a giveaway! [custom made 18” moss wreath]— NOW CLOSED

image

As you all know, I have a big mouth. I LOVE to promote items that I am fond of & trust me when I say that if you have me on board as a happy customer, I will tell EVERYONE [that will listen] what a huge fan I am.

Which makes me super excited to announce this fun giveaway I’ve partnered with my friend Kilbi to bring you all. Kilbi is at the helm of Kilbi Branch Designs and she artfully hand creates THE MOST incredible custom wreaths. Plus she calls her craft wreathin’ which is without a doubt the cutest thing I’ve ever heard.

Using mesh, burlap, moss, and anything else she can tie and intertwine, KB makes these incredible works of art. Her blog houses a slew of past custom pieces to give you some idea of what she’s able to create specifically for you.

And here’s the fun part…

Kilbi Branch Designs is giving away one custom 18” moss letter to one lucky Unabashedly Uncorked reader! Super exciting, right?! Above is the (larger) moss “H” Kilbi made for our front door. I’m pretty obsessed.

To enter, simply follow the instructions on the widget embedded in my sidebar (over there on the righthand side; Tumblr readers, you’ll have to actually go to my site) or click here for your entry options. Winner will be announced on Monday, April 15th.

Additionally, Kilbi has generously extended a 10% discount to all readers so be sure to mention that when chatting with her about design options.

Good luck and happy wreathin’, gang!

Who’s up for a little excitment on a Monday morning?

no- not you? had too much fun celebrating Sunday Funday perhaps?

Anywho… remember last week when I announced the fantastic Sweetie Pie bracelet giveaway c/o Dress? Well, I come bearing the results. And I’m particularly excited for this winner because she just so happens to be an IRL friend of mine.

[here’s a photo of the random number genie just so y’all don’t think I went and picked favorites or anything]

CONGRATULATIONS TO MS RACHEL MATTHEWS on her newest piece of bling. Send me your address dear and I’ll get this in the mail to you, stat!

Happy Monday to the rest of you. Make it a great one.

You all know of my love for bracelets. Narrow or skinny, gold or gunmetal, chunky or elegant…

you name it and I’ll wear it!

So it makes perfect sense that the next jewelry giveaway [c/o Pam and my fabulous friends at Dress] is one that I could easily add to my ‘stack’.

This darling Sweetie Pie piece is hand crafted and designed by Dana (owner) and is named Becca. It’s a chain link gunmetal bracelet similar to the gold rope necklace I often sport and the rose-gold vintage bracelet I wear every single day. Because of it’s versatility, this could easily be worn with everything from an evening dress to shorts and flops. Your pick.

WSo, wouldn’t this be a darling addition to your jewelry box? I’d say so.

Here’s a few ways to win:

  • comment on this post [either by using disquis or your tumblr account]
  • like Dress on facebook [and drop me a line to let me know you did champagnetoasts@gmail.com]
  • reblog this post
  • tweet me and let me know how you would wear the Becca bracelet

The contest will close to participants on Friday, June 22nd at 5:00 pm and the winner will be announced Monday, June 25th. Good luck to everyone…

and three cheers for Tuesday give-aways!!!

Okay gang- you all have waited oh-so-patiently for my blog-worthy news and- just to brighten up your Monday morning-

I’m very, very excited to announce that I have a brand new partnership with Dress- Raleigh! Remember that darling red maxi dress I picked up a few weeks ago? Yup, that was a Dress find. They also carry to DIE for designer consignment pieces [think Phillip Lim 3.1, DvF, J Brand jeans; really the list goes on and on…] in addition to a great selection of new merchandise that I scower their racks for on a quasi-weekly basis. Not only are they on the cutting edge of moderately priced fashion, but Pam [hi, Pam!] and her team are simply the most fantastic folks I really could ever imagine shopping with. So, it makes perfect sense that we partner to bring you, sweet readers, a fun giveaway [and much more to come!].

Above are a pair of Sweeti Pie earrings. These orange [hottest color of the season, y’all!] Bri danglers are a personal favorite of mine. They are light as a feather (made of wood and gold vermil) and would look terrific with a pair or metallic wedges and a strappy sundress.

Dana the designer is out of Chapel Hill and uses a lot of vintage pieces. Her line is entirely hand crafted. Dress is her flagship store and offers everything from rope necklaces to Czech crystal Pippa bracelets [mine seen here] and chandelier earrings. Pam has even generously offered 10% off to all readers for any jewelry purchases when you mention unabashedlyuncorked at Dress.

So here’s the deal; comment on this blog post [tumblr folks- you’ll actually have to go to my website and comment using disqus] for a chance to win these fantastic earrings. Care to double or triple your chances? Like Dress on Facebook [here] or tweet dress [@dressraleigh] and me [@ephorning] about how you would style these beauties. The giveaway closes at 5:00 pm on Thursday, April 19th, 2012 and the winner will be chosen on Friday, April 20th by a random number generator thingy [technical name here, y’all].

Great news to start a Monday if you ask me!
