Please can I enter my own giveaway?
fooey.
Olive Handmade is one my new favorite haunts. Can pillows be delicious? I think so.
Fallon taught herself to sew and just opened an Etsy store “for fun.” But, she’s realized she could actually make this a career. What is now her 2nd job after working in retail with her family will, hopefully, become a full-time gig for her soon. And, at the rate of how much she is selling there, I think it will be soon.
What makes her things even more beautiful to me is the generosity that comes with them. A portion of shop sales go to her local Rescue Mission which houses a few hundred homeless folks in Las Vegas and feeds many more than that daily. They care for their physical and spiritual needs there and help them get their lives on track again.
And, Fallon has another special project–all of her With Love pillow sales are donated to the family of a teen girl named Kassidy who is battling brain cancer. Her treatments cost nearly $10,000 a month, and Fallon does what she can to give to help defray that cost.
And, just to encourage you to head over to her shop and remember it when you need a purposeful gift, she’s offering an Olive You pillow to one very lucky winner here (again, fooey it can’t be me)
To enter, leave a comment here with the name of your favorite item from Fallon’s store Olive Handmade. Things are selling like crazy right now, but there are plenty of delicious pillows still there.
For a second chance to win, go like 16 year-old Kassidy’s FB page called Kassidy’s Army and leave her some love on her wall! I’m sure it would encourage her! Leave a comment here to tell me you did to get the second entry counted, okay?
And, make sure you enter all the other ones from earlier this week: Ru K’ux Na’oj, the Braniff family, High Strung Designs, and Gneiss Spice!
