Giveaway: Upcycled Felted Wool Mittens by Northern Lodge

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 97th commenter, Howell! Also, Patti has been kind enough to post a sale coupon for those who didn't win. Enter AQUAR customer coupon code for a 20% off entire order in EITHER shop, Northern Lodge or Cabin Windows. Offer good through March 15, 2011.

This adorable pair of eco-friendly mittens has a date with one of you, ladies! Patti of Northern Lodge is gifting them away to celebrate Valentine's Day. The felted wool is upcycled from a gray and maroon sweater. She hand decorated each mitten with an appliqued wool heart, complete with a gray vintage button and braided maroon wool bow. They're even lined with an inner polar fleece which makes them extraordinarily warm.

Thanks to her gorgeous Among the Spruces Wool Scarf that I modeled during her last handmade giveaway, my neck has remained quite cozy this winter, despite the uncommonly cold weather. In addition to a large variety of scarfs, she also designs cowl hoods, hats and quilts that will help keep you feeling warm and fuzzy inside until spring. Just take a look, I'm sure you'll fall in love with her shop.

How To Enter The Giveaway

I will be pulling a number from my random.org top hat after 11:59pm EST on February 15, 2011, and the corresponding commenter will win! Patti will contact that lucky soul for a mailing address. She will cover up to a $10 shipping fee to anywhere in the world. If she doesn't hear back from the winner within 3 days, a new number will be drawn.
