Participation in the Etsy Ireland St Patrick's Day Treasury Hunt is simple, but the task is challenging... *drumroll*

Starting 8 March, we will post a clue every day on www.facebook.com/etsyireland which will lead to a team member's shop. Find the word hidden in one of their pictures and at the end of the hunt, rearrange the words into a proper sentence.

Links to all Crafty Ireland team members' shops can be found on this blog in the drop down list under directory on the left.

After the last clue has been posted on 15 March, please email your sentence to me, Purls, at purlsofcolour [at] googlemail.com

The deadline for submissions is 16 March  at 11.59pm (23:59h) GMT. On St Patrick's Day, I will pull a name out of one of my woolly hats, watched by no other than the impartial bear, Judge Jacob.

Mo, who is collecting the donations from team members all over Ireland, will then be posting the treasure to the lucky winner.

Participation is open to everyone except the Treasure Hunt organisers (Letizia, Purls, Nadine and Suzie). Just to clarify, you do NOT have to be a member of the Etsy Ireland team to take part.

In the most unlikely event that there is a problem with a prize (ie one of the donations might not arrive at Mo's in time/gets lost in the post), it may be substituted with something equally gorgeous! So no worries...

Enjoy hunting for treasure and pleasure!!!

Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone!

The eagle has landed! The treasure box is opened!

Melody from Lemondadesun was the lucky winner of the recent inaugural St Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt (that sounds important doesn't it?!) and the box of goodies recently landed on her doorstep in Oregon, USA.


It sounds like it narrowly missed exploding at the seams as it was chock-full of Etsy Ireland goodness indeed.

She has a lovely blog post detailing all the contents, and I'm impressed by the amount and variety of everything within the beautiful packaging (thanks Ruth! looks great!)

Thanks again to everyone who took part.

The Winner is....

The day has eventually arrived, I can now announce the winner of the Etsy Ireland St.Patricks Day Treasure hunt...

drum roll please...

are you ready?.....

It's

Congratulations...I'm sure you will be Very excited to hear the amazing news.

Thanks to everyone who entered, I know it was tough, but the prize was amazing so we had to make you work for it. Thanks a million to all 13 shops who donated something to the prize, you were very good.

It's not too late to enter the Treasure Hunt!

Due to overwhelming demand, the deadline to enter The 2010 Crafty Ireland St Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt is extended to March 31.

Hidden in our members shops are 13 letters, find them all and work out the jumbled phrase and you could win over €150 worth of fabulous, wondrous, stupendous original goodies from a selection of the Crafty Ireland team. Wowzers! This is an international giveaway so no need to worry if you live on the other side of the world, we will still ship your prize to you.


Use the SHOP DIRECTORY listing on the sidebar to the right to start hunting through our team's shops on Etsy. The letter will be the last image of an item listing, and the shop will have a blurb in their welcome text letting you know if they are hiding one of the letters, so you'll know if you're in the right place. We've even given you clues to the next shop in the trail with each letter you find! The hidden letter will look something like the above image.

After you get your next clue you'll need to come back to the SHOP DIRECTORY over there to the right and scroll through to find your next shop, as the clues will be targeted on the shop name.

Once you've found the 13 letters, work out the jumbled phrase and convo Ruth at nicedaysupplies.etsy.com or email her with your answer:
ruthcrean [at] yahoo.ie
