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! And I would say that it’s my sense of humor, dry sarcasm AND cunning Scrabble-playing ability. How ever did you guess? ;o)

    “I’M A BLAST!”

    Oh my. I would sell my soul for those ceramic birdies. Okay, maybe not quite, but I am in loooove with them. I am planning to design my baby’s nursery with a momma bird and baby bird motif. These would be so sweet and perfect on a shelf in baby’s room.

    I’m a blast because I crack myself up. I mean, truly. I crack myself up. Whether it’s something silly that I do or think or say, I find it so easy to laugh at myself or with myself. It never fails to bring a smile to people’s faces :)

    I’M A BLAST!!! Personally, I think I’m a blast to be around because of my quick wit and dry sense of humor/sarcasm… I also tell some awesome corny jokes. They’re so bad that my husband has asked me to please stop telling them. That may also be because I only have 2-3 “good” ones, so I tend to repeat them. I think it only makes them that much better, but everyone’s got an opinion!
