This giveaway has closed. Thanks everyone! See my post from today (June 1st) for the winner and be sure to follow my blog for the next one!
My sweet kitty has inspired this month's giveaway: Maneki Neko! Yatta!
Maneki Neko's are also known as Beckoning Cats, Lucky Cats, Money Cats, Welcoming Cats, and Fortune Cats. They are believed to bring good luck to the owner and I have heard that they're considered even more so when received as a gift. I'm just sayin' ;)
Because our gestures differ many Westerners think that Maneki Nekos are waving when in actuality they are beckoning, as in "Come here!". Generally the left paw up beckons customers, while the right paw up beckons wealth and good luck. Traditionally Maneki Nekos were made to resemble Japanese Bobtail cats - white, orange, black calicos with kawaii nubby tails - but now come in many colors, each having a different meaning (see my definitions list here).
Okay I could ramble on forever about Maneki Nekos but I'll get on with the giveaway instead!
The MAY GIVEAWAY is...
♦ a custom color Maneki Neko* from yours truly
♦ PLUS the debut Rock album from The Redding Shift (that's been getting nothing but rave reviews!)
♦ PLUS a wonderfully decadent bar of soap called Black Hole from Dark Side Soap
♦ and more dark & delicious samples from the EtsyDarkTeam!
♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦

The lucky winner will get their very own:
♦ OOAK hand stitched 4" tall Not-So-Fresh Zombie Pin from Static White's Stitchery (yours truly). It'll even arrive in it's own little body bag that doubles as a tissue holder when unoccupied.
♦ Debut CD from the up and coming Rock band The Redding Shift.
♦ And sample goodies from members of the Etsy Dark Team!
Update: Notice the new photo?? The purple boxes are an awesome mystery gift from GypsyEye!! I, of course, know what's in there and I promise it is lovely gift for a lucky lady. Don't fret guys! If a guy is chosen as the winner I have a secondary, just as mysterious gift for you, if you prefer.
Does this mean there is a second prize? *Gasp* Maybe. Maybe ;) You'll just have to enter and find out.
