~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Cleveland Handmade is hosting a giveaway to thank all our supporters and customers, as well as give you the opportunity to check out the high-quality handmade art in our members’ shops. This Cleveland-themed giveaway comes from the Terra Verde Soap & Candle Co.
Terra Verde Soap & Candle Co. is a handmade body and home shop based on the East Side of Cleveland, Ohio. We create in a both a dedicated studio space and in our home. Our company focus is to inspire environmental responsibility and promote complete product functionality, while enjoying what makes life smell really good. Our products are manufactured as efficiently and responsibly as possible. Our scent signature is unique & subtle. Our packaging is simple, minimal, and recycled/recyclable whenever possible.
Terra Verde’s product line contains a selection of both 100% natural and blended goods. We enjoy using essential oils in our products, but we also appreciate the benefit of fragrance oils. Aside from being one of the things that make life smell really good, a synthetic fragrance oil could actually be less damaging to the environment then the bulk harvesting required for just a few drops of some essential oils. Terra Verde strives for a balance between using both natural and science-based ingredients.
All Terra Verde soaps are vegan, and we use 100% soy, 100% of the time, for our candle wax.
The winner will receive two bars of Terra Verde’s signature Cleveland Gray soap (featuring Australian black clay & japanese peppermint essential oil) and a soy candle in the scent of your choice in an upcycled Great Lakes Brewing beer bottle.
There are just three simple things you need to do to enter:
1. Visit Terra Verde Soap & Candle Co. and take a look around. Make a note of your favorite item in their shop.
2. Then either visit our artists page or search Etsy for the “clevelandteam” tag and check out some items from other Cleveland Handmade member artists. Make a note of your favorite and which shop you found it in.
3. Come back and leave one comment on this post telling us your favorite item from the Terra Verde AND your favorite item from another Cleveland Handmade shop, and you’ll be entered to win. It’s that simple!
You have until Wednesday, March 24 at noon EST to get your entry in, so commence browsing. There’s lots to discover!
We’ll randomly draw one winner from the comments posted.

The lemon soap looks WONDERFUL! Lemon is my favorite scent (and flavor for that matter) hehe
The team is full of wonderful artists. My favorite from ConcordSoap is the ocean rain bath salts. They look wonderful, I just moved into a new apartment and really love taking baths in my new bathtub, probably why those bath salts are my favorite =)
What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity!

In the Terra Verde Soap shop I loved the red cherry Almond soap. I love to think how wonderful that must smell. It looked good enough to eat (kinda like fudge!)
I visited Whimsyfolk and fell in love with all the critters there. I chose Rosalinda Rabbit as my favorite.
Thanks for this opportunity!

I love the Lavender Mint candle in the reclaimed bottle. As for the Cleveland Team, there is so many wonderful things it was hard to pick one. I did like the aqua blue and sterling silver necklace and earring from Smashing. My other favorite was the Glass Sea Sterling Silver Bracelet – Wintergreen from Stonz’s.
on Mar 21st, 2010 at 12:46 pm
I love everything! Hard choice, so I just picked (almost with my eyes closed! lol)
I chose the Kumquat & Guava Fig Soy Candle in a Reclaimed Wine Bottle (sounds so yummy!), and as for the Cleveland Team – again a hard, hard choice! I chose Baby Love Hand Stamped Sterling Silver Name Necklace for Mom by JLynn Creations. What a wonderful keepsake gift!.
on Mar 21st, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Hmmm…have to say that the bohemian soy candle in the fleur bottle looks like my fav. The fragrance sounds delish and the bottle’s super fun.
I went to Urban Artifaks – and I’m torn between two things. The made-to-order initial pendant would make a killer gift for my sis or cousin (the sample even showed the “L” my sis would get.) But then my selfish nature started coming out – and I fell for the Absolutely Vodka recycled pendant. I’m a sucker for the romantic looking text….
on Mar 21st, 2010 at 5:54 pm
WOW!! What great talent we have in the Cleveland area!!
I chose from Terra Verde’s the Tulip Soy Candle and from sbevisdesigns #1068 the Waterfall Necklace.
Thank you!! This is a great opportunity!!

The mojito lotion bar sounds so refreshing from the Terra Verde Soap & Candle Co. From the Cleveland Handmade Shop, I really like JBird’s Garden’s shop. Vintage and vintage-inspired jewelry is my newest addiction (the rose garden necklace is my favorite from their shop).
