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 601 – 800 of 873 Newer› Newest»I do love it all - but if I had to pick one it would be the pillow cover. Hmm, and that candle sounds like it would smell delicious, too!
There's nothing like walking into a home with a great scent to great you! Love the candle. Thanks for the give away and all that you do for your bloggers! ;0)
Oh my favorite item definitely definitely has to be the pillow!!! It is something that would definitely get moved around thru many rooms in my home...LOVE IT!!! LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
...and YES!!! I am most definitely a FOLLOWER!!!
i'm curious about that candle! the name makes it sound so great! :)
I always love a little visit to Life in theFun Lane…thanks always for your beautiful posts. I am loving the soup tureen. It is absolutely lovely!
The Voluspa Candle!
what a great giveaway!
I'm a follower. :)
I love everything, but I think the bee pillow is my favorite. My brother in law recently became a bee keeper and since then I have loved all things with bees!
I love it all! I am moving this week and had a garage sale to get rid of a lot of my knick-knacks so your bundle could replace all that :) but with things that also serve a purpose!!!
Pick one? it would have to be the soup tureen! It would probably never hold soup but I could find lots of uses for it!
It's hard to choose a favorite between the bee pillow and the music.
I just became a follower!!!! Whoohoo!
Pick me! Pick me! Pretty Please!!!!
I love love love that fantastic bee pillow.
I think the tureen would have to be my favorite, it could be used for so many things and would make a great addition to my white dish collection.
A great giveaway - thanks Holly!
Oh, and I'm a follower. Thanks again!
Everything is so beautiful! But, I think my favorite is the voluspa candle. I am an addict for candles and an even bigger addict for vintagesc pretty tin candles. In fact, I have been planning to make my way to my local Anthropologie to see if they have any. The rest of the items are lovely too though!
Also, I have been a follower for some time now!
Ooh la la! You've sold me on the candles a long time ago! :) The give-away is fabulous! Count me in!
Sorry for all the "troubles" of late..wishing you the best!
Oh good gravy it is all just lovely.
Since you have inspired me to purchase white chairs in a home filled to the brim with four little boys and one big boy I thought I should toss my name in the hat. I LOVE the tureen and have been searching for one for quite some time and you have wonderful taste.
I absolutely love it all! It is a tie between the simple white tauren & the Voluspa candle..they are my favorite. I have blogged about them too! www.dailytarte.blogspot.com

I would have to say that my favourite item is the candle. After getting a Mulled Wine candle from Anthropolgie for the winter... I need a new scent for the coming of Spring!

I heart the soup tureen... and the pillow cover. Maybe the tureen a smidgen more :D
I am a dedicated follower!
normally the soup tureen would be my first choice... as I collect them... but I love the french music!!!
normally my fav would be the soup tureen - be cause I collect them - but I love the french music!!!
Why, of course the tureen is my favorite. While I love decor and vintage accessorizing and antique hunting and thrift shop browsing, I love food. I love to cook it, bake it, and eat it. :) My first encounter with soup tureens was in Germany, where I savored a divine bowl of French onion at a family-owned place, run out of their farmhouse. Divine. Did I say that already? So to see these handsome ceramics on entry tables displaying plants, or in bathrooms holding soaps, or on buffets storing tapers makes my heart smile. The perfect marriage of cuisine and design. Now that's divine.
I love the candle!!!

What an amazing giveaway! It is all wonderful - I have to pick one thing???? Well, let's see, I love the tureen and the sheet music...I love it all. Since I'm a musician, I'll go with the sheet music as my favorite.
OMG!! What an amazing give away!! Love love love the sheet music... I just can't seem to find any around Calgary!.. and I just about died when I saw that the tureen is a part of your give away!! Ever since I saw your tureen with the paper whites before Christmas this year I've been on the hunt! I found a similar looking plant pot and had an amaryllis in it for Christmas!.. Love your blog!
ps... I'm a follower!
I love the soup tureen!
I think the candle, just because it's been so long since I've been able to splurge on something like that. But the soup tureen is a really close second!
and I'm a follower!
The sheet music!
Holly, what a great giveaway. My husband and I have a vacation cabin in a small complex called "Bumblebee"....therefore, that bee pillow would be right at home with all of our bee-u-ti-ful decorations!
What a great giveaway Holly! Well, I would have to choose the pillow as my favorite. My husband and I have a cabin that is located in a community called "Bumblebee". It would fit in nicely with all the other bee-u-ti-ful decorations!!
I love the soup tureen! I'll have to remember to collect some - my orchids would love to live in them.
And thank you!! Your candle of the month has inspired me to light a pretty candle while I'm working at my desk! Now to collect some as lovely at the ones you feature...

I thought about telling you that I grew up in a beekeeping village in the outskirts of England and that, as a honey farmer, I need a pillow cover that demonstrates my love for sweet honey, bee sting pain great enough to cause the ugly cry, and crisp white fabric. I have never actually seen bees or a real beehive. I grew up in a little town in Arizona. Still, I adore that stylish crowned bee pillow slip and I hope it buzzes it's way into my house.
Love the sheet Music!
Love the sheet music!
I became a follower! Would love to try the candle, like I said before :-)
