Giveaway Week - Northern Lodge

Today's giveaway comes from Northern Lodge on Etsy. Patti, the shop owner, makes all kinds of rustic and primitive accents and accessories. Today she is offering her beautiful Autumn Leaves scarf, a perfect addition to your fall wardrobe!

Description: If you are a fan of Autumn, then the tones and textures in these harvest blend scarves will be perfect for you. A variety of textures and fall colours are blended together to create a soft, thick scarf. This scarf blends three yarns together-and the colours are like those found in nature-rich and full of life-yellows, reds,oranges, greens, golds and rusts.
Materials: acrylic yarns
Dimensions: 6 inches wide, 6 feet long
Retail value: $25


I asked Patti to tell us a little bit about herself and her work. Details on how to enter the giveaway follow the interview.

Tell us a little bit about yourself: 
Biologist by day, crafter by night and weekend...putting my ADHD to work for me. Avid gardener, and birder. Raised in NW Ontario, total tomboy, outdoorsy kind of person. Mom of three boys, and one girl-who also has a vintage clothing etsy shop.

And a little about the items you sell: 

Reflect my love of nature, and I do my best as a Biologist to create responsibly by incorporating eco-friendly materials into my work. 


What is your creative process and environment like? (for example: Are you a rigid planner or do you wing it? Do you work to music or silence? Messy or neat?)
I'll master organization in my NEXT life. Music and a nice fire crackling in the wood stove during the Winter. I generally sit in the woods to do beadwork.

When you're not creating, what do you do? I didn't realize that was an option.

Quick! What is your favorite: 
Cookie: Russian teaballs
Sappy love song: My Girl
T-shirt: something plain
Nail polish color: too girly for me
Vegetable: Red peppers

Where can we find you online?
Northern Lodge on Etsy, rustic cabin accents
Cabin Windows on Etsy, primitive antiques and vintage finds

Is there anything else you'd like us to know before we say goodbye?
When I first joined etsy, admin sent me a convo about having more than one person in my shop..I guess they never met anyone with craft ADHD before.
