Today we reached our 2000th Sale on Etsy! *happy happy dance* and we want to celebrate just with our fans on this special occasion. So even though we are already running our "Win a Mouse every Month" giveaway, we're going to give away another mouse, just for our fans.
This giveaway is special because we won't advertise it outside of our fan circle (facebook fans, twitter followers and newsletter subscribers). Normally we advertise on other blogs and websites in order to encourage new people to look at our shop, but this giveaway is just for you. We won't ask you to tell your facebook friends about it or tweet a link to your twitter followers; It's not a marketing exercise, it's a genuine thank you to all of you who have supported and encouraged us, and to those who have been our friends over the last 4 and a half years on Etsy.
We would like to invite you to our virtual party to celebrate 2000 Etsy sales! To enter this giveaway just tell us what you bring with you to the party and a fun way you will celebrate with us. The best answer will win an ornament of their choice from our store, plus a few extra surprise items in your parcel.
Thank you again to everyone! We hope you enjoy the party.
Anna, Naomi and all the Mice

Woh! A nice party! I will bring a lot lot of cheese, for a special mice party! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh Cheese! The mice rush in and start nibbling right away. Sir Eeksalot the Knight mouse climbs right onto the top of the cheese mountain, he tries to claim it with a flag made from a toothpick and a piece of paper napkin.
DeleteCongrats! I will bring the champagne:)
ReplyDeleteYummy! What lovely champagne! Thank you so much. Chris the Chef Mouse is rummaging in a draw for the corkscrew...
DeleteI will bring the fireworks :)
ReplyDeleteHorah! Those look like they are going to be fun. We'll put them out of the way of little curious mouse fingers until it gets darker. The mice are very excited about getting to stay up late tonight to watch them.
DeleteCookies in an attempt to get all the mice to come home with me. If you give a mouse a cookie.....
ReplyDeleteThe plate of cookies is met with high pitched squeaks from all the mice! Some of them drop the cheese brought by Polina and race over to grab a nibble. Your cookies are so delicious that several mice promise to come home in your pockets so they can eat more every day. (oooh they are going to be fat little mice!)
DeleteCongratulations! I would bring some lovely brie and some gorgeous triple cream soft cheese from our local deli for the mices and I would bake you a cake big enough for 2000 candles... maybe a cheesecake *:D
ReplyDeleteA cheesecake with 2000 candles!? The mice can't believe their luck! They are tucking napkins into their shirts and licking their lips at the sight of it!
Deletei'm going to bring the homemade mix tape, done off the radio from the top 40 count down! that and toilet fixing with a paper clip skills (i always end up fixing the broken flush at parties!)
ReplyDeleteThe mice happily dance around to your mix tape, bouncing and springing off the furniture and squeaking with delight. Mice love music. They thank you for your toilet fixing skills too, after this party is over we might need them!
Deleteuuuu! Goodie! I am comming with the nightingales, my friends that live nearby my home, so we have their lovely music, to listen while we enjoy verithing: the brie, the champagne and of course the charming company!
ReplyDelete♥ ♥ ♥
What a lovely idea ioana! The mice are entranced by the nightingales and sit with their little mouths open as they sing. Then Harper the Carol singer mouse tries to join in and before you know it all the mice are squeaking away. I'm afraid they aren't very in tune, but they do look like they are having a lot of fun!
DeleteWhat a lovely idea! I would bring some pancakes with goat cheese and a load of sparkling champagne, carried by my friend, Mr Hedgehog, in his wheelbarrow :) Mr Hedgehog is quite lonely this time of year, because Mr Bear left for a week to join in a raspberry-picking competition.
ReplyDeleteYummy pancakes, thank you Raluca :D The mice are very happy to see Mr Hedgehog and quickly invite him to join in their mousy games. He won't be lonely any more with all his new friends.
DeleteSuper duper congrats, girls :)
ReplyDeleteMay many many more thousands will follow :)
Thank you so much Estella, come and join the party :D
DeleteSo many lovely things already at the party! I would bring extra tiny confetti for tiny mousey hands to throw, and itty bitty party hats, too.
ReplyDeleteHehehe!! The mice adore the party hats and quickly put them on. One of them tries to be funny and puts it on his face instead, he starts walking around making duck noises! The confetti is being thrown around everywhere and the mice are squeaking happily.
DeleteWhat a great and cheerful party it is so far. I am bringing a bottle of nice red vine and my favourite goat cheese with cranberries. And now dancing around with all little mice.
ReplyDeleteThe mice quickly dive into the goat cheese and cranberries! Some of the more adventurous ones are very interested in the wine, but Naomi and I carefully hide it away to enjoy ourselves, after all the mice are far too young for wine! haha. We think it is delicious though! Thank you so much.
DeleteCHEESE! Lots of cheese for all of the sweet little mice that will be joining the party!
ReplyDeleteI would fill a picnic basket with cheese. Wine and crackers. On e all of the goodies were gone I then would have plenty of room to take out the linen napkins and fix a comfy bed for my mouse from the house of mouse. I would fix a fluffy pillow and prepare the basket as my painterly mouse' new home.
That is exactly how I would celebrate with the house of mouse. Lisa jane
The mice ADORE picnics! They race over and lead everyone out into the garden to enjoy the beautiful sunny weather and nibble on your delicious goodies! Some of them are getting very full now so they quietly curl up on the fluffy pillow to have a snooze.
DeleteCongrats Anna and Naomi!
ReplyDeleteCan I bring my little son and a lot of ice cream?
Ice cream! The mice love you very much Natalka! They love your son too, they adore children and invite him to play with them on the trampoline. Look at them go! weeeeee!
DeleteI'll bring a tiny little mouse-sized camera so we can make photos of us all together :)
ReplyDeleteDavid and Lizzy the Photographer mice race over at the sight of the new camera. They adore taking photographs. They chat with you for hours about all kinds of technical stuff and at the end of the party they will get everyone together for a very special photograph to celebrate this special day!
DeleteCongratulation!!
ReplyDeleteI will bring fruits ! I will make some fruit salad and smoothies :)
The mice adore smoothies, in fact several now have whiskers covered in smoothy droplets! hehehe they do look cute!
DeleteFirst I would gift to Anna a picture frame with mice on it for Grannys picture,without the two of them I would not have had the pleasure and inspiration of these wonderful creatures.We would feast on Popcorn,seeds,berries,cheese,small fruits,vegetables and peanut butter with an assortment of crackers enjoyed with a flowing water fountain.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful gift! Thank you so much Kim. I hang the picture in a very special place in our home. The mice happily join you in feasting on all the delicious food :)
DeleteWow thank you very much for having the giveaway! Congratulations! I think I would bring lots of different cheeses. If you are having a party to celebrate your mice you need cheese!

The mice are always happy to see more cheese! They dance over squeaking their merryment!
DeletePosting for Victoria because blogger wasn't allowing it for some reason:
ReplyDeleteCongrats Anna and Naomi! 2000 sales is an impressive number of sales.
I will bring my two real bunnies, Winston & Melinda. They can teach the mice to Binky - a happy bunny dance.
victoria at victoriashearth dot com
The mice are all happily dancing the Binky with Winston and Melinda, they think it is the best dance ever!
DeleteCongratulations! I would celebrate by bringing 2000 tiny cannoli (because after all, they are filled with heavenly sweet ricotta cheese...and chocolate chips!) I would also bring many tiny cupcakes and cookies, maybe some s'mores...lemonade and punch (maybe a little spiked!) and party hats and stripey scarves for everyone. And I would transport it all in a mouse-sized food truck called Nibbles & Gobbles To Go. :)
ReplyDeleteThe mice are so happy to see you arrive with all your delicious treats. Some of the braver boy mice want to have a go sitting in the driving seat of your food truck, they like blasting the horn at everyone!
DeleteI'd bring cheese that I made myself in my own kitchen! Some yummy mozzarella or havarti dill. Cheese making is lots of fun, a wonderful combination of food and science. And I'd make sure there was enough for all the mice!
ReplyDeleteThe mice are utterly fascinated by the idea of making their own cheese. Of course Chris the Chef mouse thinks he knows all about it already, but the other mice are happy to see that even he has a few things to learn yet about cooking. They think your home-made cheese is simply divine!
Deletewow,
ReplyDeletei would like to bring chips! i hope they like chips because i like cheesy chips!
Cheesy chips! Perfect for our nibbly mice! They leap right into the bowl and come out covered in cheesy flavouring, I can see some of the mice now licking their paws and fur in delight. Delicious!
Deletecongrats guys,all the mice are amazing little characters :)
ReplyDeleteI'd bring my violin with me to the party, to help you all celebrate with a bit of music to dance to, and perhaps some of the musician mice can join in to really get the party going!

I'll bring the cheese:) Love your mice!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! A very impressive milestone- congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI'll bring the party games- a tiny twister made from a napkin and a little limbo set with adjustable cocktail sticks :-)
I already know the mice are good at musical statues ;-)

Anna, I would bring my husband! We were in Holland for the first time ever last month and we were going to drive to Amsterdam but didn't have time. Next year, we are going there. So perhaps then we can visit you and see where all those mice are born. If you had a shop I would do just that.

PS My mice are getting lonely, I think they need a new friend :)
I don't know about the mice where you are, but the ones in my neck of the woods do love getting a peanut butter treat, so I have to say I'd bring along some of my homemade peanut butter fudge...I mean, if they like the PB to start, why wouldn't they love it mixed with sugar?!?! I know we all would! Congrats on your 2000th sale! I just adore all of your wonderful little mice!!
ReplyDeleteI would just bring myself because "the party don't start til I walk in"
ReplyDeleteHello there! This sounds like a fantastic reason to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteI'd bring my pet rats to work as servers and barstaff. They're always happy to help, although the odd nibble may disappear their way too! And to help celebrate they'll learn to sing just like the mice from Bagpuss.
Hope you all have a wonderful time!
How about felt party hats that look like cheese?!
ReplyDeleteCongrats by the way! Great achievement:D

ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteI would bring cheesecake and we'd have a little dance!
I would have to bring my sons Reuben & Finley (age 2years & 3weeks)because Reuben is loving looking at all the 'squeeek squeeeks' as he is calling them! We would bring Jelly & Ice Cream...a party isn't a party without that! Another party must have that we would be sure to bring is pass the parcle, I can just imagine it now! Hehe

ReplyDeleteMouse-shaped jelly (you NEED jelly), a game of mouse trap, a cheese cake - that's a cheesecake, shaped like a wedge of cheese - a cat detection system (just in case someone wants to crash the party!) a disco ball and some jokes. Probably from penguin wrappers. No need for music, we already have the Beatles!
ReplyDeleteI'll omit the mouse costumes for now ;P
