Giveaway: Shabby Apple

As you know, I'm a big fan of Shabby Apple. It seems each new collection is even better than the last. The Berkshires is their latest line is inspired by "magical days when summer slips into fall and the air starts to smell crisp and clean and leaves start to color and apples start to ripen and it feels like the whole world is starting over again new." Believe me each dress is as lovely as this description!

The best news is: one lucky reader will win their choice of dress from The Berkshires collection!

The new series is aptly named in hues: Scarlet, Cadmium, Emerald, Cobalt and Coral. And now series one is available in a set of post cars too! These beauties would be lovely displayed in a set of crisp white frames--in your office, bathroom, child's room, the options are endless!

Maybe you'll bake cookies for a few neighborhood kids. Maybe you'll volunteer at an organization that needs help. What does your heart tell you to do? What could really help your friends, family, or community? Whatever you feel moved to do will qualify! Use your heart and imagination and make a great give!

Great Full Giveaway: Orange Beautiful

I've been a fan of Orange Beautiful for so long and once I joined the blogosphere and "met" Emily I became a bonafide groupie. She made me smile twice in the last week. First I received a lovely package in the mail with several neat goodies including the Do Something About It booklet I'd been lusting over. It is so fun to get little works of art in the mail. The booklet (and everything else she sent) is so darned cute it is going to take a few days for me to break it in.



My second smile came when Emily said she'd like to host a giveaway for you, my dear readers. And what's up for grabs is something I know you'll like and use: calendar anyone? Oh did I say calendar--I meant calendarS! That's right two lucky entrants will each receive one of Orange Beautiful's newly released Perpetual Calendars. I love the design of these modern calendars that feature varying typefaces. You can even pick from tan, red, yellow or blue to fit your taste. Believe me they are chic enough that you'll love to showcase one on your desk for years to come.

So how do you get your hands on a free calendar? Here are the details:
--Leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite month is and why.
--Be sure to do so by November 5, 2009 at midnight CST.
