Attention Moochers! Free Tassel!

Photobucket

Welcome! I am so glad that you are here and, I hope my prize is something you want. I hope my prize is better than most people's prizes. I also hope that your prize is something that I want. For those of you that haven't heard, you better fly on over to Rocks in My Dryer. She's hosting a carnival with a ton of bloggie giveaways! The link above is for her blog. The pink button at the top will get you to the carnival. Sorry, Darcy, it's not centered.

Now for the goods:

I've got a sweet little tassel embellished by yours truly... I do make and sell these at my lovely etsy shop that is pushed on my readers, I mean, politely advertised at the lower right side of the screen. More will be listed this week.

And, a jar of the famous upholstery tacks to boot! Yes, I know that it is empty. I promise to send you a full jar.
Don't they make a lovely couple? They were so difficult when I tried to photograph them. He kept trying to block her, what a camera hog.She wanted me to take pictures of her ALONE! She really liked this one -- thought it made her look all sexy and mysterious.They did not go for the Olan Mills background at all.
He is a little on the short side so, I tried to make him appear taller.
Finally, I told them to at least act like they liked each other.
That's better. Don't you want to have this disagreeable couple as your very own? I promise they will behave.

Now, after you read the rest of my blog, fall in love with me and my readers, and worship me for the rest of your life because you cannot get enough of my chic design talent, you can go post your own contest if you haven't all ready.

I'll pick the winner on Saturday, one entry per person. You have to live in the US because I am too lazy and cheep to ship exotic places and we all think that you are lucky enough and don't need a prize if you live in an exotic place. You know, like Canada.

Just leave me a comment telling me that you love me and if you are hosting a giveaway, let us know that in your comment too!
Yes, I know I said "cheep" instead of "cheap". But don't you think that works better for me?

Attention you crazy birds, I am noticing that many of you either don't have a blog link or do but there is only a profile with no email. I will not know how to find you unless you leave me a trail! If you don't have this stuff, leave your email address in your comment. I'll post the winner and if there is not a link, 24 hours later, I'll pick a replacement winner. Unless someone can track these birds down.

First comment! WOOHOO! Don't you want your sister to just win? That way, you don't have to ship anything. Just pick the winner saturday and hand it to me. Right there. Easy. Since you're so "cheep" and all.

You just crack me up ! In a good way though. I love your blog, you;re like the next door neighbor I've always wanted, but never get.

Yes I do love your blog. I have a new house and have a two-story living room that I could never afford custom drapery for, so I'm trying to work up enough courage to mistreat the double windows. You'll be glad to know I'm almost there. I'll be looking for fabric this week. This little tassel would be perfect on the chain on the ceiling fan in my bedroom! And of course I need the tacks for my new adventure. Keep up the good work - love your blog!

Mommy said...

Yes! Pick me! I've been visiting your blog since TCB nominated you. I'm working on my poof curtains now. Love your blog...WANT THAT TASSEL!

teri said...

This was my first time here, but I will be back. And, I love the tassel!

Melissa said...

I have never made it to your blog before, but I will most certainly be back! I just adore the tassel.

Meredith Uber said...

So I almost feel a little stalkerish, but I love your blog and would love some tacks. I am going to attempt my very own bathroom tack-up, as soon as I find some material I love! I will be sure to post a picture for you too!

Teri said...

I love you and want you to come to my house and make it beautiful like yours!!!! I have many windows that need to be mistreated :)

And, the tassel and tacks would LOVE it in my house

Hello! I just love your blog. Not sure how I found you. You know when we go blog hopping it takes you to so many places, that you just forget where you started. LOL! Love all of your window treatments. Please add me to your give away!! Thank you. Nicole

bonnie: said...

I do love you. I was thinking last night that I am so thrilled to be learning how to dress my windows. Mine are mostly naked (*gasp*), because rods & curtains are so expensive. But I can do sale fabric & upholstery tacks. I was wondering where to buy them (a fabric store...duh), but now maybe I'll just *win* some! Fantastic!

And I don't think I've commented before because everyone else seems to know so much more about these designer-crafty types of things...but I luv yuh.

(I did a whole blog post just on you! which is something, because I only blog every other week or so ;)

I love your blog, your talent and style. I have been a lurker for about 3 weeks and this is my favorite place to see everyday.

Well I've never professed my undying love and adoration so soon in a relationship, but it looks as if you've forced my hand. It's not just the fact that we share the same color scheme or that we decorate our walls with the same decor (framed kid's art, chalkboards, barn stars, silhouettes, plates, etc.), but I've always thought that a sense of humor is the most attractive quality of all!
P.S.-Have I mentioned that I'm tassle-less?

Anonymous said...

You are so talented! Love the tassel. I hope I win! By the way...your blog is great!

paperjunk-lc said...

I think you should change the name of your blog to Enabling Place. Since your post of window mistreatment all I think of is putting up fabric in my bedroom. I've given into the notion that I might can pull this off. I love your style! Got any ideas on magazine storage???
That tassel needs to come to Dallas to keep me company!!!

Unknown said...

Love the tassel and bottle and your picture captions are hysterical! I'm thinking of going with the old tack trick for my bedroom curtains and just have to find the right fabric in my stash!

I always find out of Shannon's giveaway carnivals from another blog (besides Shannon's because I don't keep up with hers as I should). I will be doing one again this time, but something smaller than my usual tote bag. Come check my blog often (it's not up yet but hopefully by the end of the day).

I LOOOOOVE your blog and you have inspired me ~ in more ways than you know. I have been a 'lurker' for a mth now and I'm getting ready to do my firt window 'mistreatment' ~ I can not WAIT!! Will send you before/afters but I needs those TACKS!! I loooooove your tassels too!!

Christie@tisbutaseason said...

I'm your girl. After spending crazy amounts of time on your blog last week, I am setting out this weekend to buy fabric to 'do the windows'!! We just bought our house in June and I feel like I've got more house than stuff. You are so full of ideas, so keep 'em coming. I need your help! (And I want those uhpolstry tacks & tassel!!) :-)

You make me laugh, I wish we lived closer because I'm sure we would be friends. I don't have a blog (although my husbands says I am dangerously close to starting one) so I'm not writing to enter the contest, but to tell you thanks for the great details on window mistreatment! I know it was a pain to photograph all those steps. I finally ripped my blue Waverly toile that had been in the bag for 2 years and I love the way it turned out! I tacked some of it to the back of 2 ugly book cases and used the rest to make "go behind" (that's what I call them anyway) valences like yours. I thought I was done, but now I want to add fringe. It makes me smile to see that beautiful fabric out of the bag!

Anonymous said...

just came upon your blog today. There are tons of blogs that focus on decorating HOWEVER most are geered for those who have loads of money...yours seems to be the opposite. You even talk about looking for old doors in DUMPSTERS..lol. I will now become a frequent reader.

Nester-
I have never won anything before. Does that line help me win??

I went to Hobby Lobby today. Trims were 30% off. Tassels were 50% off. I am about to finish those window mistreatments I started with the $1/yard fabric. I'll be sure to post a pic and link when I get done.

For now.. I have a date with Mr. glue gun.

Oh, and did I say, I've never won anything before?? Tis true.

I stumbled across your blog two weeks ago thru Creative Blog's (Kim's blog).
I have fallen in love with your home & style. I need to move in (I have a 17 mos old boy...we will blend!).

I am in the process of redecorating my humble townhouse ala cottagey/country style & I am doing it thrifty like. So I am checking out your blog for inspiration.

A tassel that you make would add a bit of feminitiy to my very masculine home....a hubby, 2 stepsons & my own 17 mos old boy! Oiyve! I need more feminine stuff! LOL

Great blog!

Gena said...

You already know how much I love your blog, but I'll tell you again. I. LOVE. YOUR. BLOG. I also love those upholstery tacks and I finally found some of my own - they even have little flowers on them. They're not showy flowers, but the same color as the rest of the tack. You know, just a little extra to look at in case you can actually see the tacks.

That tassel is beautiful. I can think of any number of places it would love to hang in my home. It doesn't have to be with it's short little friend. It can be all alone if it so chooses.

Hello! I found you via Like Merchant Ships here in Nashville. You are so talented! I am not blessed with the fabulous home talent gene, so I would love to win this beautiful tassel.

I'm hosting a Friday series of giveaways on my own blog through mid-February. This week's is for cute personalized dishwasher and microwave proof labels and tomorrow's is for boutique LittlePiddles.com

Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!
