Yay! So I pretty much *always* slack when it comes to picking winners for giveaways. I know, it’s lame. My apologies.

But! I finally have the winners (I used Random.org for the first time and rather liked it…sure beats writing names down on paper and drawing them from a bowl).

Here they are!

Monique: “Am I too late? I LOVE these!!”
Thanks Monique!! No, you weren’t too late…but only because I was.

Elisabeth: “I love the bright color! It is so thoughtful of you to give these away to your readers. ”
Thanks so much, Elizabeth!

Jill: “Love the wool flower!! I’m new to your blog and am head over heels in love with the new feminine flower rage….this wool pin is retro-gorgeous!”
Thanks for stopping by, Jill! I’m in love with all the flowers too – so many styles to pick from! And thanks!

I’ll be emailing each of you to get your mailing addresses. Thanks so much to everyone who entered!! Giveaways are so much fun, aren’t they?!

AND! Here is my last giveaway for a while. Also handmade, but not by me! This cotton bath pouf was whipped up by the fabulous and talented Shelly Bloom (who I know through the Phi Mu Alumnae chapter here in San Diego)! It sure beats the mesh poufs that fall apart after a few weeks of use. This you can just toss in the washer when it needs some cleaning and voila! Good as new. Shelly said she’s had one for over a year and it still works perfectly.

I particularly love the white, pink, and orangy-peach color combination…which is why it took me so long to post about it (yes, yes, I was close to keeping it, but since I got it specifically to giveaway, I decided it was the right thing to do ).

I have a few other things that I picked up as nifty gifties from Shelly at last weekend’s craft fair, but I’ll have to share those in another post (they are so adorable, you’ll love them!) If you’re interested in a pouf or something else fabulous, you can find Shelly on facebook, etsy, and via email, institchesbyshellyb[at]yahoo[dot]com. She does custom orders as well – blankets, gloves, hats, and so much more – and her prices are beyond reasonable (like many other crafters, she doesn’t charge nearly enough)!

To enter, just comment! If I’m being good, I’ll pick a winner on Friday, 10/16, so I can get it in the mail the same or next day.
