Better late than never, I am so excited to share our little giveaway! We wanted to thank you all for your sweet thoughts, comments and emails since the beginning of December (when I had my appendix removed) until today (as we mop up water and lament all the hardwork our floors will need). I am hoping that our string of misadventures is at an end and we can finally get back to painting, hammering and planning our next move (let's hope it is the closet getting done!).
But amidst all this you have been patient, caring and helpful and this is the best way we can think of thanking you: sharing a collection of some of our favorite decor items.
The first item is our candle of the month. Not the 70% used one I have been burning all month just in case you were wondering, but a fresh, new Makassar Ebony & Peach candle by Voluspa.
You may remember the other 15 plates hanging in our dining room until my giant mirror took their spot, but they will be making a comeback in the office!
The next item is geared toward all my fellow crafters! It is a 1940's book of French sheet music that has a few adorable illustrations like this one. I am a huge fan of paper wreaths and while I haven't had a chance to start on my own, hopefully someone can do this music proud! (we also have an alternative use for it in an upcoming post that is a little unique if you have enough wreaths already).
As you know, we love both plants and candles and one of our favorite ways to display either is in beautiful old soup tureens!
So of course we included a beautiful vintage tureen! But you have to promise to tell us how you use it.
And last but not least we have a 16x16 inch pillow cover from Sa-Sea boutique, identical to the one floating around our house (and currently residing on our bed). It is a whimsical touch that makes me smile everytime I look at it, and I hope you smile a little too when you find a spot for it.
So to sum it up, 1 lucky reader will win:
1 voluspa 3 wick candle tin
1 antique framed book plate
1 vintage soup tureen
1 book of 1940's French sheet music
1 16x16 inch crowned bee pillow cover
And all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us what your favorite item of the group is!
*** for an additional entry become a follower of our blog and leave an additional comment. If you are already a follower please leave another comment as well!***
Good luck!
EDITED TO ADD: The closing date will be Friday, January 28th at 8pm pacific.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 873 Newer› Newest»I love it all but the sheet music takes the cake. I've been having a hayday making paper sunbursts with old sheet music, but old French sheet music, that is hard to come by! What a treasure!

Hi Holly. While the candle is amazing, the tureen is calling out for some paperwhites, is it not?
and of course I follow your blog!
It is a toss up between the soup tureen and the candle. But I think the candle wins as I love the glow of candlelight!
Thanks for the opportunity for this lovely giveaway!
Oh that soup tureen is divine! {So sorry about all your misadventures....hoping for better days ahead for you!}

Also love voluspia candles
i love the sheet music...such potential!
i follow on google reader...does that count?
I already have a spot waiting for the candle! I just completed decorating my office and need a delicious candle burning while I study.
I have been a follower and also a neighbor! Hubby works in Palm Springs and we just bought a house in Beaumont after living in Palm Desert/ La Quinta :)
The pillow would look fabulous in my living room :)
Oh my goodness, what a generous, awesome giveaway package! I've seen giveaways before, but possibly none with so many treasures in one! I've always loved antique bookplates, especially of marine biology! So that's quite a prize. But maybe in this case my favorite thing is the sheet music...I love French (my voicemail is in French right now), and the adorable illustrations makes me covet it so! Thanks for even offering all this to one of us! :)
PS- I'm a follower! And I don't know if I've ever wanted to win a blog giveaway more, before.

I need that soup tureen! My entry hall table is calling out for it and some nice greenery that shall be planted in there! I'd love the candle too. It would help mask the smell of my dog : )
This is so generous!! I have to admit, I've been a bit green-eyed since you mentioned finding the French sheet music. I am a piano player and music lover, and I so wanted to take a peek!!
I love the vintage tureen - so many different uses!
Oh! And, I'm a follower, so my second favorite thing is probably the candle, just because I can't wait to take a whiff!!
I would love the soup tureen! My entry hall table is calling out for it and a lovely plant to go in it!

I love the Queen Bee pillow. It would look beautiful in my bedroom. Thank you for the chance to win. Fingers crossed!
I follow your blog. thanks for the chance to win such a lovely giveaway!
It's hard to pick between the pillow & the sheet music. It's also hard to decide which awesome project to pick using the sheet music!
My favorite is definitely the book plate.....I loooove it! But, all the other goodies are fabulous too!
I'm a follower! :)
This is an awesome giveaway! I've been searching for that candle ever since you mentioned it and I'm a huge fan of old sheet music and coral!
It's hard to pick a favorite but I have been in love with those book plates since you first showed them! But truthfully, I love everything in this giveaway.
I really like the sour tureen.
I like the pillow cover!

I follow you
I love the vintage soup tureen and the music sheets the very best. Great give away, Holly!
I am now an official follower!
I love it all but especially the pillow cover!
I think my favorite is the French Sheet music. But mostly beause I'm a music nerd- I don't know that I could use it for a craft, but I'd love to try and play it :)
What a beautiful giveaway! It's a tough call because I've been admiring & wanting some of each of the vintage items - bookplates, sheet music & I love what you do with your tureens. I guess the bookplate is my fave - it's so colorful & I need to mix up my wall decor.
i'm a follower too, you're on my Google Reader list!
Wow,Jackpot! What a great offering. I love them all but I guess if I have to choose it might be the soup tureen or the candle or the music...See hard to choose!
Thanks so much!
Also, I have been a follower for quite some time!
LOVE.LOVE. the tureen!
awesome giveaway! love the soup tureen.

Oh I would love the candle! What a fantastic giveaway! Thanks.
Wendy-
I would love the vintage soup toureen but it all looks great...also love the book plate. Love your blog and glad you are feeling better.
The candle looks delicious!
My husband and I love your blog! We decided to start our own "candle of the month" tradition and I would LOVE to surprise him with that beautiful candle! Good luck with your renovations!!
My favorite is the framed book plate, because while I live in the land locked state of South Dakota I long for the ocean. Like you two I have a standard home that we are slowing making our own and giving a personality to. I love art work, new and old and love to incorporate beach items from my home state of California or favorite vacation location of Martha's Vineyard. Anything to bring my mind back to the peacefulness of the water on my feet.
What a wonderful giveaway - LOVE the book plate especially. It reminds me of the prints I've bought from geninne (have you ever seen her beautiful prints on etsy?).

Forgive the texting shorthand...but...OMG!;) I am in love with every piece! If I had to pick a favorite it would be the crowned bee pillow cover...I am slightly obsessed with crowns as it is. The soup toureen is lovely as well, everything is! I love reading your blog everyday...I must tell you, I get a little down when I click on your link and do not find a new post;). Thanks for the opportunity to win such fabulous items!
