Timeless Settings



Howdy friend!

We're finally getting back into the swing of things around here (I don't know why, but it always takes us several days to "recover" after a road trip- is that weird?)

So while we get after a few projects in the master bedroom room- we thought we'd host a little giveaway today.




One of our sponsors, Donna, from Timeless-Settings.com let me pick out a goodie from her online shop to give to one lucky TLC reader.
(She's a real sweetheart that Donna!)

I love picking out gifts for friends, and I really hope you like what I decided on!

It's a hand-loomed "Paris" dishtowel...



It's 100% cotton, and the colorful Paris scene is silk screened in 12 colors and framed with embroidery.
The edges are bordered with hand dipped rick rack, and there are 3 colorful woven stripes down each side.
(PS- It actually comes packaged in an pretty organdy bag, so if you'd like to give it away as a gift, it's good to go!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you'd like to enter the giveaway, swing by Timeless Settings (you'll love her necklaces too!) and then come back here and leave a comment on this post.

The giveaway will be open from today (Aug. 24, 2010) until noon (Central Time) on Friday, August 27th.

We'll announce the name of the winner sometime next week.

Good luck!

  2. Paris is all over my house :) Not as the main theme, but in little pops of color and design :) Love her store! Very adorable stuff!

    I especially liked the Jade Nest Egg necklace. I might have to order that seeing as I love all things jade!

    Happy Tuesday, friend!

  39. By the way, it usually takes us a week to recover from our road trips! especially since we like to milk out every last minute and not get in until late on Sunday night...leaving no time to get the house together before work on Monday morning. But it's so worth it. You only live once.
