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!

    …because I can barely speak a word of German, yet I live in Germany and pull out my favorite line from JFK any time necessary. It’s a play on words that basically says “I’m a jelly doughnut.” Gotta enjoy what you’ve got, right?

    Thanks guys. I have a US address, too, so still count me in!

    Because I wreck tremendously on my mountain bike, laugh it off, get back on, and ride. At the end of the day, I grill meats for my riding buddies and serve them cold cans of Natty Boh.

    I’m a blast! Mostly because I happen to have two adorable little dogs who make their otherwise rather boring owner interesting to hang out with! That, and I count my friends as the most cherished facets of my life.

    Really. I’m a blast because I have a strange ability to recite lines from movies. Actually, that probably makes me annoying to those who don’t know the quotes. Oh well. :)

    I’m a blast because I can laugh at myself! For example, I thought it was pretty hilarious when I fell off the treadmill at the gym last week. That’s what I get for not wearing my contacts and noticing that the person who was on it before me left it on when they got off.
