Win a Knitimal & SAVE two birds with one pin!

Hey friends!

This week only, any item you buy from my etsy shop, will enter you in a drawing to win a one of a kind knitimal! So, now is a great time to pick up some goodies for birthdays & graduation presents & baby showers and the like. Each item translates to another chance to win, so stock up! Purchases must be made prior to midnight, Saturday, June 26th to be eligible.

Want even MORE reason to shop? No problem!
Through the end of June, I will be donating 5% of all sales to the Audubon Society, to aid in their relief efforts in the Gulf.



AND, if that weren't reason enough, keep an eye on the shop for products made specifically to support the ongoing work the Audubon Society is doing to help our bird friends... Brand new "Bird on my sleeve" felt pins & "Bird in my nest" hair clips are loaded up in the shop and looking to take wing with you. Pins are $20 each & Clips are $10 per set with $5 & $3 from each sale going directly to the Audubon Society.

AND, even cooler still? All orders over $25 will ship with extra FREE goodies, this week only.



SO.

*Free Knitimal drawing takes place on Sunday, June 27th (so shop soon and get your name in the drawing!).

*Free goodies with all purchases over $25 this week only.

*5% of all my etsy sales through the end of June, are going to the Audubon Society.

*And exclusive Bird hair clips & pins will allow you donate an even larger gift to the cause.

thanks for the love!
Hope to see you at a show soon,
xoxo, danamarie

I'll give you a sneak peek here:


whattya think!?
(you're looking at some "finally made by popular demand" type items here... i think you'll be pleased).

where oh where has my little self gone?

i've been trapped in a box filled with greeting cards.

ok, that's not true.
but i HAVE been busy.

doing what, you ask?

why, getting ready for my first show of the summer show season, of course! Next up, The Columbia Festival of the Arts-- (next weekend, June 12 & 13; 12-7pm... more details to come).
It seems ACC set me back a good deal (in a pleasant way) and I've been rebuilding stock ever since. Curious what kinds of greenstargoodies you can expect to see at Columbia this year?

Sure.
I can tell you... on Monday.

Be well friends!

Meet the Folkies!

As promised... i'd like you to meet The Folkies!
Folkies are the newest addition to the greenstarstudio plush family.
Folkies wear their pajamas all day long and are ready for a good snuggle at any moment.
100% one of a kind, Folkies are made without patterns and can't be reproduced. Each one should be considered an original art piece, to be collected and loved. This sweet Folkie is hand stitched and machine sewn, made with ultra soft fleece and felt accents. stuffed with polyfil, so he's sturdy but totally huggable.

Each Folkie has been cut & pieced together by hand and features a small embroidered heart on their cheek. They are then machine sewn, with emphasis on the color of the thread against the fabric & the "drawings" the thread makes. The stitches are intentionally energetic and organic--- Folkies originated as characters in my illustrations and murals, and now, brought to "life" as soft sculpture, the stitch lines are meant to replicate the unique marks, textures and patterns of those paintings & drawings.

Christopher & Maximus are the first two Folkies to be listed in the shop and if you want to give them good homes,
you can find them here!


Or, celebrate Arbor Day with this little guy (for sale in the Plush Team Shop)
