Bored with winter weather....join our online Scavenger Hunt!


Yes, we're having a Scavenger Hunt online, and we're not going to be fuddy duds about it!  We've never done this before...but isn't that what first times are all about!?!

We only have two rules - after all we want to make this fun! 
Rules:  
Everyone can play except CDS members.   One entry per person.

That was easy enough!!  Now cuddle up and grab your coffee, tea, or hot chocolate -- next is the really fun part.  I'm going to going over what you'll be playing for if you decide to join in.
Three lucky winners will win all the prizes.  This is what each winner will receive:

1. Person who finds the most symbols:  Antoinette mannequin from Couture Doll Shops plus donated items from shop owners #1-#7 is the prize.

2. Person who finds the 2nd most symbols:  Antoinette mannequin from Couture Doll Shops plus donated items from shop owners #8 through #13 is the prize.

3. General draw - all who send in an entry will have their name put in a drawing for this prize.   Antoinette mannequin from Couture Doll Shops plus donated items from shop owners #14 through #16. is the prize.

                             HOW TO PLAY
We're going to test your knowledge of our shops.  If you frequent CDS you should be ahead in this game!

 What you'll need to do is study our symbols that are pictured in numbered order below.  You will use the clue under each symbol's picture to find the shop each symbol is in.  Some clues are easy; some a little hard - but they all relate to the shop or shop owner in some way. Accumulate the most symbols, make an entry listing them all and the title of the shop you found each in, and you will have a chance to win!

Take some time to review the symbols and clues listed next.  You might even want to print them out to help you in your search.
 

Clues:  #1-Northern lights originals  #2-Makes me think of gossamer things


Clues:  #3-Dazzling creations of finest quality  #4-A flower by another name is this shop


Clues:  #5-Keeping it simply...darling   #6-Dress your doll or her boudoir in 1 place


Clues:  #7-2 sisters carving out a niche of their own  #8-This shop has just perfect fit


Clues:  #9-Would rather rodeo than sew   #10-Nothing little about this shop's style


Clues:  #11-Part of name means stone   #12-Even they have not seen Popeye


Clues:  #13-Shop the Orient online   #14-If you dream it, he can build it


Clue:  #15-Carrie Bradshaw would be right at home here    #16-OOAK dolls and fashions on the cutting edge

Jot down the symbol number and the shop name it is found in as you go about the Hunt.  When you are satisfied with your finds, click the vote button on the right to place your entry.  You will be transported to a page to vote.  There you will enter EACH symbol number and shop name you found a symbol in. After you enter all you found, you'll just need to click again and your one entry will be sent in.  It's that easy! 


You can do this Scavenger Hunt at your own pace because you have plenty of time.  Entries will be accepted all day Saturday 1/29 and Sunday 1/30, and until noon on Monday 1/31.  Then come back here on Friday 2/4 to view the winners - hopefully your name will be written here.
 

I think everything has been addressed to play this game, but if you need a question answered, feel free to:




And while you're visiting shops that possibly have symbols, don't surppress your urge to do to a little shopping - there are a lot of new items being featured in many of the shops this weekend!  Most of all - have fun, and enjoy your journey!
