The Winner Is...

Thanks everyone so much for participating! Hopefully we can have more giveaway fun again soon.

Sorry for the delay in posting the winner...bathroom reno chaos + impending layoffs = craziness. Hopefully everything will be in order soon on both fronts.

Crazy for the Quatrefoil!

Do you love the quatrefoil?

I do!  This lovely pattern has probably inched out the chevron for the top spot in my heart.

I hope to have a big ol' quatrefoil-patterned rug one day. I'm on the hunt for new bedding for our anniversary present (the second year is cotton!), and I've been searching in vain for a duvet or sheet set with a quatrefoil-esque graphic print.  Last night I spied the one above on an episode of House Hunters and hunted it down - it's from Williams Sonoma Home but is no longer available, which is probably a good thing because it was a bit over my budget!

So imagine how excited I was (and what patten I picked out!) when I found out I had won Sweet Simplicity's giveaway for a set of notecards + labels from Tickled Pink Ink!

I can't wait to write some notes with these lovelies (and use the labels as bookplates in my most treasured books)!  They are sooo pretty!

What patterns have you been loving lately? 

This Pillow WILL Be Mine

Recently I posted about some giveaways to win my dream pillow, and disappointingly, I didn't win. (Drat, in my quest to get an extra entry by blogging about it, I'm sure I reduced my chances. What was I thinking?)

Well, I'm taking that chance again because I my couch *needs* this pillow! Dream in Domestic is hosting a giveaway for any $50 and under All Modern pillow, and of course my glorious chevron friend is available in their store:
It zigs and it zags, and one day, it will no longer allude me and it will be mine*.

If you're not a fan of my love, here are some other fun options I found:

Enter here, and if you win, let me know so I can send you my address. (You're going to have them send it to me, right? Thanks, that's really generous of you!)

* Yes, I could go buy it myself, but I don't have $50. So instead I will be hunting down all pillow giveaways until I am successful. My couch will not let me rest until I bring this baby home.

Two Chances to Win My Dream Pillow

I want this chevron pillow so much that I almost don't want to share these giveaways for it because it could decrease my chances. But since there are two blogs hosting giveaways for it right now, I'm feeling generous. You'll win one and I'll win one, okay?

Enter here:

Sparrow's Nest - hurry, ends tonight!

Live Creating Yourself

If you win, let me know so I can be jealous of happy for your good fortune!

Know of any other blogs giving away this pillow from CSN Stores right now? I must enter them all!

Wii and Wii Fit Giveaway at La Petite Chic

I probably shouldn't be sharing since you're going to reduce my chances, but La Petite Chic is hosting a giveaway for a Wii AND a Wii Fit! How sweet would that be to win?
