There’s a really unique giveaway happening over at the La Cravate Du Chien blog.

Daphne, the artist behind La Cravate Du Chiene on Etsy, is giving away this absolutely wonderful and whimsical brooch:

To win, you need to:

1) Be a follower in her blog and
2) Write a little scenario in the comments on about what is going on in this house.

The best scenario wins.

Not only is the brooch darling, I simply love the creative approach she is taking to her contest. The entry deadline is May 15.

All of her work is just adorable, eyecatching, unique and wonderful, and I highly encourage everyone to check out her Etsy shop.

Here’s a few more examples of her charming work from her DeviantArt Gallery:
