Gussy Giveaway!

Gussy



I first heard about Maggie, aka Gussy, and her adorable ruffle accessories on Twitter! She's quite the little entrepreneur and I still am so impressed and inspired by how successful she has been! Here's a little about her company:

Gussy is a colorful line of ruffled accessories. Each ruffle is machine sewn free-hand style, making each ruffle unique. About 18 months ago she sat down at her kitchen table -- she wanted to learn how to sew. And here she is now, offering zipped pouches of all sizes, laptop bags, netbook/iPad bags, tote/diaper bags, checkbook covers, and wristlet/clutches (all with my signature ruffle) to those that love a little flair :) And, she's recently quit her day job to pursue Gussy full-time. To read more about Gussy, click here.

The Nester wrote, "Gussy has a juicy shop full of all kinds of wonderfulness, and her blog, Gussy has a lot to say, is quickly becoming a crafter’s headquarters where she features different crafters/artists and writes about her experience."



Now you want one, don'tcha??

So today, Gussy has offered to giveaway a $30 gift certificate to one lucky reader of The Paro Post!
To enter, you must first visit her shop & comment with your favorite item. For more entries (up to 6 entries total), you may:
  • Tweet about this giveaway, & be sure to add "@parofam" & "@gussysews" so we can see it!
  • Blog about this giveaway.
  • "Like" Gussy on Facebook.
  • Follow Gussy on Twitter. (@gussysews)
  • Follow her blog. (www.maggiewhitley.com)
[All baby blankets are exempt from giveaway credit]
Thanks for entering & good luck!
