Giveaway with CSN Stores! CLOSED

You've heard me talk about bathroom vanities, bookends, dutch ovens, saddle shoes, and now console tables -- yes, CSN Stores has them, too! For as long as I can remember I've wanted my future home to boast pieces both antique and modern, rustic and refined. Here are a few examples from allcoffeetables.com that caught my eye:

Quite often the focal piece of a room, coffee and console tables offer up a myriad of decorating and living ideas. I've always imagined that I'll use mine for displaying books, vases and the like. They're also great spaces for setting up a board game. Gah, I have to stop with all this daydreaming and tell you what's in this for you!

I've teamed up with CSN Stores again to bring you all another great giveaway! This time they are generously offering a $60 one-time use gift code to any of their 200+ stores! That's right, you can use it toward anything your little heart desires! I may be talking about tables today, but this offer is good for much, much more! If your item of choice is $60 or under, you've covered! It can also be applied to larger ticket items good for $60 off the total price. It's completely up to you! So, take your time and explore the sites. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what's available!

I will keep it simple again for entering this giveaway. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post! For a second entry, leave a link (in a separate comment) to an item from CSN Stores you like and would use the gift code for! Please note: only 2 entries per person and remember to include an email address (if your link does not direct to one) where I can contact you upon winning. This giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only and will run until Friday, October 15, 2010. A winner will be chosen at random the following day.

If you have any questions about this giveaway don't hesitate to email me at the address in the left sidebar. All pictures are from allcoffeetables.com and link to their respective pages.

Look out for more giveaways in the future. I had fun planning this one and can't wait to get some more ideas formalized! :)

Ship in a bottle

A few weeks ago I spent some time wandering around Jo-Ann Fabrics seeking out some bits and bobs. I ended up coming away with a packet of little glass bottle charms - one of which I strung onto a chain so it could be worn around my neck. What is it I put in the bottle? I am glad you asked. Inside is a small rolled up piece of wrapping paper, but not just any old wrapping paper! Look below and you will see it is of the antique map print variety. More specifically, the snippet of paper inside my necklace is of one of the ships. Cool, right? I thought so, too.



Since these cute little glass bottles are sold in a packet of two, I thought it would be fun to host my first giveaway and send a "ship in a bottle" necklace to one of you! The glass bottle charm measures at 1.1 inches (2.8 cm) and is on an 18 inch (45.72 cm) chain. Interested? Just comment below! Open to international readers. All entries must be received by 11:59 pm U.S. Eastern Standard Time on Saturday, September 12th. The winner will be randomly selected on Sunday, September 13th using an online generator. Good luck :)
