LillySue, Congratulations on your 50th follower. What an amazing giveaway...that cake carrier is divine! I posted that beauty on my blog.
To answer your questions:
When I visit ebay (too often) I'm looking for vintage jewelry, linens, doilies, dishes, etc.
My favorite theme is roses, I love shabby cottage, and my fave colors are PINK, robin's egg blue, aqua, and light green.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Debi
Lord Love a Duck! I adore your cake plate and would love to give it a nice home. I'm decorating my kitchen in pink, gree/aqua and white so it would fit right in. When I visit ebay and etsy I'm normally looking for home decor and kitcheny stuff that fits into my collections of white ironstone, English/Bavarian tea cups, creamers, tea pots, doilies, linens. Price is a big factor for me, especially on shipping where I think many are unreasonable. My favorite theme is roses and I'm a shabby cottage-fleamarket decorator all the way. My favorite colors in my home are pink, white, aqua, sage green, robin's egg blue. Can't wait to see your Etsy shop and I know you'll be an awesome Etsy gal. ♥
I refurbish old aluminum and silverplate items! I ADORE this cake carrier!!!
Congrats on your 50th - I'm still not there yet!!!!
Questions:
1-vintage bib aprons and kitchenalia
2- each room has a different theme, but the common denominator is horses!
3-cottage blended with whatever strikes me
4-sage green, earth tones. My guest room is pink and brown, with lots of vintage pink accessories
I will mention this on my blog (not that I want any more competition!! LOL
Good luck to all !
Congrats on the 50 followers!On Etsy I love shopping for vintage things, Shabby chic.My favorite theme would be Birds.I love all things with birds on them stationary , journals,even some ceramics I have seen lately have little birdies on the too .I think my favorite syle is a bit of everything sort of eclectic.I like vitorian and shabby, with a touch of country, just a touch.My favorite color YES is pink, lol.But I do love sage green I think that is my latest favorite.I love tuscan colors as my kitchen is all Tucscany.So that would be colors of greens gold and yeloows with a touch of brown.Have a great day!
That was yellows, not yeloows,LOL.
I love this place! Blessings dear one from Amy
Faeries, and dew drops...
Green just burst from the Earth on a spring morning...

Congratulations on the success of your blog.
My favorite themes are farmyard, amish, birds, and roses. I have never been on/to Ebay, to be honest. I have always been shy to shop online, but times as they are, sometimes I think I SHOULD!.. If I was shopping on Ebay, I would most likely be looking for home decor, or jewelry. My favorite colors are ALL of them!.. I never could figure out an absolute favorite! I will tell you that I get frustrated that peach seems to be very difficult to find anymore. My favorite style of decorating?.. I would say country/shabby cottage. One thing's certain, my daughter makes fun at how I don't like "empty spaces"!! (0;
Oh Congrats to you and Happy Pink Saturday. What a wonderful giveaway.
Let's see, home decor, roses,shabby,cottage,pink, red and
shades of green and blue!
hi lillysue, i just found your blog through debi.
i opened an etsy shop in december and totally enjoy it. now i will answer your questions.
1.) What are your favorite things to shop for on ebay and Etsy?
i like to look for shabby-cottage items, usually things that are small and uncommon. the customer service from sellers is always exceptional.
2.) What is your favorite theme? i am not so into themes but i guess i'd say roses or small floral prints.
3.) What is your favorite style?
cottage, beach, shabby, romantic
4.) What are your favorite colors? i love pale colors - pinks, blues, aquas, greens, yellows ...
i hope that helps. oh - one more etsy tip. i find that keeping what i sell small is nice because shipping can be a real factor and i try to keep all costs low.
happy weekend!
xo

Hi, Lilysue, I'm Holly! ♥
How sweet of you to give away your cake holder! You did a great job on it. If I win, I'll put it in my craft room which is done in pastels.
It's really thoughtful of you to want to sell something that we would all like!
1. Due to a limited budget, I don't get to shop on Etsy too often so I tend to go for the $10.00 and under items- whatever they might be! I guess I've bought mostly hand crafted original items.
2. Themes: Flowers of any type.
3. style: I have all styles mixed together in my home! I'm still trying to come up with a name for it! Let's see... country, beachy, kitchy, cottage chic. How's that? ☺
4. Colors: I *love* all pastel colors but my kitchen is bright red and yellow and my living room has dark blues. Again- I have a mixture!
I will do a post about your give away and I hope you can come visit me sometime!
Wow...50 followers..now thats something to celebrate...i cheered and yelled when i had 10!! I love your cake carrier what a lovely item to give away...etsy is my favorite ....i love bluebirds or any sweet bird...my style is a cross between shabby chic and paris french if that makes sense...i love just like you said Robin's egg blue...aqua..all sorts of blue and white together...with a bit of pink...
