Fair Trade Friday giveaway-- bird feeders to start off the summer!

 
I was thinking about what would be a good giveaway for June and the start of summer-- and then I ran across these very charming gourd bird feeders! Perfect for today's June Fair Trade Friday giveaway I decided.

Here is a little bit about the artisans who carve the birdfeeders:

"Sanyork Fair Trade operates an artisan studio in Lima-Peru that hosts sixty-one artisans who are experts in the fields of weaving, knitting, ceramics, painting, metal welding, silver smithing, stone carving and sewing. In the name of Fair Trade and social consciousness we have built our crafts center to house and board twenty two of those artisans who come from remote country areas giving their talent an opportunity against poverty and in doing so we generate a fair paying trade."

Please leave a little comment, tell me what great summer plans you have, what you're planting in the garden, if you're taking a vacation.... etc, etc. :D And I will draw a winner for a charming Peruvian handmade bird feeder by Tuesday 9:00 pm MST. I will post the winner Wed. June 30th at 9:00 am MST.

The above photo is of two of several carved designs-- they will choose a design to sendto you. And BTW, if you really like the bird feeders and don't happen to win, they are available at Amazon with lots in stock right now.

Thanks you guys, I love ya! xoKelly

They're wonderful, Kelly! Oh, and they're both a happy orange! :) Love it!

I have no lovely garden, vacation or other plans to share at the moment. We've had a trip to Arizona canceled 3 times at the last minute during the last 2 weeks. I'm scared to unpack. Is it practical to live out of a suitcase all summer long in your own home? lol. Just wonderin'.

You're such a sweetheart to host these lovely giveaways, my friend! Thank you for doing that! Great cause and great fun!

The bird feeders are beautiful. I just got back from a family vacation at Myrtle Beach and am trying to keep the plants we put in this spring alive now that the heat of the summer is here. So glad I got a rain barrel - I can capture and use whatever rain we do have.

Really love the bird feeders.
At the moment I'm spending my time trying to start a blog,hopefully am going on holiday to Spain in September.

My veg. garden has some lettuce,cabbage,onions & garlic.
Have some lovely strawberries and the raspberries are just coming out now.
I'm hoping to show some pics on my blog if I ever get it going!!!!!!

I just love these cute little gourd birdfeeders and even better that the making of them is such a good cause.

our summer plans are to stay around home this year. My husband recently had surgery and will just be getting back to work in a couple weeks so we will be able to start saving again. We would like to make a trip to the pacific northwest, so I imagine that will be a spring '11 trip.

Thanks for the giveaway offer and a chance to check out your site!
