    I liked them on facebook!
    They are selling so many amazing items. Pillows are especially cute!

  142. carolyn says:

    Not only do i adore and would order their kantha quilts, flower hightops, handpainted enamel dog bowls and tumblers, their flowerbee birdhouses and definitely their large west african hamper basket in green for sure, but i lOVE the fact that these are fair trade products and they are made by artisans who get the right amount of pay for creating such beautiful things that have so much work put into them. oooh plus the hand carved wood blocks are a must, especially the sunflower!

  143. mary says:

    Thanks so much for posting this ~ love their stuff~

  144. alex wijnen says:

    OMG, I just love all their wonderful things – those quilts are amazing! Just “liked” them on FB and keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I win! I sure could use that shopping spree to buy lots and lots of baby gifts (I’ll be a first-time auntie soon to a slew of nieces and/or nephews – yeah, there musta been something in the water ;)

  145. Caroline says:

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I just liked them on FB. I have a friend who just bought her first house and there are so many things that I could get her. Thanks for posting such a great shop!

  146. Carolyn says:

    Love it!!! First I want the Mango Wood Soup Ladle, then I want the Twisted Olive Wood Salad Server Set, then Black Wooden Decorative Storage Jars – set of 3, then Fair Trade Handmade Rustic Wood Vase Set, then (I know I’ve gone past $200, but…….) Vetiver Scented Balls – Set of 6.Please & THANK YOU!!!!!

  147. Dyan says:

    clicked on “like” and shared with my friends. A noble enterprise, indeed. Loving the cutting boards. If I was so lucky as to win, I’d choose a cutting board, the Kantha yellow and black quilt, the earring stand and a medium bell.

  148. Jude says:

    I liked them on Facebook. Seeing as how I’m in dire need of an accessories upgrade I’d probably start with Riverbed Bracelets and a scarf or two.

  149. wendy says:

    well it sure is easy to like them (just did on fb)–they have fab wares. i love the fair trade leather shopper tote bag–among other things! deelish!

    thanks for sharing this with us!

  156. Patricia C. says:

    Just liked them on Facebook. What beautiful things!! The blankets and jewelry are my favorites.

  157. Kat Taylor says:

    Being a doting mama, I was drawn towards the things for the little ones, specifically the elephant hanging garland. We just visited my mom in Portland and my daughter could not stop playing with a similar chicken garland that she had in the guest room. I think fun, colorful decorations like this (and ones that aren’t typically kidd-ish and trite) are great.

    On the other hand, this mama has a weakness for scarves. The light blue Diamond Weave Scarf looks delicious. I love oversized scarves and the color on this is perfect – I feel like this color feels fresh for spring but would work just as well come winter time.

  158. Love, Love, Love the Sari Baby Blankets and the lovely Message Birds! Yes, I have followed them on Facebook for a while now.

  159. moose says:

    Elephant garland is for us!!!

  160. Sabina says:

  166. Alexia says:

  199. Maja says:

    I liked them on FB and I LOVE their website! I love so many things there. Rugs, quilts, the passport covers, the block print stamps… I am getting something whether I win or not! Which explains why give-aways make sense for companies… <3

  200. Allegra says:

    The rattlesnake necklace, to remind me of growing up in California, but probably a quilt to keep me warm in this London winter. Or the passport cover to fly me home! A x p.s. with just over 200 comments, you could give each of us $1 towards a purchase, then we can all support fair trade!

  201. stacy finke says:

    Friending is done. I absolutely want to string up a few of the “modern hanging pendant lamp shades” in my garden.

  202. Annette Graf says:

    I liked them on Facebook, and really support and cherish the idea of more companies like Connected Goods! What a wonderful site. I checked them out and I can tell you that I am currently typing this post on the wooden floor of our new home we just moved in yesterday! The 200$ would be well spent on many of the Wild Olive wood products and the Woven African Knitting baskets! Love Love this company,

  207. Beautiful! “Connected” is my word for my life, so this Fair Trade shop seems a perfect fit for me. I love the scarves, and the Tagua Bib Statement necklace is gorgeous. But I’d most likely spend the gift on an area rug or a lambswool throw. Gorgeous.

  208. Gretchen says:

    Those cutting boards are making me drool! Love your blog – found you via your comments (ages ago) on apt therapy. Just saying your blog has replaced them in my morning reading routine. Love your style…

  212. Nancy S says:

    I’m graduating from college in May and will be making a big move from NYC to San Fran to work in the prop styling business!

    Wow, this is amazing, it took me forever to get to the bottom of these comments… Congratulations on a successful giveaway!

    I’ve liked Connected Goods on facebook, oops and I will also add it to my pages favourites after I finish here.

    I would find it difficult to choose, but maybe a scarf, those awesome converse runners, jewelry of course, that super cool eye glass holder, any of the textiles, or items for the home. AHH, see difficult to choose.

    Thanks for a great chance to win this Victoria. Happy Weekend everyone!

    Just “liked” Connected Goods! I adore the Tagua Bracelets, very bold and colorful. Thanks!

  299. Sarah says:

    Just “liked” CG! I love all of the colorful items. But since it is winter here in Minnesota, I am dreaming about warm blankets. So first, I would choose a cuddly sari blanket to give my sis so she can cuddle my new nephew or niece (due end of May!). I would also buy a sari blanket to help spruce up my bedroom with some color pops.
