New sponsor and zipper giveaway!!

I have a very cool new type of sponsor to share with you today... Jennie from Zipit Zipper Supply offers a great selection of always-useful zippers in her Etsy store for a way, WAY better value than buying them at the fabric store!
Every time I need a zipper I hate to spend the $3.50 or so on them at the big stores--it's not a lot of money in the long run but it feels expensive for a dress that was made out of a piece of vintage fabric from Goodwill or made over from a thrifted dress!  The answer--buying zippers in bulk at a handy and affordable online seller like Zipit.  Check out the great packages they have, with zippers ranging from 3-14" and in just about any color you want!

Of course you can also get a pack of, say, 10 zippers all the same, bright color, for $5!  I will definitely have to check back when I make five bridesmaid dresses before my wedding next August.
Here's a little bit about Jennie, your fabulous zipper source host:
My husband and I live in Wisconsin and have 4 kids (3 bright eyed girls and a bouncing baby boy). We run two Etsy shops- Zipit, where we (obviously) sell YKK zippers and also Kung Fu Cowgirl, where we make custom buttons, magnets, and pocket mirrors and a few other miscellaneous, quirky things. We like to spend our free time hiking, camping, rockhounding and daydreaming about making enough money to spend the cruddy cold Wisconsin winters somewhere warm where avocado trees grow and you can get fresh tortillas every day. 


Jennie has generously offered a giveaway to our readers--one lucky, randomly chosen commenter will win a $20 store credit to Zipit! How cool is that?!
In order to enter, the drill is pretty much the same as usual:

• Visit Zipit and tell me which zipper set you'd order first.
• You must be a follower of my blog.
• Leave a comment on this post (make sure I have a way to contact you!),
• and/or share this giveaway: Facebook, Twitter, your blog--tell me about it in a comment on this post!

You get one entry per comment, so if you share this in two or three places, make sure to leave two or three comments! (But only once per venue).

I will announce the winner next Monday, September 27th (giveaway ends Sunday the 26th at midnight)... good luck and have fun shopping at Zipit!
