THIS CONTEST IS NOW OVER! THANKS!!!!
Congratulations dymphna!!!! You’re the winner of the Mochi purse charm!
Interested in my other monthly giveaways? Sign up for Roscata’s Stuff Club mailing list to be notified of future contests and giveaways. Just send me an e-mail or go to my Etsy store and send a convo!
I’ve been so busy doing a ton of custom orders that I almost forgot that it’s giveaway time!!!
So this month, I’m giving away a totally cute mochi purse charm (or keychain)! If you’ve never had mochi before, you’re missing out. Most people have it in ice cream but my favorite way when it’s wrapped around some sweet red bean paste and then covered in black roasted sesame seeds (called daifuku) – YUM!
Mochi is made from cooked rice that’s pounded and when done, the result is this chewy yummy Japanese treat, similar in texture to a marshmallow! Mochi can be sweet (perfectly not-too-sweet) and used in tons of desserts and snacks or even unsweetened and added to savory dishes. Monjayaki with cheese, mochi and spicy cod roe from GajaMoc (in Lomita, CA) or takoyaki with mochi and cheese from Asa Ramen (in Gardena, CA) are some of my favorites… Geez, I’m making myself hungry, um… back to the giveaway!
For all mochi-lovers out there, I’ve created a little purse charm / key chain with some traditional mochi treats – a mochi bunny, green tea mochi, pink mochi flower, mochi folded over sweet red bean paste, mochi with sweet red beans and a fresh juicy strawberry, and three flavors of mochi on a stick.
So here are the rules…
Be sure to include your e-mail address, website or blog link so if you win, I’ll be able to contact you! You can leave separate comments or put everything in one comment. Either way is fine with me.

I only got to vend at two other Los Angeles Derby Dolls bouts and this will be my last one <sniff… sniff…>. They were a ton of fun to attend and the people that go to the bouts are really awesome. Today I am finally going to list a ton of stuff (UGH!) that I created for Patchwork on my Etsy shop and have just sitting around the house. There are a ton of really cute sundae parfait ice cream necklaces that are totally cute! I posted pretty much everything on my Flickr page including my jellybean charm bracelet and earrings, banana strawberry sundae necklace, citrus parfait necklace, green tea icecream with mochi Japanese parfait, sushi cell phone charm, doughnut shoppe purse charm, my fun chocolate fudge ice cream popsicle keychains (or purse charms), and tons of other stuff!
