Enter my Novica Giveaway!

I am so very excited to have the opportunity to host a giveaway from Novica!  I've posted about Novica before here, but just in case you haven't yet had the pleasure, let me fill you in on what this fine company is all about.  Novica works with National Geographic to provide a forum for artisans from around the world to showcase and sell their creations. What this means for you is that you have an easy way to purchase one-of-a-kind, hand-made treasures while supporting craftspeople who would not have had the opportunity to bring their goods to a global audience. Everyone wins!  

Shall we do a little shopping? First, some goodies for your home.

Cedar Cattle Bookends from Mali

Violet Fantasy Table Runner from Guatemala

Golden Tree Celadon Vase from Bangkok

And, let's not overlook some pretties for yo self!

Andean Inca Orange Ruana

Holy Cow I want this!  Brown Naga Leather Wrap Bracelet

There's even more good news from Novica!  They're now offering a way for you to sell their products in your own home!  It's a great way to earn some cash while supporting artisans from around the world! Learn more about the Novica Live program here.

And now for the giveaway details:  On Monday, October 29, a winner will be selected to receive a $50 gift certificate from Novica.  Here's all you need to do to qualify.

We have a Winner ...And Sharing Some Blog Love!

We have a winner! Thanks to everyone who entered my very first giveaway, so generously offered to me by CSN Stores. The winner of the giveaway is ... Donna at A Perfect Gray. Donna has a kind heart and a beautiful blog - a daily must-read!

In the spirit of sharing and giving, I want to share with you a few blogs I recently came across (I'm constantly amazed at how many blogs are out there, aren't you?) And so many great ones, too!

Have you seen the Ruby Blog? I love it (and not just because it has the same name of my beloved Basset Hound Ruby who left her earthly life last winter) .This blog has a very feminine and light feel to it, and it is full of gorgeous images! Blogger Beth Barrett also has an Etsy shop where she sells hand-crafted needlework. Here is a sneak peek inside the The Ruby Blog

And then from the Ruby Blog I found another amazing blog (doesn't one great blog always lead you to another?) called Much To Do With Nothing. I got lost in this blog for about an hour. The super talented blogger Kelly has post after post of amazing thrift store makeovers. (a girl after my own heart!) ..and they are fabulous! Here, take a look ...

Check them out! Oh, and as an added bonus, The Ruby Blog has info on a giveaway that features some amazing pieces from Wisteria... I will be entering that one myself!

Do you have any newly discovered blogs to share??

A Second First - My First Giveaway!

That's right, Chattafabulous is hosting its first Giveaway!!

Imagine my surprise when I got an email from Eileen at CSN Stores who approached me about doing a giveaway on my blog for a $40 gift certificate to one of their many online stores.   My excitement is exceeded only by the shock I am feeling about being selected to host this giveaway!


Some of their websites include All Barstools, which (obviously) has bar furniture from tons of great manufacturers (like Knoll & Howard Miller) and All Modern, which has any just about any kind of modern furnishing or accessory you could need to slick up your space!


So, here's how it will all go down:


First, you must sign up for the giveaway.  If you are already a Chattafabulous follower, (Mom), you are already entered.  If you are not following Chattafabulous, please sign up to do so and your name goes in the hat!


If you are a follower AND you leave a comment, your name goes in the hat twice!  Double the chance of winning!


Finally, if  you are a blogger and you put a link in your blog to my blog (Chattafabulous), your name goes in the hat yet again! In case you lost count, that's 3 times your name will go in my hat! (send me an email when you've done this so I know to add your name again to the giveaway.)


Contest ends May 14.  Winner will be selected by the super scientific "name out of the hat" method with the assistance of my 11-year old daughter. The winner will receive an email from CSN Stores that contains the $40 gift certificate.


So yes, the message here is I am willing to buy your love. Ha!  Now here are some cool pics of my picks from these websites ...
