RAISING ARISTOTLE

Lovely people!

I just feel so utterly silly at the moment that I have devised a little competition for you.

Here's your chance to be the lucky winner of the delightful Aristotle Otter and then you could be the one RAISING ARISTOTLE (and he's really no trouble at all -  I was exaggerating in the last post).

With apologies to the Coen brothers

ABOUT ARISTOTLE
Aristotle Otter is about 19cm high and has a very cute face.  He and his chums are part of Shark Alley's new hand-stitched range - entirely hand made by me on my sofa (probably whilst watching the Mad Men box sets).  He is made from brown and white felt, is stuffed with hollow-fibre polyester and has sequins for his shiny little eyes.  I would probably not recommend him for children under three, as they do love to put things in their mouths and may accidentally chew off his ears or something.
Aristotle Otter - a magnificent and noble beast

Aristotle comes from a large (and ever-growing) family and I'm struggling to name them all.



 So here's what you can do to help and be in with a chance to adopt Aristotle:

HOW TO ENTER
Think of THREE OTTER NAMES along with their pastimes/hobbies/likes (along the lines of the ones shown below for the otter keyrings - but better!)


You can post them on the comments section here on this blog OR go to Shark Alley's Facebook page (and please feel free to 'Like' it while you're there, if you haven't already!) and post them there BEFORE 1pm (BST) on FRIDAY 22nd JULY.  If you feel shy, you can email them to me at sarah@sharkalley.co.uk

I will agonise over all the suggestions over lunch, have a nice cup of tea and then choose Aristotle's lucky new parent.

The winning names and descriptions will be proudly adopted by these little critters in time for the Makers' Boutique market the next day on Saturday 23rd July.

We haven't got names - awwwww


 Thank you and good luck!

PS If you want to get your hands on your very own otter, go here. Free postage until 1st September!

Terms & Conditions
This is a fun competition - so let's all play nicely!
The three names and hobbies will be selected at lunchtime on Friday 22nd July and the lucky genius will be notified that afternoon and announced on here and on Shark Alley's Facebook page (if you would rather not be named, please let me know). As soon as you provide me with your postal address, I will post Aristotle to you 1st Class Royal Mail, or Air Mail if you are not a UK resident. Shark Alley promises not to use your suggested names and hobbies if you don't win, use or share any of your details or bombard you with spam (Aristotle hates spam).

    Darron Otter

    Darron has always longed to be a tradesman and is particuarly fascinated by plumbing of all variaties. Darron is at his happiest when viewing exposed piping

    Wellington Otter

    Wellington Loves classic cars. His dream is to fully understand the combustion engine. Try as he might (mainly through online e-learning courses)
    Wellingtons little otter brain has proved incapable of comprehending this kind of thing.
    poor Wellington...

    Tabitha enjoys the finer things in life (some would say an Otter snob).
    Tabitha loves cake stands and High tea. Floral patterns will always make her smile
