***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!

I can’t think of anything I really do slowly, so apparently I need to slow down! I guess I do slow down to practice tough passages on my instruments. :)

Janelle says
Marigold me!
Folding laundry…totally lame, but a neat stack of clean clothes brings a feeling of accomplishment. At least until a certain toddler knocks them all over.

marigold me!
taking the time (and energy) to grow a little veggie garden is definitely worthwhile. we added sugar snap peas to the mix this year and they’re a big hit!
Emma says

I find that when it comes to craftmanship – whether it’s fabric, food, or a DIY project – slow and steady always wins the race.

MARIGOLD ME!
I’m definitely a supporter of Slow food. Trying to grow a garden, and eat slowly and mindfully (although it’s definitely something of a work in progress.)
Things taste so much better when you slow down to enjoy them instead of shoving them in your mouth on the run.

Andrea H says
MARIGOLD ME!
I guilt, and I like to cook with whole ingredients. starting from boxes just doesn’t seem to taste as good, or feel as gourmet.

tara says
MARIGOLD ME!
I think getting ready in the morning always goes better when I take my time. Of course I also think that a nap goes better when I take my time. Being a mom that rarely happens, but one can dream, right? I would love to win one of these, so beautiful, it would fit in my quirky home!
