I’m hosting a giveaway from Novica! The lucky winner will recieve $150 of merchandise and you can choose from their long list of wonderful things! Here’s what I would buy:
Silver filigree earrings, ‘Four Leaf Clover’ $87.96 (These would look good on my ears 🙂
$58.99 – Beaded Zigzag rattan basket; (This would look good in my bathroom)
NOVICA is one of the leading fair trade artisan websites. They work with National Geographic to give talented artisans around the world a place to express their artistic talents and provide access to the world market. And they have thousands of top fair trade corporate gifts and home decor items on their website.
All you have to do is become a follower of my blog (in the upper right hand of my sidebar) and post a comment below! Keep in mind, the cost of shipping must be included in the $150. I’ll announce the winner on Friday!
Who else is going to the Design Bloggers Conference next Monday? I’ll be there Sunday by noon to get in a little shopping!
At the Sofitel LA Can’t wait to meet you!

Thanks for this opportunity to win something to gussy up my bookshelves with something other than books, like that celadon ceramic statuette of a stylized horse.
Or maybe some silver bracelets to wear.

I have been reading your amazing blog for months. Design has been my passion since age 16. I devoted my career to the environment, but never lost touch with this passion. I just “retired” and your blog inspires me as I create plans to make my next place lovely and elegant. Thanks for all you share!
Love Novica – thank you for running such a great contest! I'm a follower already.
Great prize! I have learned so much from your blog…you explain it so well.

Great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win something from this company.
Yay supporting you and Novica all in one comment! Hope I wil
Maria, not a day goes by that I don't check you blog for ideas, knowledge and inspiration. We're one month away from moving into our new, custom home and thanks to you it's absolutely lovely. Thank you.
I absolutely LOVE your blog, Maria! Could you be my new Best Friend? 🙂 The only unfortunate thing about reading your blog is that now I see things in other people's houses that bother me…pinky beige couches that look dirty, competing backsplashes/ countertops, 80's oak kitchen cabinets, etc. etc.
I would love an alpaca throw – reminds me of the time we spent in Peru. Or a hammock (the squirrels ate our old one!)
I am a follower and would love to enter! LOVE Novica!
A most excellent blog and a most excellent giveaway! Thank you for both!
I follow you on facebook and receive your emails (and read every darn one!)I'd like to enter to WIN!

Really Nice giveaway! I would love to go to your class someday, but in the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy the very helpful and meaningful education you give us on your site. I so enjoy your blog. Thanks so much.
Ooh, enter me in your give away please! I have been reading for quite a while now.
