One World-One Heart Giveaway "I'm In"

Photo

***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*** Comments have been closed. Winners to be announced Thursday 2/12. Thanks to all who joined in on the giveaway!


I originally posted about the OWOH Giveaway that was going on, and said that I would be unable to join in this year. (If you missed my earlier post and are unfamiliar with the OWOH giveaway, you can learn all about it by clicking the logo above.)

I've recently bought my first house, and (being the slow "unpacker" that I am) most of my stuff is still in boxes in the garage. But I just hated sitting this out. So I've been wracking my brain. Too much going on to try to come up with something that I could make and give away, as I haven't done any crafts for years now.

Then I realized that instead I could give away other items. I did a few estate sales a couple of years ago, and I still have a lot of stuff that I have never gotten around to selling. I looked in the garage, and grabbed a few things that I could find (most of it is still packed in boxes, too).

So here is the group of items I dug up:
Giveaway

Unfortunately two of the items above will only be open to US residents, since the weight of those items would cost extensively to ship internationally. I really regret this fact.

However I do have an item available for international and domestic participants alike. That would be this Dresden plate. It is a small plate, and about 4-5 inches across:
Dresden plate

Dresden

Dresden

It's really a lovely plate, and part of me hates to give it away. This Dresden plate is available to all participants.

The following items are available to US participants only:

First possible giveaway item is a doll by the name of Pamela.
Doll

Doll

Pamela is a really cute doll, but I'm not really a "girly" girl and don't get into the whole doll thing (quirky or whimsical or amusing or interesting dolls "yes", but cute and girly dolls "no"). I'm sure there are a lot of women out there who would love Pamela, either for themselves or for their daughter or a niece, and I would love to find her a happy home where she would really be appreciated.

Second is a patina cherub vase.

Patina cherub vase

It seems in good condition, as I couldn't find any chips or anything in it. I have no idea how old or "young" it is. Many of the things that I've picked up at estate sales have been quite old or even antique.

So here's the deal:

  • Unfortunately due to high shipping costs, only the Dresden plate is available for international OWOH participants. All three items are available for US residents.
  • To be included in this giveaway, please leave a comment on THIS post. You do not have to have an active blog, but you do have to make sure that your comment contains an email address or link to your blog so that I can contact you if you win.
  • You may mention which item you are interested in. You can choose more than one item.
  • Anyone who doesn't list an item preference in their comment will be entered into all three drawings.
  • Winners will be chosen by random drawing.
  • Comments will be shutdown late February 11th, and I will contact the winners on February 12th and announce them on my blog.

I may throw in some other things before this is all done. We'll have to see what else I turn up.

*Update 2/11* NOTE: Comments will close at 11 PM EST today Wednesday the 11th (I don't know whether or not I can stay awake until midnight). Entrants are being logged on a spreadsheet, each assigned a number, and the winners will be chosen by random number in three different drawings using Random.org. Winners will be announced tomorrow February 12th. Winners should contact me immediately with their shipping address. If I do not here from a winner within 72 hours, a new drawing will be held for that item.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy your ride on the gypsy caravan!

***WINNERS UPDATE 2/12***
We have our winners! They are:

  • malleycc (#119) is the winner of the Pamela doll
  • Layla (#55) is the winner of the cherub vase
  • Beckie Holso (#74) is the winner of the Dresden plate

I have contacted all of the winners by email, and posted comments on two of the winners' websites to alert them to their winning.

Thanks to all who participated this year. I look forward to joining in next year as well, but wonder how Lisa will handle it on her own if the number of participants keep tripling, and there were over 900 participants this year!
