***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!

One thing that is always better when I take my time is eating a Reese’s peanut butter cup: first I nibble the little spikes of chocolate that stick up over the rim of the cup, then I bite around the chocolate perimeter, then I eat in a slow spiral around the edge of the peanut butter & chocolate disk until it’s finally done.

Marigold Me Please!!!
This is going to sound so random, but I find if I take my time packing for an overnight or trip somewhere, that I end up bringing exactly what I need. Non of that random stuff that I would throw together in a hurry without really thinking about what I need!

Marigold me!
Stephanie H. says
Marigold me.
As a massage therapist, I have to go with deep tissue massage. I take my time to warm up the soft tissue before doing any deep work. It’s more effective and the client doesn’t wake up sore the next day.

marigold me!
I take my time when making decisions – especially relating to decorating. I think about how we will use the space and wait for that piece I love (fabric, a pillow) to base the design around. It helps me focus and create a pulled together room.

MARIGOLD ME!
I really take my time when making a new purchase for our house, almost painfully so! I hate the idea of purchasing something I’m not going to love in a year.
Laura says
MARIGOLD ME!!!
Any DIY project should be done slowly and carefully… “Measure twice, cut once” not only helps you get a professional look, but you will be much happier with the results!
Oh, and a good homemade sauce always tastes better when done slowly and simmered to perfection!
Emily says
MARIGOLD ME! I love taking my time while knitting to get a project right.

Jessica says
MARIGOLD ME
We just bought a new house (sight unseen) its been great to re-do things in the house and make it our own!
Sonya says
MARIGOLD ME! So many things are better when you take your time, but I’ll go with planting a perennial garden. It’s better when you take your time because you’ll undoubtedly find plants that don’t do well where you first planted them, and need to rearrange. Also, nurseries tend to stock what’s blooming now and shoppers tend to buy what is currently sporting pretty flowers, so if you continually add plants throughout the growing season, you’ll ensure that something is always blooming in your garden.

MARIGOLD ME
I take my time to put my daughter to bed every night.
She is nine and half and I feel before I know it she will be in College. I try to enjoy my present with her knowing that this too shall pass. Sometimes we just talk and sometimes there are bedtime stories but everyday there is a prayer of thankfulness!

Susan C says
MARIGOLD ME!
I love to paint, and I enjoy making my own wooden canvases. It takes time to build the frame, stretch the canvas, and seal it up, but the end result is worth the time!
Amy says
Marigold me!
I like to take my time giving my son his nightly bath. Ending the day with a slow, playful bath keeps us both happy!
Anna says
“marigold me”
May sound odd, but I like to take my time ironing. I know, I know, who actually irons in this day, but I do! I find it relaxing, and theraputic. If I have to mull something over, I’ll pull out the iron and board, and “think on it”.
Amy says
MARIGOLD ME!
Refinishing furniture! My heart tells me to spray paint or slap interior paint on top of whatever is already there, but my mind tells me to sand, prime, and paint in thin coats. :(
