Fab Freebie: Glad Fifth To You
***This giveaway has reached our cap of 10,000 entries and is now closed. See who won below!***
It took you folks simply a little under 6 hours to push this blogiversary giveaway to its 10,000 entry cap, so we are here with an earlier-than-usual update on our randomly selected winner. That lucky person is… Britta (who is right now living in baby/preschooler world so she hopes in five years she will not “have to deal with someone else’s poop on a daily basis and to be able to sleep through the night!”). Congrats Britta!
For every blogiversary we try to do something special for that week’s giveaway. And this year we ran with the five theme and snagged five distinct $500 prizes for one lucky winner from a few of our go-to places: FLOR, HomeGoods, Joss & Main, Shades of Light and Z Gallerie. Which means someone’s gonna get a grant total of $2,500 to spend in celebration of our big five year blogiversary.
The five generous folks who are each giving away $500 are not simply places we enjoy, but also places that hold a special place in the our journal’s history (and future). In addition to being one of our first and most longstanding sponsors, Z Gallerie has dished out prizes for a blogiversary before – and was our first ever giveaway to break the 1,000 entry mark.
Richmond-based Shades of Light (also a long-time sponsor) has found their way into our home on several occasions (their local outlet makes us crazy). Plus we have an exciting announcement about them that we will be sharing soon (secrets, secrets, are no lively).
Joss & Main is a newer go-to of ours, and they’ve invited us twice to curate sale collections on their site…. so we will consistently be grateful to them for making us feel like real designers – even if only for a brief time. Haha.
While HomeGoods seems to find their way onto our journal fairly frequently (like a $500 giveaway for you folks last week), one of our go-to instances was when they helped us makeover a local family’s living areas for them a while back.
And last but not least is FLOR, whose catalogs is one of our go-tos to get in the mail. But more importantly, they are gonna play an essential role in our upcoming book tour. More details on that next week!
