Giveaway Winner + News!

Congrats to Melissa Dalgleish (of Heart & Salt), the winner of the jewellery giveaway with ILIOS!  I'll put you in touch with Kat soon to make your jewellery selection - you'll have to let us know what you picked.

In other news, I'm running a spring sale in our Etsy store, Minden Shop.  Everything is 20% off (coupon code SPRING20).  Some of my favorite items have sold . . .

. . . but there is still a bevy of gorgeous finds that we love, plus almost a hundred (!) more to be listed in upcoming weeks and months.  A little secret: my Mom actually snagged the little turquoise sugar shaker (made in West Germany) right out of the shop!  We still have a healthy variety of pretties, though, from the rare Sotka patterned Arabia cups and saucers to funky turquoise Fire King mugs.  We also have a cool mid-century purse made in Canada, three different sets of vintage Coca Cola & Sprite glasses (from a collector who worked for Coke!), a few pieces of Pyrex (of course), a sweet and petite yellow West German vase, Baltic amber earrings, mod pale pink salt & pepper shakers, and more! We try to have things in every price point, in many different styles (although that's going to happen anyway, with three generations of us finding inventory!).

For a little braggy blog news, my tile trivet project was featured at Glo.com!  It's always so fabulous when a publication or magazine you read features your work.  Click here to read the whole article, which rounds up the 10 easiest DIY ideas of all time.

My felted wool billy buttons also got a little love from Bridesmaid.com.  I love the idea of brides making these as favors, centre pieces, or boutonnieres - so sweet!

Finally, Knock Off Decor featured my recent DIY agate art!  

Well, I'm primed for a good weekend and I hope you have a good one too!

KitchenAid Stand Mixer WINNER

I'm so happy that you were all excited about the KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer giveaway - although I'm still sorry I couldn't include my non-Canadian blog friends too.  I'm ecstatic one of my lovely readers has won such a fabulous item for their kitchen!  Even if I'm still the teensiest bit jealous.  But it was fun for me too, because I loved reading all of your comments and hearing about what colour the quiz chose for you and whether it was "you" or not.  I also loved that so many of you also told friends and family so they could have a chance to win, too.  What sweeties!

I used random.org to select a winner.  Don't worry: I removed any comments that were a double or just an email address someone forgot to include in their original comment.

Without further ado . . . the winner is:  JESSICA!  My adapter blew (the joys of living in Europe) so I'm in search of a new one, but I'll be in touch soon so you can claim your prize.  Congrats!

A huge thanks to KitchenAid for letting Dans le Townhouse be a part of this fun giveaway!

Have a lovely weekend everyone, and come back Monday to see how the evil basement turned out.

Giveaway Winner!

I was super excited about my most recent giveaway because the prize was pretty substantial ($75 worth of outdoor patio furniture covers - sweet)!

I used Random.org to generate a winning comment: #12, which is from Lesley of Fabulously Flawed.  Lesley maximized every single entry opportunity (tweeting & facebooking & checking out the site).  It paid off!

Thank you to Empire Patio Covers for partnering with me to host this giveaway.

Thanks also to all who participated.  Sorry you couldn't all win, but I have a bunch of giveaways in the works so you will have many more chances to win cool stuff, just for stopping by the townhouse!  Imagine how odd this would be outside of blogland: "Hi friend, thanks for stopping by. Want some cool stuff? Okay, but you have to tweet about it first . . . "

Without further ado, from the 96 comments left on the post (wow!) the winner is . . . comment #28 . . .


 

Who left comment #28, you ask?  Dora, from A Drop of Indigo!



Congrats, Dora!  If you could email me (dans.le.townhouse@gmail.com), I'll put you in touch with Misty and you can pick out your pillow.  I hope you share photos of what you choose.

To my other lovely readers: I promise I will have other giveaways so you can have another chance at winning something pretty, just for following along!  Until then, is my sparkling wit enough to keep you tuning in??  How about a basement update?  There is paint on [some] walls, and it is not white . . . details soon.
