WINNER! New York in a Bag Giveaway

Congratulations to Nicole who said, "So phenomenally darling! I want it!!" You are the winner of the fabulous New York in a Bag. Drop me a line with your address, and I'll send it off asap! To everyone else, may the Random Number Generator be kinder to you next time. :)

New York in a Bag GIVEAWAY

On Friday, J and I will celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss! Since we had, at one time, planned to spend our anniversary in New York City, I thought perhaps a New York themed giveaway was in order. I love MoMA's New York in a Bag. {So does Just Looking- one year we gave it to each other for Christmas, which turned out to be very confusing. When mine arrived in the mail, I thought they'd sent me HER gift by mistake. Hilarity then ensued.} 

If you'd like your own little rendering of NYC, simply leave a comment by midnight, Thursday March 26th, and I'll announce the winner on Friday. Good luck!

Untamed Menagerie WINNER!

Due to your support, my uncle's song has made it to the finals! Thank you all. I really appreciate it and wish I could send you all a piece of jewelry to show my gratitude. Unfortunately, there can only be one.... and she is:

Christine! Christine said, "I join the solemn commitment to vote for your uncle's song from now until March 2nd. And to LOVE my jewelry that I pick if I win!" Congratulations, Christine! Email me with your address and your choice of jewelry, and then wait eagerly by your mailbox. :) 

To the rest of you, I wish you luck in my next giveaway. Which should come sooner rather than later!

Untamed Menagerie Giveaway!

Take a gander at Untamed Menagerie's beautiful jewelry. It's unique. It's striking. It's quite melancholy. I love it.

They're made by a mother-daughter team, and almost every item comes in either black or white. {women after my own heart!}

I especially love the elaborate portrait silhouettes. Truly artistic.

Enamored yet? I hope so! Because this is less a giveaway and more of a bribe *wink*! All you have to do is commit to voting for my uncle's song from now until March 2nd. Leave a comment on this post with your solemn promise {honesty policy here} and I'll randomly choose a winner on March 3rd. The lucky reader will then get her choice of any necklace, ring, or pair of earrings from Untamed Menagerie's shop! Plenty of time to enter, people! Good luck!

Lucky, Lucky!

And the winner of the lovely Kerry Beary Alphabet print {by random number selection} is..... #17!

That's you, Em! You said, "I really can't choose which letter I like best-- they're all so creatively done." Congratulations! Simply email me with your shipping address and I'll  slip your package into the post as soon as possible. 

To everyone else, let me say that I am continually touched by what a warm and supportive community this blogosphere has turned out to be. Thank you so much for participating, and be sure to check out Kerry Beary's marvelous Etsy shop. Have a delightful weekend!

Kerry Beary Giveaway!

I recently discovered Kerry Beary's Retro Modern art shop on Etsy and fell in love with the bold graphic lines and saturated colors. 

I could live in some of her prints, with their Eames chairs and cocktail hours and fashionable women. And Vespas. Can't forget the Vespas. 

One of my favorite pieces is her Alphabet Print. I've always had a penchant for alphabets, numbers and typography, and I think that this particular print would lend such a stylish element to any nursery or playroom. My daughter fell in love with the U for Unicorn, but I like the Cat and the Xtra Terrestrial the best. :)

I hope you love the Alphabet Print as much as I do, because one of you lovely ladies will be hanging it on your wall by the end of the week! Simply comment on this post by Thursday, Feb 5th and the winner will be announced Friday, Feb 6th. Thank you to Kerry Beary for generously providing the print, and thank you to all you supportive readers who helped me complete my first marathon. You deserve a giveaway! Good luck to you all.
