Happy Monday everyone!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
What’s a better way to start off the week than a giveaway?!
I don’t know either!
So today, the FABULOUS Gina from Hiya Luv (who is also my roommate for Creative Estates. WOOT, WOOT!) has offered you all lovelies $25 shop credit to her esty shop, Hiya Luv Handmade.
Here’s a little information about Gina so you all can get to know her as well.
About Hiya Luv Handmade:
Be stylish. Be confident. Be you. Style is all about confidence and being comfortable and happy in your own skin. Hiya Luv Handmade is a little shop full of stylish wares; handmade from gorgeous fabrics and created into wearable fashions especially for you! I am also a social media junkie and love to tweet! In fact, I host a weekly twitter chat on setting up your very own handmade shop!
The chat has been fantastic at networking others, sharing tips and ideas, and even critiquing each otherβs handmade shops (in a friendly useful way of course!) and it has really been a lot of fun!
Whatβs in a Name?
While in college I spent 6 months studying abroad at the University of Reading outside of London. I had a great time and traveled to many places and experienced many things in Europe and the United Kingdom. It was during my time in the UK that I fell in love with the moniker that many gentlemen {or blokes} use towards ladies, “Hiya Luv” and have since used it as my AIM, Yahoo Messenger name, emails; or for anything and everything.
What inspires you to make handmade items?
I love to sew and find it so motivating and fulfilling to take a gorgeous piece of fabric and mold it into something with feminine flair and functionality.
– What is your favorite material to use? I love cotton. It is so versatile for many projects and comes in so many colors and patterns. And it is soft:)
What are some fun facts about yourself?
I love to sew, read, hang out with my fiance and pup, and I facilitate a shop for handmade business owners called #SetUpShop on Monday nights at 8pm eastern on twitter. It is so much fun and gives you an opportunity to meet people from all over. The more the merrier; join us this Monday! I hope to “see” you there!
Gina has some super cute items in her shop.
Here are a few for you to admire.
Mini Luv Pleated Zipper Pouch in Lilian Michael Miller
Free As a Bird Kindle EReader Zippered Cover Case Pouch
Pink Lemonade Damask Zipper Clutch Wristlet
Fleur Damask Luv Blossom Duo Pin Set
CUTE, right?!
