Announcing the 2019 Tea Towel Calendar Design Challenge Winners
To say that this week’s 2019 Tea Towel Calendar Design Challenge was a brilliant success would be an understatement! A browse through the community-voted favorites and you’ll see what we mean. But first, let’s congratulate Mary Tanana, known as groovity in the Marketplace. Her color- and wonder-filled design, Irina and Friends Have Tea, earned her the top spot, not to mention a $200 Spoonflower credit, a $200 Roostery credit, and a Spoonflower Edition tea towel in her winning design! The excitement just won’t stop as we applaud second place winner, pennycandy who brought a special delivery to the Marketplace, and our first-ever tie for third place between sarah_treu and ceciliamok. These talented designers earned $100 and $50 in Spoonflower credit respectively.
