Blogiversar-A-to-Z: Freebie Winners!
Back in May of 2009, Z Gallerie taught us that four digits don’t fit in our comment box when they were our first giveaway to break the 1,000 mark. Now they’ve taught us that our comment box doesn’t even show the fifth digit should that craziness occur. Yep, 11,688 of you entered to win the $500 Z Gallerie gift card this week. Insanity.
But the hullabaloo doesn’t stop there. Z Gallerie was so excited by the response, they’ve upped the ante. That’s right, they have generously added two $100 gift cards to the prize pot (which means we get to surprise two runners up with a pretty sweet consolation prize right here and right now- along with our big winner). Thanks Z!
So on to those three lucky random winners. Random.org revealed that our $500 gift card winner is… Kristen (of the blog LoveK, who’s considering some new accessories and art)! And our two $100 gift card winners are… Sheri (who wants to take her place from drab to fab) and Christina (who has artwork, pillows, more accessories, and chairs on her list). Congrats to all three of you! And please let us know if you need any suggestions for spending those gift cards (“cough… ceramic animals… cough” says Sherry).
And if you were hoping that this week’s giveaway would help you trick out your office (but didn’t snag the win) there’s always next week. Stay tuned…
Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Z Gallerie.

I saw the comment number spewing off the image and I figured I had a better chance of winning the lottery. CRAZY!
Wow, that is a lot of people who entered!!
Congrats to the winners!
Out of curiousity which ceramic animals does Sherry have her eye on? I’ve been looking at the white ceramic turkey, personally…
Ooh I haven’t even seen the turkey! Lately I’ve been loving the big ceramic elk and moose heads for the wall! But John has firmly said “no” – at least for now…

They have the turkey in two sizes, and I think the smaller one is only $9. I haven’t seen the elk and moose heads, but I have a feeling that my husband would echo John’s “no”. If the cow from HomeGoods that I want to spraypaint white is still there I may be in trouble though, haha.
I never win, really. No self pity, I just don’t, and it feels it could almost be proven scientifically!
Yet I entered anyway… and seeing what the odds were, it actually just makes me feel much better than when I loose at the local raffle… believe it or not, those odds are way too high for me. I feel good, everything is how it should be!! :-D
Congrats to the winners!
Wahooo!!! I’m so excited! I honestly cannot believe that I won! I’m definitely planning to pick up a few accessories and hopefully a new art piece for our dining area. I’ll be sure to share some pictures once I’ve made a decision! Thanks so much YHL and Z Gallerie!! This totally made my day!!
^^ I LOVE the moose heads….I definitely think you guys should do it. Perhaps they will find a way in to your new home :)
Congrats to the winners!!
P.S. I’m thinking I should buy a white ceramic animal of some sort as a YHL tribute! :)

I can’t believe I won with so many entries this week, that’s just crazy!! Shows how many people love your site! Thanks so much to you guys for your awesome blog and to Z Gallerie for their runner up prizes!!

What wonderful prizes! Congrats to the winners!! I think I’ll be checking out Z Gallerie this weekend, even though I didn’t win.
So jealous! Congrats, ladies!
Congrats to the winners! This was a great prize.
I hate that Z left Tysons, do you know where another store is? We love our leather recliner from Z – it’s the perfect size! Love the blog, sad I didn’t win! :(
Just click over to their site for a handy store locator. Hope it helps!

I feel like I won because this giveaway introduced me to your website which I quickly became obsessed with. LOL corny, I know… Thanks for the opportunity!!
Sherry, I just saw super cute white ceramic elephant salt and pepper shakers at Anthropologie. I LOVE them – I have a thing for white S&P shakers, so it figures :)
Oooh, office…
I’m excited because AFTER the Z Gallerie contest I finally figured out what I would have considered buying if I had won – a white office chair!!
Sherry, look what I stumbled on:

Congrats to the winners! Erin, Z Gallerie has re-opened at Tysons!
Ok… So I saw that the $500 zgallerie winner was “kristen” and I got so excited…until I realized it wasn’t me. haha I think I peed a little! :-)
Congrats to all the winners!
There are lots of charming homes for sale in my neighborhood in Short Pump. Yards are a decent size and schools are great. We are just off Lauderdale closer the the board end than the Patterson end. Plus you are close to Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Ace, Trader Joe’s, oh and West Elem!!
HA HA! The entries didn’t fit, that’s kind of funny, but really its COOL! You guys are so eh-popular… I know you’re one of MY favorite blogs. I love too that you’re still so down-to-earth and humble about it all. You have AT LEAST almost 12k readers who LOVE you. How do you not burst with all the praise that comes pourin’ in?? :)
PS love the new blogiversary goals, can’t wait to see the slightly more chill YHL…
Aw thanks Erin. You’re making us blush. We have Burger and Clara to keep us humble and remind us they’re the real bosses around here…

Wow! Thanks so much yall! I’ve been collecting tearouts of my decorating magazines to figure out my style. I cannot wait to start decorating with Z Gallerie!
