Searching…
How is it that Tumblr STILL has such shitty SEO and yet Pinterest is at the top o my google searches?
While we’re on the subject, why in the heck can I not search for things in my own blog?
For serious.
Winner of the Cardboard Cermamic Tray is……!
iamdawt who said: “ My favorite item is definitely the Cuppow- Sipping Lid for Canning Jars. I saw it somewhere else a few days ago & immediately wanted it! Also, this tray is pret-ty nifty”
It sure is nifty! Thanks so much for playing along! If you could send me your contact info so I can forward it to the lovely ladies of Grayslater!
For those of you upset that you didn’t win, (and who would blame you!) you can purchase one of your own trays here. (And don’t forget you are supporting indie artists and businesses when you buy from Greyslater!
Speaking of talented indie artists, don’t forget to enter the draw for the forged belt buckle (that also opens bottles!) made my Metalogical. Do that here.
Giveaway Number Four!
I must have some good blogging karma because yet another amazing Etsy artist has donated a beautiful piece to The Storage Geek giveaway cause!
Chris of the very cool Etsy shop Metalogical has been kind enough to offer up this badass bottle opening belt buckle. “This unique buckle makes a perfect gift for that hard to shop for person and comes in handy at those parties or camping trips where no one can find a bottle opener!
Each buckle begins life as a piece of 3/16” steel. The 3” blank is heated in a forge to 2300 degrees and the circular opener is hot cut with a handmade chisel and carefully shaped with a hammer. It is then bent in a press, welded, cleaned and detailed to perfection, and sprayed with our low VOC environmentally friendly clear coat and our Rust finish.”
About Metalogical: An old school (think 19th century) process metal shop located in Florida, Metalogical makes some pretty wonderful things aside from belt buckles. My favourite (Probably because it makes both my inner storage geek and stationary geek happy is the Business card holder.) But they also make wearable accessories and decor items for your home. Chris is also a skateboard enthusiast who last year purchased Hello Kitty board or his little girl.
(The business card holder is not up for giveaway, I just love it dearly.)
Intrigued? Love the buckle? Awesome! Read on for your chance to win it!

Giveaway Number Two!
The giveaway for the Wallums did so well, it is time for another!
The very fine ladies at Greyslater have offered up one of these ubercool cardboard ceramic trays. I am so jealous! Seriously.
You might remember the tray from a post I did a couple weeks back. I told you about the tray being made by Chicago-area artist Tim Kowalczyk. But I didn’t tell you about Grayslater. Greyslater is a Chicago-based eco-boutique dedicated to supporting local artisans, small businesses, and manufacturers of made in the USA products. Founded in 2011 by friends Katya Siddall and Natalie Slater, Greyslater features hand-picked, sustainably-made reusables that are as beautiful as they are functional.
You can follow them socially as well! (And I have to say their blog is quippy and clever.)
Intrigued and want one of these trays for yourself?!Well you’re in luck because this giveaway is just as simple if not more so then the last.
