Fab Freebie: From Africa With Love

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

This week’s giveaway comes courtesy of a new online gift boutique for women called Yellow Threads. They set out to create a place where women could find meaningful gifts for their female friends and family members- and what better way to start than with items that hold a special place in their hearts… and some that even hold a special place on their walls.

While honeymooning in South Africa, one of the founders of Yellow Threads came across a bunch of rustic, wooden frames made right there in Cape Town. She learned the company actually hires homeless locals to collect discarded wood that is then hand-crafted into these one-of-a-kind frames. Pretty cool, eh? The newlyweds just had to bring a bunch of them back home to display their wedding and honeymoon photos and- upon receiving a slew of compliments- they knew they’d be a big hit on Yellow Threads.

Now Yellow Threads wants to share a little bit of Africa with us, so we’re giving away this White Pane South African Rustic Frame to one lucky reader. The frame holds a 5″ x 7″ photo, retails for $115 and is truly the only one of its kind. Not to mention that Yellow Threads is the only retailer in the US to carry these rustic South African frames (check out some other styles here).

To enter, just comment on this post with the words “FRAME ME” by this Wednesday, February 11th at 8pm EST. And while you’re at it, tell us about an extra special item in your home that you picked up while traveling (one our favs is the big iron bull head in our den that we snagged at a North Carolina flea market). As usual, only one entry per e-mail address is allowed and we’ll announce the lucky winner (selected by random.org) later in the week. Oh, and this giveaway is limited to US residents only (but stay tuned for an international prize next week).

We can’t wait to hear about all of your worldly treasures and, more importantly, find out who’s going to get one more to add to their collection very soon.

We love hearing from ya. We try to keep it light & fun (it's only decorating), so we'll nix comments that are snarky/spammy (our moms are reading).

If you don't see your comment it's because they're manually approved (it should pop up soon-ish). Occasionally our spam filter eats one. Boo spam filter.
