two royal years + one royal giveaway

January 23, 2010 | Filed Under ordinary, royal buffet 

i’ve been selling royal buffet paper lovelies on etsy for two years and eleven days now (no comment on missing the actual anniversary) so i thought i should offer a little celebratory giveaway to my friends and fans and the foes few and far between. enter a comment in the comments section and i’ll choose a winner (by random selection, of course) on wednesday, january 27. and what will you be winning, should you be the lucky winner? well, the choice will be up to you, as the prize is any one item that is listed in the shop! mobile, garland, wired bird or creature, whatever you wish will be yours. so enter, don’t delay, and be nice and tell your friends to enter, too.

thanks so much for your support of Royal Buffet, it has been and is much appreciated.

    Mollie, You are inspirational as a cool Mom, a creative artist, and a witty and talented writer. I love the way you take an ordinary description of a day and make it into an amusing and poetic synopsis. I am continually impressed!

    Your creativity astounds me every time I look at your site. I want my house to be adorned by all of your paper lovelies. I think I would redecorate just to make your garlands the focal point in my home. Love you, Happy Anniversary!!

    Congratulations on two years!

    I bought a book yesterday whose first line is “Windwir is a city of paper and robes and stone” and I thought of you when I read it. Well, actually, I thought of me first, because I am addicted to paper in all its glorious forms…but THEN I thought of you and your wonderful store which is always a pleasure to peruse.

    Happy Returns on Royal Buffet’s anniversary!

  36. Jillian W on January 24th, 2010 3:39 pm

    I would decorate a whole room based on your mobile if I were to win it. Love them so much! Congratulations on creating for two years!

  37. kristen on January 24th, 2010 4:26 pm

    Happy anniversary! You make most beautiful things.

  38. Sarah on January 25th, 2010 10:10 am

    I can never remember my etsy password, so I’ll tell you here that I *loved* my blackbird lovely. I perched him (her?)in a vase of twigs- perfection.

  39. Barbara on January 25th, 2010 11:15 am

    It amazes me how you find time for art while raising your family. I lost that ability somewhere along the way and am trying to get it back.

  40. April Dunn on January 25th, 2010 11:17 am

    Best thing to happen to paper since Gutenberg.

  41. Elisabeth Boyle on January 25th, 2010 11:26 am

    I really hope I win! I’m sure these are even prettier in person and would look beautiful. I have a place in mind…

  42. H.M. on January 25th, 2010 11:54 am

    I can’t wait until I maybe win.

  43. Debbie on January 25th, 2010 12:11 pm

    “Love like a shadow flies when substance love pursues; Pursuing that that flies, and flying what pursues. “. William Shakespeare

    I was floored the first time I saw Mollie’s “lovlieness”. Absolutely spectacular. All of her pieces are subtle and so beautiful. I need every room decorated by Royal Buffet!!! Thank you Mollie.

  64. Judy Temple on January 27th, 2010 2:23 pm

    How does Mollie take paper that is still and lifeless and turn it into something so fluid and animated? I love my “Lords a Leaping” (I call it “Fred Astaire”) ornament. What a treasure!

  65. vanessa on January 27th, 2010 2:25 pm

    Oh how lovely! I hope I made the cut off! I could use a pick-me-up.

  66. Betsy on January 27th, 2010 2:34 pm
