Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Blast From The Past

| By John Petersik | March 9, 2009 | 457 Comments

Fab Freebie: Blast From The Past

It’s Monday. Or, as we like to call it: Giveaway Day.

This week’s prize comes from Sweetshorn Vintage, a truly one-of-a-kind Etsy shop that boasts an eclectic collection of old school goodies. Their fun mixture of home decor, art and “tiny treasures” are sure to inject equal parts fun, quirk and retro style to your home.

We couldn’t do this unique shop justice by offering up just one prize – so we’ve got four that our winner can choose from. There’s a Pair of Porcelain Birds or a Trio of Tiered Vases that would look great atop a bookshelf. Or if kitchen decor is on your mind lately, you can pick a Set of Five Mod Glasses (they’re so Mrs. Robinson) or the Copper Anchor Plate (Sherry is dying over this one). In short: no matter what the winner chooses, they can’t go wrong.

To enter, just comment on this post with the words “I’M A BLAST!” by Wednesday, March 11 at 8pm EST. Then go ahead and tell us what makes you a blast to be around (besides your good taste in blogs). Is it your sense of humor or dry sarcasm? Do you play a mean game of Scrabble? Or perhaps you have an uncanny ability to belt out Britney songs? Don’t be shy – we wanna know what hanging out with you in real life might be like. Oh, and the winner’s choice of the four prize options can be shipped to the US and Canada. Only one entry per e-mail as usual.

    I’m a blast. Okay, that is not entirely true. I might be just bla, but if I won those super cute birds, I could be more fun to hangout with or not;)

      OK everyone. You all sound like a blast. Party at my house! Kidding (but only because there are almost 500 of you).

      Anyway, this contest (as of 30 minutes ago) is officially closed. Stay tuned for the lucky random winner on Thursday…

      xo,
      Sherry

    I’m a blast. I dance with my dog when I am alone and bored. It really helps to liven things up. He gets shy if he thinks other people are watching though :)

    I’M A BLAST!

    I guess it’s my humor? I don’t know, am I allowed to say I’m funny. I think I’m funny, and I can usually get some laughs out of the crowd. So that’s what makes me a blast to be around. :)

    & the reason I’m a blast is because I find nearly everything laugh-worthy & have a very infectious laugh. Get me & my sister together, and it’s a ridiculous giggle-fest!
