the so-called ugly monsters she creates by recycling materials & embellishing them with buttons & hand-embroidered details.

GIVEAWAY - CLOSED: Mary Ann has generously offered up one of her adorable "ugly" monsters (pictured here) to one lucky reader. Simply visit one of her Etsy shops, then leave a comment on this post noting one of your favorite items. Giveaway will end at Midnight CST, Friday, January 2nd.

Receive 25% off all merchandise (less s/h) in either shop with code FUNKY. Code should go in "notes to seller" section and you will receive an adjusted invoice. Good through January 10.

I'm a fan of little ugly monsters! I also love perusing flea markets and antique stores. The 1970s Japanese Mushroom Tea Set in Magpie Mary is too funky!

Thanks for the giveaway!
