autumn giveaway winner
My goodness–is it really Monday already?! Forget that–I can’t believe we’re now in November! Time to start getting my head into the holiday mood (and planning…). I’ve actually got a bit of a jumpstart already with Christmas things: some of the gifts are already ordered! This is highly unusual for me to even have one gift purchased by the beginning of November. I’m notoriously bad about waiting until December. hehe!
Anyway, on to the topic you’re most interested in, right? lol. The winner of the Autumn Giveaway! Please give a round of congratulations to…
[ be sure to drop by Andi's stylish blog! ]
Thank you everyone who entered–it was so fun to read all your comments! I really love doing giveaways; I’m dreaming up some ideas for one around the New Year. One a season sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it?
Hope you all are having a splendid Monday! I’m off to catch up on my to-do list…


autumn giveaway

Hurrah! Time for a giveaway! It’s been a long, long time since my last giveaway! I love doing giveaways–it’s a way I can say “thank you” to all of you, my dear and cherished readers. You bring such joy and fun into my life, it’s a tiny way for me to try and give back.

This giveaway is for a charming, vintage bag. It’s a piece I found at an antique store recently, and was going to hoard for myself, but I decided would be the perfect piece for a giveaway. The outside is a lovely floral velvet, and the inside is fully lined. This bag looks a smaller than it is–it can hold quite a bit! I really love the pretty floral against the texture of the fabric–it’s so gorgeous! (Full disclosure: since this bag is vintage, it isn’t perfect. It has a few small spots, and the frame sometimes squeaks a bit when you’re opening it. But otherwise, it’s got lots of use left. I wouldn’t giveaway anything I wouldn’t keep in my own closet!!!)
To enter: leave a comment here (one per person, please) about anything you’d like–the outfit you’d fashion around this bag, your favorite blog, just to say “hi”… whatever catches your fancy! The giveaway will be open until November 1, 2009 (Sunday) at midnight. I will randomly pick a winner and announce them Monday (Nov. 2). This giveaway will be open to everyone–you don’t have to live in the US to qualify. Good luck dear friends!


giveaway winner!
Hello, my friends! I’m still very much under the weather, but thank you ever so much for all your sweet get-well comments and emails! I’ve been snoozing most of the past couple of days, drinking lots of tea, and generally being unproductive. hehe! I think I can safely write this week off as lost–as much as I hate to admit it! Blah! At least I’ve managed to do a wee bit of pattern drafting (though, considering the nature of my head due to the cold, how well the drafting was executed is left to be discovered. lol!).
I didn’t want to leave you all hanging, wondering who won the giveaway though! So without further ado, I’d like to announce the winner (drawn at random):
Congratulations, Heather! I’ve sent you an email!
Have a lovely Thursday, my dears!


bubble gum dress giveaway!
Chickdowntown.com emailed me a couple weeks ago to see if I’d be interested in offering a fantastic item from their website for a giveaway. Of course, knowing that you all love winning things as much as I do (and spotting a few dresses that I loved!), I jumped at the chance! Chickdowntown.com is an online fashion retailer that carries lines from 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent to Mink Pink. They also have a Facebook and Twitter to keep everyone abreast of their latest additions!
Isn’t that dress so, so cute?! It’s from the BB Dakota line, and I love the fact that it’s a knit (so it packs easily–perfect for summer travel!), but it’s still very sweet and pretty. I can see this dress down with some flats and a big-brimmed hat for the daytime. For nighttime, wouldn’t it look so gorgeous with a vintage fascinator and a big charm bracelet?! So if you’d like to enter the giveaway for this utterly adorable and summer dress, here’s the deal:
- You must be a US resident to enter*.
- To enter, leave a comment with an answer to the question below.
- Be sure to fill out your name and email address in the comment form (the email won’t be public), so I can contact the winner.
- The contest closes Sunday, July 5, 2009 at 12am (EST).
- A winner will be randomly drawn on Monday, July 6 and announced shortly thereafter!
Here’s the contest question: To enter, all I ask is that you leave a comment in this post and tell me your favorite summer fashion memory. It can be recent or long past, about something you wore or spent the entire season dreaming about… What your favorite summer outfit (past or present)? Or perhaps you took a trip that had a bit of a fantastic fashion twist? Tell me!
*I also wanted to let my international readers know that although this contest has been restricted by geography (per chickdowntown.com’s request), I have another giveaway coming up that will be open to everyone!
Good luck, dears!
