Giveaway: $20 Handmade Creations by Shelly Gift Card

(Ava and her new scarf!)

I was sent a knitted dog scarf and a ceramic coffee mug with the saying "Polish and Proud" on it from the Etsy shop Handmade Creations by Shelly. She also has a personal site that you can browse here. I love both items and they seem to be great quality.

First of all, here is a little bit of information about Shelly: I have been a hand knitter and crocheting for more than 30 years. Over the past several years, the yarn industry has been creating new and exciting yarns with many synthetic fiber combinations. I love trying the new blends of yarns and colors and creating the latest fashion trends. I love creating my “Designer” one of a kind Felted Tote Bags, Ponchos & Shawls. I will be happy to discuss any “Special Order” request with you.

The mug is great because I am Polish! I have always wanted something with a Polish saying on it and finally got my wish! This mug is cute, durable, and not that expensive. Shelly sells many different mugs on her site and has over 100 sayings to choose from! She also sells them with personalized sayings. Depending on which mug you choose, the price starts at only $9.00!

I really love the dog scarf too! It is very Ava (my puppy). Here is a little bit of information about the scarf: "Dog scarfs are made using a large variety of yarns. I trim all of them with fun fur. I include an adjustable color with each scarf. I can make them to match the ponchos that I sell for children and adults." Prices start at only $9.95! I chose a pink scarf in a size small and it fits Ava perfectly. Shelly put a collar through the scarf to that it would clasp around the neck easily. It is well made and seems like it will last a long time. I love it : )

Thanks Shelly for sharing your awesome knitted products with me and my readers along with your customized cups/mugs!
