They are handmade baseballs modeled after the original "base ball" from nearly 200 years ago.

Made from beautiful American tanned leather and high quality waxed linen thread, you will not find a finer ball anywhere.

The lemon peel style baseball represents an important link in baseball's early history. Few are aware that the modern "figure eight" style baseball evolved from the lemon peel style ball.

GIVEAWAY - Locket2You - AMAZING LOCKET celebrating Summit of Awesome! CLOSED

CLOSED - AND THE WINNER IS - ALAMODESTUFF!

Chosen by random.org
True Random Number Generator

Min: 1
Max: 642
506
Powered by RANDOM.ORG

Locket2You has a special place in my heart because owner (designer/maker) Miranda is my niece! Miranda and her (designer/maker) hubby Scott are the crafty couple behind this amazing little locket line!

They live in Portland, Oregon with the handsome and totally clever Adriel, age 7 (although he does think his Aunt Cat is a brain-eating zombie) and the incredibly adorable Elise.

Miranda has been a craft maven since childhood - her earliest crafty ventures involved puff paint and plastic visors and also candles and seashells (this one might have resulted in the untimely death of a snail named Shirley, but we're not going to go there) - she is also an excellent cook and writer!

Their lockets are fun and gorgeous and very hard to resist (but why would you want to?)

Locket2You has grown their little business into a 75 store crafty empire in less than a year.
How'd they do it?

Well, we are going to talk to them about that when I do a series on wholesale next month (a little heads up would be that this process includes a totally great product, Scott's excellent understanding of social media, alot of hard work, a bit of good luck and the positive intention to expand - think law of attraction in action again - something tells me they have not been whining on Wednesdays ... well, maybe a little knowing Miranda).

Scott will be speaking about wholesale selling at the Summit of Awesome in Portland this week. Etsy will be following the Summit in the virtual labs, so check it all out for lots of great (ok, let's just say awesome) information.

We are so lucky to have one of their stunning lockets for this week's giveaway!



WHAT YOU GET:

One lucky winner will receive your choice of one of Locket2You's stunning brass lockets!




HOW TO WIN:

Visit Locket2You and check out their lockets- then come back here and leave a comment letting Miranda and Scott know the locket you would like to win (colors and availability may vary):
