Awhile back {on May 29th to be exact} I celebrated my second anniversary of blogging. Somehow with the "busyness" of life the day slipped by...and preparing a giveaway took longer than I had thought...
But it's here now!
So...what will you receive in honor of this occasion?
First...two of our best sellers...our 'Spa' and 'Soaps' enamel bath bowls. These two have ever so slight imperfections...but are still quite nice...so I know someone will enjoy them...
Second...a bar of our Fresh and Clean Almond Soap wrapped in vintage inspired paper and tied up in vintage lace and ribbon...then adorned with an old Mother-of-Pearl button. You may just find it too pretty to unwrap...
You will also receive a set of four vintage tea-stained French flashcards tied up with seam binding ribbon...and...
a handmade burlap sachet featuring a vintage holy card image printed on canvas. It is filled with English Lavender grown in the South of France and comes ready to hang with a linen tie and adorned with a vintage button.
As well as the first set in our new line of notecards soon coming to the shop featuring Alice W. photographs. The winner will receive four ivory notecards featuring Alice's "Delicate" photograph, including four matching envelopes and wrapped in cello.
And last...but certainly not least...and because I just love my blogging friends so much...
I have preordered the next issue of Jeanne d'Arc Living for the lucky winner! {Also got one for myself while I was at it;)} If you don't yet know about this magazine...I must say...you are surely missing out. It is most certainly my favorite. The text is in Danish...but the amazing photographs speak in all languages and always serve to inspire...
So...how do you enter?
You can enter the following ways...
1.) Leave a comment here {with your email address so I can contact you if you win} and PLEASE...do not leave more than one comment on this post. {Additional comments will be deleted to keep one per person so that in the end it is orderly and fair}.
2.) Post a blog about my giveaway to be counted a second time. It must be an actual blog post {not just a sidebar link - even though those are appreciated as well!}, with link back to this specific post to count. Feel free to use any of the above photos to include in your post. You will need to email me at paintedwhitebyalicew@gmail.com to let me know you have done so. <--------A lot of people are forgetting to do this part...if I don't know about your post it won't get counted...so be sure to let me know! {And I stress again, PLEASE don't leave an additional comment here...it complicates the number system for obtaining the winner}
and our favorite method {but not obligatory}...
3.) Make a purchase at Painted White. Each item ordered during the giveaway time frame will count as well...so you increase your chances by shopping! And the more you buy...the more you are entered!
So...who is eligible to enter?
Anyone! This giveaway is open to those both domestic and international. You name and address will need to be provided once the winner is notified.
The winner will be drawn next Saturday, July 18th. Entries end Friday, July 17th at midnight Eastern time.
************************
And speaking of giveaways...my husband...{aka St Joshua} is also hosting a giveaway of his own...
The lucky winner will receive one of his best selling one-of-a-kind Remnants of Time rings. Check out his blog for details and to enter... http://stjoshua.blogspot.com {You will only be entered into the giveaway for this ring on his blog...not comments left here}
Best of luck to all who enter both here and over there!
***The giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all you participated!***
Till next time...
What a lovely giveaway!
Thank you for the chance to win!

Hello, Alice!
What a lovely blog ... and two years! Congratulations. I can tell I have a lot of catching up to do!
Your post mentions Jean d'Arc .... several of the blogs I frequent are avid followers of that magazine (that's why I have a google translate button on my blog!) ... If you are interested in checking them out, come by for a visit. Otherwise, let me know and I can send you the links of a few ...
Please enter me into your giveaway and I will let you know when I have mentioned it on a post.
Have a super weekend and thanks for letting me come by for a chat!
