Novelty Brooch Friday - April winner

It's still April but the last Friday in April has come to an end and that means the announcement of the winner of this months brooch.  

Thank you once again Rebekah from Forgotten Stitches for answering my questions and offering one of your gorgeous creations to one lucky winner.  This month you had a chance to win a custom made Carnival Horse brooch.

And so the winner is..........

Congratulations @samanthaskouros !!! if you could email me your postal address (tunabake at hotmail dot com) Rebekah will forward you your fantastic brooch to add to your collection.

It is always fun to showcase makers and sellers of brooches and to be able to offer a brooch to add to your collections.  

Collecting brooches is such a fun hobby, it doesn't have to be expensive and it can be a great way to support those people who continue the handmade traditions and the sellers of vintage brooches who save those brooches that might have been lost or beyond repair, back to life.

So until next Friday, keep up the brooching xx

Novelty Brooch Friday - March winner

March's novelty brooch maker was Heather from Etsy shop Merriweather, her colourful novelty brooch received so many compliments.  I hope you got the chance to visit Heather's shop to take a look at her other creations.

In March this gorgeous brooch was up for grabs, for just posting a photo of yourself with one of your own brooches and using the hashtag #noveltybroochfriday.

And so the winner is............

@deerdonna!
Congratulations! If you could email me your postal address (tunbake@hotmail.com.au) your brooch will be forwarded to you shortly.  Thank you Heather, your brooches are fantastic!!

Friday is a new maker for April! Stay tuned for another fabulous maker and brooch.

Keep brooching and see you on Friday x

Novelty Brooch Friday - August winner

This past month I offered one of my brooches to be given away as unfortunately the donator fell through at the last minute. I'm sorry I couldn't give away one of my Lea Stein's but hey! Instead, I chose this cute ballerina (who's skirt always reminds me of a sea urchin).

As an extra little treat the winner will also receive a pack of my 'Waiting' series of postcards.

Thank you everyone who has entered this past month.
I chose at random with the Random Number Generator app the winner.

And the winner is.....

@damfino, if you could email me your postal address (tunabake@hotmail.com) I'll send you out your prize.

Next month I'm back on track with a fabulous maker of brooches, I own one of her lovely creations and have been following her a while on Instagram.  Keep a look out on Friday for the creator and brooch you could win.  Remember just use the hashtag on any Friday in September to be in with a chance and also just share your wonderful brooches.

See you on Friday.

Novelty Brooch Friday - May winner

Well May came to an end pretty quickly I think, but this month there was a record number of people using #NoveltyBroochFriday and of course entries to win Luxulite’s fruity brooch.  

Thank you Katy, there is a lot of love for your creations on Instagram and Novelty Brooch Friday, thank you for your generous donation.

So without further ado the winner out of 477 entries is number 283…………

@peregrinationz

Congratulations! If you could email me your postal address, Katy will forward you your fabulous prize (tunabake@hotmail.com).

Next month is a special month for Novelty Brooch Friday as it will be its1 year anniversary! Yippee!! 1 whole year of brooching on a Friday! And because it’s a special celebration there will be 2 brooches and 2 winners!  Look out on Friday for June’s special shop and the brooches you could win.

I was thinking of posting my brooch collection for the anniversary as well, I might not have as many as some but I love them and thought you might be interested in seeing them.

I just also want to say I try to be as fair as possible choosing the winner, I have to sift through and count all of the legitimate entries (there are a lot of shops who like using the # now that it gets so many people using it every Friday) once I know how many entries, I use a random number generator app and then I count back through the entries (minus the shops) and come up with the winner.
