***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!

Let’ see…slow? Labor? No…not so much. Laundry? Not so much either. Better slow? How about taking time with super-glue…otherwise fingers end up glued togther.

AbraCat says
Marigold me!
I like to take my time when I read a new book. It’s tempting to rush through to get to the ending, especially if it’s really good, but I absorb more when I take my time and enjoy the moment.

maura says
MARIGOLD ME!
walking slow to dinner with my husband. (who reminds me to walk slow.) allows us to reconnect after our days and enjoy the sights and sounds of our neighborhood. it relaxes us into dinner, where i’m mindful about my speed of eating.
helps set the pace for the rest of the evening.
Margaret H says
MARIGOLD ME!
At work, I’ve learned that I need to take my time reviewing a project before I send it to the client. No matter how quickly the project is needed, it’s necessary to take some time to review it and make sure there are no mistakes!
Melissa says
Marigold me!!
It’s always better when I get to take my time getting up in the morning. Stretching & yawning, without an alarm buzzing – doesn’t get any better than that!
Jennie says
MARIGOLD ME! I always take the slow approach to cooking because when I don’t it always results in a disaster. Like the time I halved a recipe for Cheddar Grits but forgot to halve the salt. Hmmm, not so good!
Laura says
Marigold me! I think it’s always better to take your time writing a card rather than just scrawling something quickly that might not really convey what you’re trying to say.
Alecia E. says
Marigold Me!
Well since I’m 9 months pregnant right now pretty much all I can think about is my little one who is going to make her appearance soon. For this topic I’d have to say that 9 months seems like a crazy amount of time for this baby to be born but I know it’ll be worth it in the end and I’m thankful for the slow process.
