A GIVEAWAY!

This post is published in partnership with Uncommon Goods.

 

I'm having a giveaway! In October, I will celebrate seven years of blogging! Can you believe that? I can't. To celebrate my Blogaversary, I have a wonderful giveaway.

 

 

When Uncommon Goods generously offered to send me something from their store, I browsed through all of their unique treasures. When I  spotted this beautiful US Map Pillow -- Birds and Blooms, I decided it would make a perfect Blogaversary giveaway. (I want you to know that I had the option of keeping this beauty and creating a post about it, and I'm still tempted to do that. Once this post goes live [if I decide to push that "publish" button], I'll be committed to sending it to some other lucky person. And that lucky person could be you!)

 

 

 

Isn't it beautiful? There are so many unique treasures on their site. I had a hard time making a decision. I know you'll want to browse their site. You can find pillows and more home décor here.
I kind of got stuck looking at all of the unique pillows.  

Are you lucky enough to have a friend you can go visit in another state? You might want to take them one of these great pillows depicting their state. (Or maybe you want to just order one for yourself.) I found this one in the Occasions/House Warming Gifts section. 

 

 

 

 You will find treasures in every category (and there are a lot of categories). Among the jewelry items are several pieces which can be customized with the map of your choice.

Looking for an uncommon wedding gift? I found this amazing "Thumbprint Guest Book" in the Art/ Style or Medium category.  I love this idea.
 

Have you ever bought a gift for a friend and then decided to keep it yourself? I have a confession. I have!

Years ago, I bought the cutest frog figurine for my friend who collects frogs. I purchased it several months before her birthday because I had found it on sale.  

I set it on a table at my house, and as the months passed, I became more attached to that figurine   more hesitant to remove the frog from what seemed to be a comfortable habitat for him at my house. I finally decided to get something else for my friend's birthday and let the  frog live at our house. Sorry, my frog-collecting friend, Melinda.

That's what almost happened when this pillow arrived (more promptly than I had expected after ordering it). I opened it to make sure it was okay and fell in love with it all over again. Then, I made the mistake of putting it on our sofa. Look, it's perfect. It looks like it belongs there.

 

 

 

 Then I tried it in the brown leather recliner. See how it brightens up the recliner? I think this 19" X 13" pillow could be used almost anywhere.

 

 

 

 

 I even tried to rationalize keeping it because it would be a good learning tool for our grandchildren.  Look at the back of it. All of the States are listed with the State Flower and State Bird. (Don't tell anybody, but it was a learning experience for me.)

 

  

I have reluctantly packed it back into the plastic bag and the box, ready to ship to one of my readers. (See how much I love y'all.)

 

 

For a chance to pry this pillow out of my hands, just leave a comment on this post.

Because I was getting so many spam comments, I previously removed the anonymous option from my comment section, but for this post, I am opening back up for anonymous comments. If your comment does not link back to a way to contact you, please be sure to add your email to your comment. If you win the drawing, and I don't have a way to get your mailing address, I'll be forced to keep the pillow for myself. 

 

On Friday, October 2, 2015, after a random drawing, I'll announce the winner. Good luck!
