300 Followers! You guys are awesome!! I can’t believe there are so many of your out there, reading, commenting, being on the journey along with me. After starting this blog, it took almost a year to even gain one follower. I had that one for a very long time after that. I wondered who that person was and what she was into – and I was thrilled she was out there somewhere, reading. Then, one day, a second follower appeared! I was ecstatic. To think there was a time when I squeed at 2 followers! (Then the next day I was back down to 1 follower. I took that really badly.;-)
Now this little blog has 300, and I’m so so proud. Thank you for being there and reading! I have the best readers in the world!
So to commemorate this momentous occasion – I’m giving away not one – not TWO – but THREE SETS of items this time – SIX pieces in all! Wow!
Accessorize.com has graciously partnered with Chic Steals to offer my readers a sampling of their Spring 2010 line. (If you don’t know about Accessorize.com, you can check out my intro post to the brand here.) They are a U.K.-based mega-chain of affordable and chic jewelry and accessories – hence the name. They’ve just introduced U.S. shipping on their website (and they already ship domestically in the UK and to much of Europe).
Here is what is available for the giveaway (in 3 sets):
(Note: the bag I have for the giveaway differs slightly from the bag in the photo…it has gold beads on the ends of the drawstrings instead of tassels.)
Rope Handle Beaded Carryall, ARV = 30 pounds ($48 US)
Large Flower Ring, size S (adjustable), ARV = 5 pounds ($8 US)
Triple Flower Gold Ring, size 8, ARV = 10 pounds ($16 US)
So…one sequined clutch, two boho bags, and three rings! (Somehow that has a lovely ring to it, don’t you think?:-) It’s over $190 of merchandise up for grabs – my biggest giveaway yet!
1. Follow this blog (subscribe thru Google reader, Bloglovin’, an RSS feed etc.). If you’re not a follower already, please become one! I’d love to have you here:-)
2. Leave a comment on this post telling me which set of items you want: the sequined clutch, the boho bags, or the rings. (You can’t split up a set – if you win the rings, you get all three!) Your comment must have an email address in it/method of contacting you. Don’t just leave your Blogger profile if there is no “Contact” option in it!!
3. Extra entries? Tweet this giveaway, post it to Facebook, blog about it, Digg it…whatever you like! Come back here and write the link to your posting in a comment AFTER your original entry comment. And you can pick a different item that you want the second time around…or the third time around…or whatever. You get my drift!
Any comment that does not conform to entry method will be removed. Sorry, but that’s the way it rolls.
3 Winners will be chosen one week from today on Friday, January 15, at 12:00 PM midnight PST, by Random.org.
Edit 1/16: Entry period is now closed and winner will be announced shortly.
Giveaway is open only to those with a U.S. or Canada mailing address. Sorry – I will go broke shipping things internationally if, say, all the winners are in Italy. I’ll be having a giveaway open to all my readers worldwide soon!
Please enter – tell your friends – and spread the word!
Best of luck to all, and thank you for helping to make this blog what it has become!:-)
xoxo
Carly
