***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
We’d heard of the “slow food movement” before, but not the “slow clothes movement” – until this week’s giveaway sponsor reached out to us. Saffron Marigold creates luxury Indian linens, and they make each tablecloth, bedspread, curtain and pillow cover very meticulously (both to safeguard traditional techniques and deliver a high quality finished product). Just think, all of these patterns have been meticulously hand-printed inch-by-inch using traditional woodblock techniques in Saffron Marigold’s Indian artisan studios. Pretty fantastic, eh?
And this week TWO of you are going to have a chance to enjoy TWO pieces of these slowly and beautifully made linens in your home. Each winner will get their choice of a lovely tablecloth or table runner…
…and their choice of a gorgeous and graphic cushion cover.
And while you’re over on their site browsing their stunning designs, be sure to check out the photo slideshow of their time-intensive process which details how they create all the unbelievably intricate patterns. It will truly give you an appreciation for the craftsmanship that went into these prizes. And you’ll also soon get to appreciate a sweet discount they’re dishing out (stay tuned for those details on Thursday).
So here’s the gist:
- PRIZE: Your choice of any tablecloth or table runner from Saffron Marigold, plus one cushion cover.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MARIGOLD ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us something that you feel is always better when you take your time. Maybe you agree with the slow food or slow clothes movement? Or you prefer to give lots of time to painting or a DIY project? Perhaps you’re just a slow and very careful driver?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 9nd at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the WORLD!
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Jean Flanagan says
Marigold Me!
Putting the kids to bed – sometimes I start out by trying to rush them but I usually end up thinking of how quickly they are growing up. Soon they will not want or need me to tuck them in, so why should I rush these precious early years?

MARIGOLD ME!!!

Suzie Reynolds-Crick says
MARIGOLD ME!
Playing with my 2 year old son is always more fun when I’m not rushing off to send emails or clean the bathroom. I have to remember to slow down and take the time to enjoy him.
Kiersten says
MARIGOLD ME!
my handwriting is always better when I take my time. and if it’s something written that I’ll revisit, I never regret having spent the time to make it look nice.

MARIGOLD ME!
I take my time making dinner. Usually, the longer it takes the better it tastes.
Nikki says
MARIGOLD ME!
I definitely take my time with food, especially when cooking meats.
Chelsea says
Marigold me!
Most days, I cook the same easy fast meals. However, when I get the chance, I love to cook slowly and make special things like bread, creme brulee, pies, ect. I recently made pasta by hand with a pasta maker. It was a long slow process but it was the BEST pasta I have ever had in life.
Ali says
MARIGOLD ME!
WOrth the time to do slowly and methodically? Painting, especially trimming.
zehila says
“MARIGOLD ME!”
Caitlin says
MARIGOLD ME!
I’m a slow clothes believer! My favorite self-made item was last summer, when I made my own convertible dress for a trip overseas… I could wear it so many different ways, and it really lightened up my suitcase!
Kelli S. says
MARIGOLD ME!
I take my time with major purchases. It drives other’s crazy, but I need to take my time to buy big things.
Nicole Z. says
“MARIGOLD ME!”
I take my time with everything I do. I just figure…why rush?
Cheryl says
MARIGOLD ME!!
I’m a knitter, so I go slow to make sweaters. But I also bake my own bread, make my own jams and pickles, and other crazy foodie things. I’m a homesteader at heart, I guess. I’m slowly making my way of the consumerist tendencies I’ve formed over the years… well, after this contest, of course ;-)
Melanie says
Marigold Me! I like to take my time when it comes to shopping, making comparisons and doing research. It’s a little overboard sometimes, but makes me feel better when I finally make that big purchase.
Tegan and Tage says
MARIGOLD ME!
Putting my 16-month old to bed each night. If I’m rushed it’s a bad experience for both of us. If I take the time to realize that there is no where I’d rather be we both enjoy it so much more.
Lena says
MARIGOLD ME!
I love to take my time reading a good book! dont want it to end…
Love this giveaway by the way!
Abby says
Marigold me!
I like to take my time cooking (or just give the food time – I love my crock pot!)
Emily says
MARIGOLD ME!
I love to draw, but I produce the best pieces when I take a drawing and convert it to a pointilism (millions of tiny dots making up one picture). It takes a looooong time. But always worth it!
Jessiebelle says
Marigold Me!
Slow and steady wins the race.
Ellen says
MARIGOLD ME!
rekha says
MARIGOLD ME!

MARIGOLD ME! my morning, pre-work process is always better when I can slow down, savor my coffee and catch up on the news before I head out the door.
Ann says
MARIGOLD ME!
I take time with my aging dog….
Lindsay says
Marigold Me!

my favorite thing to do slowly? eat a cupcake :)
Janna L. says
MARIGOLD ME!
I take my time when doing DIY, like painting trim and cutting in on the edges. It always turns out nicer than when I try to rush it.
Kara says
MARIGOLD ME!
Setting up the perfect photo!
Jane says
MARIGOLD ME!
I have recently learnt to crochet so that is certainly slow at the moment. I do hope to speed up but am loving the process of creating in this way!
Maggie D says
Marigold me!
Leslie says
Marigold me!
Sundays are the best when you take your time! A nice lazy afternoon sipping sweet tea in a backyard hammock. Nothing beats a lazy Sunday. It is meant to be the day of rest for a reason!
Bonnie Owens says
Marigold Me!
I like to take my time when reading with the kiddos. It leaves time for more adorable questions.
Laura says
MARIGOLD ME! I love to walk barefoot slowly and really focus on the textures of the earth under my feet. Warm grass is about my favorite thing in the world!
jessica g. says
MARIGOLD ME!
I like to take the evenings nice and slow to enjoy time with my husband and 7 week old baby boy. All day life is busy, and my husband is away at work, but our evenings are time to slow down and reconnect.
Valerie says
MARIGOLD ME! Lovely fabrics! I like taking my time when walking with my dog. While he investigates all the new smells, I take time to listen to nature, be aware of the change of the seasons, and feel the wind on my face. It’s all good!
Aimee says
MARIGOLD ME!
Gorgeous linens!
I like to take my time in a warm bath enjoying a good book.
Brooke says
MARIGOLD ME!
Painting, for sure. Nobodys a winner when I’ve done a rushed paint job which then usually requires hours more spent sanding, priming and repainting.
MeaganC says
MARIGOLD ME!
I think it’s always best to take your time when sightseeing on vacation! I love to just take everything in slowly and really see how the “locals” live! It makes the vacation so much better and memorable! :)
rachel says
marigold me!
those fabrics are gorgeous. omg.
i find it hard to slow *anything* down – i’m energetic and have a high metabolism, so i’m always on the go. but i have to say, there’s nothing better than a slow, leisurely, three-hour brunch with friends on a weekend.
StephanieKay says
MARIGOLD ME!!!!
I think baking is so much better when I take my time & enjoy the process!
catherine says
Marigold Me!
I def. think that food that has been lovingly prepared is the BEST
Rene says
MARIGOLD ME!
I always find that I enjoy my food and the dinner table company more when I slow down, putting my fork down between bites, and just savoring it all.
katie says
MARIGOLD ME!!!
As a college student I’ve found that if I take my time reading an article required for class I don’t have to reread it for the upcoming test. So now I turn off my tv, I don’t have snacks sitting nearby and I just read slowly and carefully.
tara says
Marigold Me!
I take my time when making art (graphic design)… but then sometimes I have to hurry to meet deadlines
Marissa says
“MARIGOLD ME!”
I like to take my time on walks. There is so much more to see when I walk slow, that I miss if I walk too quickly.
