Introducing Magpie's Aerie and a small Giveaway

Jenna and Erin invited me to join them in opening a little shop to sell their handmade stitch markers and other interesting items... We decided to call it Magpies Aerie because Magpie's collect shiny objects and an aerie is a bird's nest and we all agreed that this was the name we loved:) All of these stitch markers have been made by the girls and it is an honour to be a part of their business venture.
They had their first three sales today and I can tell you they are SO excited!


Metal African Elephants with Swarovski crystals...


Genuine Pearl Hand Painted Stitch Markers...


Metal painted Humming Birds with matching Swarovski Crystals...


Shell Stitch Markers...

Giveaway
Winner:
Congratulations to:

    I love those stitch markers! They are neatly done and look like they will fit a variety of needles. Your girls are talent and I hope they enjoy running their business and making their items.

    Beautiful work! I am still using the boring little plastic stitch markers, so I would love to win this giveaway. I visited the shop, and the simple orange heart markers are my favorite - they would show up nicely against the white lace scarf I'm working on right now.

    Good luck,

    what a beautiful thing you have done for the girls. you should be very proud of them. the stitch markers are breath taking. the elephants are sweet and the humming birds look like they might fly off my knitting if i were to use them.
    thank you so much for sharing them with all of us
