Sea Bags Giveaway!


Update! We are getting such a great response from all our friends and followers, we have decided to extend the giveaway through Monday, May 24th (be sure to leave a comment before midnight on Monday!). Now you can spread the word to all your friends to stop on by our blog this weekend for their chance to win! Good Luck to everyone!


Remember when we announced that we had just received our first order of Sea Bags in the store? Well, I cannot even express how fantastic they are! Soooo, we decided we would treat one lucky reader to a large Sea Bag of their choice! Sea Bags are custom totes made from recycled sails. Their slogan is "Sailed around the world, recycled in Maine." If you don't know about them already, I promise you will love them. Great to take to the beach, on a picnic, to yoga or even use as a diaper bag (and great to take sailing, too... obviously). So, take a peek for yourself...

They have been written up in just about every magazine and everyone simply gushes over them. Coastal Living, Domino and Lucky to mention a few (O magazine, Elle, Vanity Fair, Real Simple, Vogue... to name a few more).


This time we have decided to give you a few ways to enter our giveaway.
1. Become a follower and leave a comment telling us you did so (and, of course, if you are already a faithful follower, all you have to do is leave a comment saying so, as well).
2. Blog, tweet or facebook about this giveaway and leave another comment saying you did so (with a link) on this post.

Sound good? Do all those things and up your chances 4 times to win!

Do any or all of these things by midnight on Friday, May 21st (updated to Monday, May 24th) for your chance to win. We will announce the winner on Monday, May 24th (updated to Tuesday, May 25th).
Good Luck! And don't forget to tell all your friends!

And as a little surprise on the side, I decided I wanted to do something for all the lovely readers who take time to leave sweet little comments. I absolutely love getting and reading each and every comment and wanted to do something special for you ladies. Thus, I have also planned a little surprise giveaway. If you have left a comment on the blog between April 19 ("almost in the clear") and May 11 ("our first saturday flea market"), then you have already been entered in a giveaway for one of these fantastic Sea Bags' wine totes. I really love this little prize and it is just my way of saying thanks for your thoughtfulness! So, we've written down all your names and we will announce the winner of this giveaway Monday, May 24th, as well! Thanks again!
