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 work lights at a bar on Saturday nights. There’s a DJ and I like to think it’s my sweet lighting work that makes the kids move ;-)

    Hmmm. I guess I’m a blast because of my sense of humor. Actually, rather its my ability to make people laugh by making a total fool of myself! I love people!
    I love the vases, but the birds are adorable, too. :)

    IM A BLAST! I have a unusual amount of energy! My friends love it because while they’re sitting on the couch they can just observe me and laugh. I dance like no one is watching! It’s fun and I think even a bit of a workout. My last dance party was in a van on the way to Sea Tac Airport. My friends and I were having such a blast that some ladies waiting to be picked up thought we had had some drinks. Little did they know we just know how to be A BLAST all the time!!!

    I’M A BLAST . . . at least that’s what my friends say. When they’re down, they call me to make them laugh. We all go through rough patches, but it takes real friends to help you find the humor in stressful situations.
