Handmade Holiday Giveaway Day 4 - Danielle Todd Designs (3 winners...Coffee Cup Cuffs)

Danielle Todd makes the most beautiful coffee cup cuffs. They are really unique and have a vintage feel.   Her

sewing is perfect and she had an eye for picking the best combinations of fabric; most of which is upcycled.

I know how great the cuffs are from first hand experience.  I have ten, and I'm not kidding.  Everywhere I go people ask me where I got my cup cuff. In the morning I grab a green tea and before I got the cuff I was burning my hand every day. I tried the paper ones, when mine mysteriously went missing. but I missed my Danielle Todd Cuff. There is something very comforting about holding the cup in the cuff and it's eco-friendly.  They make the perfect gift and I will be giving them to co-workers this season. No two are alike and they are priced so well at $5.

Danielle has a really great Etsy shop where she features her handmade cuffs, vintage bags and purses, vintage housewares, patterns and books, vintage scarves, jewelry,  and all kinds of other cool stuff.                    

Danielle has generously offered to donate the coffee cup cuff of your choice to three of our readers!  You can pick one from her Etsy shop.
