Giveaway from Set In Stone Shop! (this giveaway is now closed)

Mother's Day is less than 3 weeks away now and I have another great Mother's Day gift idea for you. Set In Stone Shop creates personalized stepping stones, concrete signs, pet memorial bricks and more.

Set In Stone Shop sent me this beautiful "Grandma's Garden" stone pictured below and it is so pretty and my mom was very excited to have it in her garden.

Set In Stone Shop sent me a lot of pictures of things that they can do and I wish I could have shared them all with you. If you look in the picture below you will see a concrete leaf. Set In Stone Shop told me that they use real leaves to mold these and there are so many different things you can do with them and many different sizes you could have them done in. They said people have used the leaves for bird baths, table decorations, wall hangings or even to put your keys and things on.

Let's learn more about Set In Stone Shop:

When did you open your Etsy shop? My friend and I started the Etsy shop in Nov. of '09.

Can you tell us how you started making Stepping Stones and Pet Memorials? We started making concrete leaves,which are useful as a table decoration, birdbath, garden decoration, etc. and which we plan to display on Etsy as well, now that spring is here I will have many leaves to choose from, as I use real leaves. We graduated from there to creating the stepping stones and bricks. I started out making them for friends, appreciation gifts for good friends, pet memorial stone when my friends dog died. Other people saw them and wanted them as well.

Do you take custom orders? A large percentage of our business is custom orders. Within reason, we can fit most anything onto a stepping stone, 12" round and the square is 11", 10" or 9" size. Bricks are 4" x 8, 11 or 14". Bricks can be a single word or multiple words in a set. I've made several "teacher" gifts as well. The teachers name (or coach) on a brick.





What is your favorite item in your shop? I find it hard to pick a favorite since many of the custom orders can be creative (one customer wanted"wiping 16 paws" she had 4 dogs and was always wiping their paws whenever they came into the house. The round stepping stone included their names in addition to 16 paw prints, which was an effort to create as their was only so much room on the stone..but I did it and really liked the way it came out.






Buy It - Mother's Day is May 9th and I'm sure there are many mom's and grandmother's that would be very excited to get a personalized stepping stone.
