ooooo I have to enter ;D
my choice:
meerkat (naturally)...the one looking into the camera
dachshund
corgi
coz they are the three that made me laugh the most this morning...their little faces!!
I like your Liquorice allsorts bracelet, a Meerkat (obviously) and the handknitted fuschia blossom (because it's so pretty!).
My 3 would be
Poppy the faerie, Easter hatchinling lilac, Meercat mob!
OMG! We can win a meerkat!!!
I choose 3 spring daffodils, cuddly handknit meerkat, and raspberry dream corsage.
Pick me pick me pick me!

MEERKAT meercat ADULT handknitted #22157170
Handknitted black textured bead necklace #20849344
Golden sunset corsage with vintage button embellishment #22008408
I think they show your versatility and they are all wonderful in their own right.... and I really want a meerkat. :)
barb@strandsoflight.com
I have chosen
The Liquorice Allsorts Earrings;
Spring Posy Tulips & Daffodils;
and
Teenage Meercat
as these three show your great versatility and that can knit character into your makes, make not just toys but wearable knits and also beautiful floral thingies!

Golden sunset corsage 22008408

Now to consider blogging about meerkat, a Nifty meerkat to be exact. Will let you know if I get it done.
Great contest.
I have been eyeing up a meerkat for my sister's coming birthday and to win one would be even better!
I have had a browse in your shop and it is hard to choose just three things but think that they should be the liquorice bracelt as they are such fun, some knitted flowers (the fusia maybe or the spring posy?) and an animal (meerkat or dachshund?).
I think this shows the range of your knitted lovelies quite nicely.

Hi nifty,
I think you're best represented by the quirky stuff in your shop; so, of course, the Meerkat has to be number one! Then the pacman & ghosts bracelet and Daisy, the amigurumi cow. :)
My choices are:
1 teenage meerkat
2 golden dragonette (coz I love dragons and this one is soo cute)
3 tiger tiger burning bright
I just think that your animal creations are just perfect.
I think you should go with an Easter theme and have these little beauties as your top 3
Easter Hatchling lilac bunny
Easter Hatchling turquoise chick
Easter Hatchling in a basket
I love your meerkats by the way, the are so cute! Seemples!
;-)

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21435557
oooohhhh I would love to win!
My choices for the three featured (and this was hard to pick just three):
- meerkat adult (#22157170), because these ARE your shop
- Spring Flower Posies in handknitted vase (#21211545) because they show the funky, fun home decor items you have
- I can String a Rainbow
(#2083549), because this piece represents wonderfully your accessories line.
I will blog on this later and let you know.
Heather, I just blogged about your meerkat giveaway

I can't resist a competition! I've gone for my three favourites and the ones I think are the cutest:
Little pink pig
Little Lion (he's gorgeous!)
Meerkat Mob
They're all lovely though!
I would pick these three:
turquiose hat
poppy flower faerie and
the pink pig (I love pigs)
You do amazing work!!
The tiger, juggling balls with wings, the daffodils. There, that's my choice!
I'm guessing that you know already I'd pick the corgi and the dachshund (predictable, I know!). My third choice would have to be the cute tiger cub.
J x
PS I'm still slightly scared by Morris Men!
My answers are the adorable Corgi, the Oast house for the center pic and the forever flowers with the white background.
Definitely with a side of the meerkats and I loved your pink knitted necklace too.
I do adore your meerkats!!
love meerkat, so simply have to play ... my three pics:

Daisy the amigurumi cow

Hi Heather!
Because of the upcoming holiday, I would choose your Yellow Easter Chick, your Easter Hatchling, and leave the 3 Raspberry Pink Tulips there, or maybe put it between the two little aminals. :)
Your shop is so bright and colorful and cheery, Heather!
Tina
OOOH, I WANT HIM!
My choices would be,
A Meerkat Mob, an Allsorts bracelet, and the Passionately Purple Flowers. I really can't pick 3, I would like for there to be 4 so I can include the corgi as well.
Lori

1. the meerkat baby (eyeballing the monkey)
2. the oast house and...
3. the soft teal mohair corsage.

I think these should be your feature items..
Pretty pink piglet amigurumi
3 Vibrant yellow Spring daffodils handknitted in knitted vase
Liquorice allsorts handknitted candy pin cushion
Those Meerkat's are so darn Cute!!
Thanks for a Great Giveaway :)
Good Morning,
My favorites are the Licorice All Sorts Pin Cushions...I used to eat these with my Dad when I was little.
I also like the Spring Tulips and of course the Meerkats. The Meerkat Manor show is a hoot!
Black and tan dachshund, handknitted and house-trained the meerkat and the Liquorice allsorts bracelet con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
I would say:
1) Baby Meerkat
2) Your lovely daffodils
3) Poppy the Flower Faerie (although the dachshunds were strong contenders too).
*crosses fingers and toes*
you should have one of your knitted necklace or bracelet, One of your cute little animals, and one of your little people. You are so creative, but try to show your versatility with knitting.
pjlacasse
and your meerkat travels have kept me laughing for sometime!
Because it's spring & coming up on Easter, I'd pick
1. 3 Vibrant yellow Spring daffodils handknitted in knitted vase
2. EASTER HATCHLING Lilac handknitted bunny in egg shaped gift box
3. 3 Raspberry pink TULIPS in a handknitted pot
...I love many of the cheery things on the first page as well...but think it's a good idea to mainly feature items from back pages...for more exposure, as not everyone clicks through all the pages when visiting a shop. They're like buried treasure!
My personal favorites are your kitties though!
:o)
Definately the Meerkat Adult - 23201817 - I even featured this one in a treasury :)
Then the Piglet 15221885 (so cute!)
+who could resist the Pussy in Pink 11861748.
Blogged about you too :)
