I recently entered a contest on Nicole's blog (she's one of the amazing hosts of Stash and Burn, one of my most favourite podcasts), and I was a winner! My prize was a gift certificate to the awesome Etsy shop Zero Markers, where I chose these:
A set of seven stitch markers, made with aquamarine and green pearls - they are lovely, and so light! Nicole raved about them to me, and everything she said was right on - I can't wait to use them. If you're in the market for a little indulgence, you should certainly check this shop out! Thank you, Nicole & Aija!
Oooh those are so pretty. What a nice idea to send a gift certificate to an Etsy shop...I will remember that.
Your Mom's tank turned out so well - and fits perfectly! That's great. I am glad you had such a nice visit. They do go by quickly don't they?
Too bad your DH doesn't like your summer idea - sounds fantastic to me too!

Oh, nice score! Doesn't it just make you want to start knitting something that needs them?

I am so pleased you won, Charity. You needed something positive in your life at that moment.
I know you will love, "No Sheep For You". It has such a great article on non-wool fibres. I am very happy, as you can tell from the blog, with my purchase of the book!

I have been admiring Zero's stitch markers for some time now. These are lovely! I especially like the fresh water pearls!
Congrats to you winning!
