Fab Freebie: Housewears

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.***

Ok, so maybe you didn’t get that bit of bling you wanted for Valentine’s Day earlier this month. Here’s your chance to rectify the situation with some personalized jewelry from Lisa Leonard Designs. She even sells home decor-related pieces like necklaces with a chandelier, paper lanterns, frames and a house key on them. If those aren’t designs after our own home-loving hearts than we don’t know what is.

Lisa Leonard Pic1

I’m not so good with the jewelry lingo, but word on the street (or at least from the pregnant lady standing behind me right now) is that Lisa’s hand-cut and hand-hammered sterling silver necklaces, bracelets and earrings are well-worth shouting “oooh, I love that one… and that one… and that one” in your husband’s ear. In fact, Sherry loved the earrings that Lisa sent her way so much that we recently bought a set for my little sister’s birthday. And they barely take them off (so yes, my sister and my wife are often at family events sporting matching earrings).

Lisa Leonard Pic2

And if you’re having trouble picking a favorite, perhaps this will make life a bit easier: Lisa Leonard Designs is giving away TWO $100 gift certificates towards anything in her store, so our winners can snag more than one thing if they just can’t decide. Plus if you don’t win, they’re generously dishing out a discount to everyone else, so stay tuned for that along with our winner announcement on Thursday. In the meantime, here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: A $100 credit towards anything in Lisa Leonard Design’s entire collection
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WEAR ME” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about something in your closet that doubles (or that you wish could double) as home decor. Do you display your purse collection for all to see? Do you swag a scarf over a hook by the door for some color? Or do you have a favorite dress whose fabric would look awesome as curtains or an accent pillow?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 24th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: All over the globe!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    oh, i keep crossing my fingers, i keep crossing my fingers and toes!

    i don’t know if this counts, but when i was looking to make (fully lined, to minimize light pollution!) curtains for the living room, i gravitated towards quilting cotton. i ended up with a 1940s repro and i love it. it’s a tiny pattern of white leaves on a red background and it’s perfect…anything bigger would just be too much.

    I’ve used some old baby doll tee’s with funky designs inside photo frames! I cut out a large rectangle of the shirt (when I’m need of a closet clean up!) and use it inside a decorated frame to hang in every room of our house! Nobody can copy my pictures and they are all personal because they are my favorite tees! Does that make sense? LOL

    We usually keep our laundry and such put away and out of sight. Funny that when I look across the room now I see socks that we’ve thrown off. They make the room feel cozy (although slightly stinky).

    I have a dress that’s a jersey material with a band of this silky chiffony material at the bottom. I love wearing the dress because it almost feels like pajamas, it’s so comfortable. If I could have sheets made with bands of both… mmmm, it’d be so comfy!!

    I’ve considered making an old t-shirt of my hubby’s with his favorite band on it into a pillow for our cozy (and casual) family room, but haven’t gotten around to it. I could also frame it and add it to the two other posters we have of the same band hanging in that room… (what can I say, it’s his equivalent of a man cave!)

    I had a beautiful pale yellow scarf that my grandmother gave me that looked way better as a topper over a white cutwork tablecloth on a round table than it did on me! It just wasn’t right for my coloring, but it was perfect as my bedside table.

    I love to ‘accidentally’ leave my straw-gardening hat lying around in the summertime. It looks so shabby chic (a look I love, but don’t have in my home) and gives the impression that I might spend hours laboring over my garden (which I don’t). Hee Hee.
