A Warm Welcome and a Giveaway to Celebrate!

*THE GIVEAWAY BELOW IS NOW CLOSED.

BIG thanks to all who came out and made the Iowa Arts Fest a success!!!!  We're still recovering! 

See more pics of the festival on our facebook page!

If you're new and joining us for the first time, we are SO glad that you are here!!! We wish you a Warm Welcome! And you're in luck!  To celebrate this past weekend, we're starting a new giveaway today!  

But first, let us show you around!

If you're interested in finding out more about the Things With Wings family, head here.


If we talked to you this weekend about a custom order, you can get ideas (but are certainly not limited to these) by heading here.

This Thing Called Family

If you'd like to learn and see more pictures of "This Thing Called Family" -our national line of wall art and home decor items with DEMDACO, (pictured above) including where you can find it in your area, go check out this section.  Be sure to check out the lazy susans - they've been really popular!

Many of you asked this weekend about purchasing items directly from our website.  Although our blog here is not set up that way, we do have several options for you: 

*We have 2 etsy shops (see menu bar) that have been sorely neglected!  We've been so busy that stuff sells long before we have time to get up on there!  A good problem to have!  But our goal this summer is to update them with new original items. We will make announcements via facebook when that happens!   

*Items from "This Thing Called Family" can be purchased from a few online shopping sources that we've connected with:
Gabby's Gifts
The Village Shop
...and if you're local to the Iowa City area, go visit Ben Franklin's in Sycamore Mall -they have a great selection right now!

*If you see something here on our blog or facebook that you like, email us and we'll let you know if we still have it!  We use paypal and ship things all the time!

Lastly, we would LOVE it if you'd join us on our facebook page.  It's a great way to connect and we update it with pictures and info way more often than our blog!  *If you purchased something from us this past weekend, we'd love to see it in your space!!!  Post a picture on our facebook wall and we will repost it for all to see!

Whew! NOW on to the giveaway!

Here it is!

Our "True Love Cross!"  This cross is one of a few crosses that are available in the "This Thing Called Family"collection.  It is made from wood composite, canvas and has an iron wire hanger.  It's 15 inches long.  DEMDACO tells us the crosses are selling really well, so we're excited to be giving one away!

To Enter:

*just leave a comment on this post and tell us how you first connected with Things With Wings (if you can remember!) Nothing simpler!  Make sure there's a way we can contact you.

***If, in your one comment, you mention that you've also facebooked, blogged, or tweeted the giveaway, we'll throw in an extra surprise!  (you know from our other giveaways that it'll be something good!)

*We will choose a winner on Thursday night, 10 pm CST.

*One entry per person, please! Extra comments will be deleted. Your comment will not be immediately visible until after we've approved it.  


Good luck and a special welcome to all you new folks!
