Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments and well wishes!
Cathy - great giveaway items!!! My milestone is that in 2 1/2 weeks, I will be doing my first craft fair. I'm mostly excited, slightly terrified, and suddenly realizing how much more work I have to do. I'll be sharing a table with two Etsy friends so it should be fun.
ReplyDeleteMe again. I blogged about your lovely giveaway: http://autumnolive.blogspot.com/2009/04/modish-vintage-giveaway.html
ReplyDeleteoh dear! this is the greatest giveaway! congratulations on your first year of blogging...

You have found some great items! Congratulations on your etsy-versay!
ReplyDeletemilestone for me... I would say, creating and writing a blog. I was feeling hesitant about it, but now I am enjoying it so much. It is fun to share and I have "met" so many interesting online people and read lots of great blogs. And I am learning some html and other tricks.
eeekkkkkk!!! What an exciting giveaway!!! First off I just wanted to let you know what an inspiration you have been to me! Your etsy store & blog are amazing!
ReplyDeleteA recent milestone for me was opening my own etsy store & starting my own blog as well, seeing people like you who look so successful is really the driving force behind thinking yes I can do it to! Thank you oh so much!

Oh, what fabulous goodies! Those Tupperware shakers are to DIE for!!! Love them! I lost twenty pounds not too long ago and so far, I've been able to keep it off! For me, that is a HUGE milestone! I feel so much better about myself and I am really proud of myself for actually doing it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteWe just moved into our house :)April 15th will mark one year of remodeling it ourselves! Whew!
One success story of mine is that I was fortunate enough to have one of my quilts on display at the Lancaster quilt show last year. Thanks for the chance for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAccomplishment.....finishing my first t-shirt quilt. I've been wanted to make one for years. I've been collecting my family's shirts and waiting for that perfect moment, then, TADA, it happened. Now I'm on my third and my family loves them.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway.....www.autumnliketheseason.blogspot.com
What a great giveaway! Don't you just love the memories that come from seeing the yellows and greens of the 70's? And I love the vibrant red of that apple canister!
ReplyDeleteMy success story? I just celebrated 12 years without smoking. I had my 12-year-anniversary of quitting smoking on April 1st. Yeah me!

This is a great giveaway, One of the few I enter. I love vintage.
ReplyDeleteFUN! I used to have those tupperware canisters :) I think one of our dogs chewed them up at some point. Tupperware was notorious for being good dog chews!
ReplyDeleteA milestone- I got engaged last September. Now I am busy planning my rockabilly/1950s wedding for July and trying to blog about the process (another milestone- starting a blog- www.tartdeco.blogspot.com) while going to grad school, keeping up on my etsy shop and making my own dress. Whew- I'm tired!
Love love love those tupperware shakers!
ReplyDeleteMy milestone-I got into graduate school recently. Come the fall of this year I'll be working on getting my masters. :)
Beautiful giveaway!

hi hi! what an amazing giveaway?! a milestone for me was last december 6th when i did my first craft fair. it was scary and exciting to put myself out there...but so rewarding:) congrats on your first year!
ReplyDeleteMy small success would have to be the small sewing projects that I completed during my pregnancy last year. Now I'm moving on to bigger projects and hope I can spend more time at home with my baby! I heart fabric and sewing! :)

What great items! I love the fabric and the apple best of all. Thanks for the giveaway. A personal milestone was becoming a teacher -- a goal I'd set for myself in kindergarten! mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca
ReplyDeleteHappy Etsy-versary! I love all of the giveaway items. A milestone that is coming up for me is finishing my first year of college... almost done with my freshman year! and it was a great year :)
ReplyDeletethanks,

Hello there!
ReplyDeleteA personal milestone for me was being brave enough to tell the person I liked that I liked him. He didn't like me back, but it strengthened our friendship, oddly, and left me free to pursue other people.
Sometimes hard things are blessings in disguise.
Wow, what a giveaway - and a great milestone for you! My family had an enormous milestone just yesterday: my husband joined the Army. We made the decision together and I have no doubt that it's right - but I am still reeling (and will probably be for a while)!
ReplyDeleteA personal milestone for me was quitting a job I had and loved for over 12 years to move to Washington state without a job and know I would get one soon. That was almost 2 years ago and I am still waiting for that job!
ReplyDeleteah, the tupperware is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI've made it through almost a year of college without going crazy, which is definitely a milestone.
i just found you on etsy and am so excited about your awesome store and your giveaway!
ReplyDeletea very recent milestone is that for the first time EVER i got the guts to actually sell some of my handmade items. sure, only about 7 things sold, but it was enough to encourage me to keep doing it!
here's my email if the random number generator generates my number :) stancecreative@gmail.com
Congratulations on your etsy-versary!! My nearly acheived milestone is reaching 300 sales on etsy. It's been a fun ride and hope it lasts forever!!
ReplyDeleteI've almost survived my 21st tax season at work. I can hardly wait til 4/15.
ReplyDeletersgrandinetti(at)yahoo(d0t)com
So many cute things in this giveaway; I love them all :-D
ReplyDeleteHmm, personal milestone? Well, I did just end a five-year relationship. But that's sad, so instead I'll count "finished packing my dishes" as a small success story; last time I moved I didn't even start packing until the day of!

I crocheted 100 hearts for my daughter's 100th day of school and did it without staying up all night :)

Those are all so sweet that I hope I win! Very nice giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your etsy-versary! I love all the items in your giveaway, especially the red apple canister!
ReplyDeleteI'm still studying so I haven't attained anything important in any workfield yet. However, on a personal level the past two years have been an overwhelming source of life lessons. I broke up with a frenemy after some years(yes, shame on me!) of emotional blackmailing,and I haven't even considered getting him back since!
I'm extremely proud of myself for believing in my own possibilities, no matter how difficult my background makes life for me. I had to put a lot of effort in regaining my sense of worth, but it (and I) was worth it! I think terminating this period of trouble in such a positive way, will always be a personal milestone for me.

Congrats! Love your store.
ReplyDeleteMilestone - Last month my husband and I moved across the country, t a small town where I was sure I would never find a job. Last week I started my dream job, 10 minutes from home, designing childrens books for a high end publisher who allows me to whatever I want creatively. :) I totally lucked out.
I love your items!
