Fab Freebie: Plum Luck

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.***

Sometimes you just need a few good pillows to make things better. Okay, maybe they won’t be life-changing, but the right pillow can definitely be sofa-changing. And that’s why we feel lucky to have Plum Cushion as this week’s giveaway sponsor.

Plum Cushions Three Pillows

Melanie’s spot-on taste in fabrics- from Kelly Wearstler to Liberty of London- combined with her knack for all-things sewing creates a finely curated collection of handmade pillows that amp up the style-factor of any sofa. Just check out how much the character of the same couch can change with a few simple pillow switcheroos:

Plum Cushion Three Couches

And this week one of you is gonna score $150 toward any pillow(s) in Plum Cushion’s Esty Shop, so on Thursday we’ll be wishing someone “Happy Cushion Shopping!” while the rest of you will score a nice little discount (so stay tuned for that). Here are all the freebie deets:

  • PRIZE: $150 toward any pillow(s) in Plum Cushion’s Esty Shop
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M FEELING LUCKY” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about your lucky charms, rituals, routines or anything else you have/do to increase your luck. Oh, and we’d love to know if there’s a particular pillow that catches your eye.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 12th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The lower 48 United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    I”M FEELING LUCKY!!!! When I was swimming competitively I had a short ritual of weird stretches and jumping I did. I never made it very far so I guess it didn’t really work for me…hm. Other than that, there are no rituals that I stick to intensely just for luck.

    I love the middle picture with the purple!

    No real good luck charms here. And no real rituals. Although I do have one thing that calms me down and gets me ready for any situation – I close my eyes, take a deep breath, exhale, and say to myself ‘Okay…’.
    And for whatever reason, everything seems to work out after that. Who knows?

    I have a sterling silver wing necklace (aka my “lucky necklace”) that I wear when I participate in bike races. It makes me go faster, I’m convinced.

    On the topic of those pillows, I especially love the Urchin Print Cushion.

    I’M FEELING LUCKY, BABY!!!

    I can’t say that I have any rituals but can feel when it is coming. I am one of those people that has my palm itch just before I receive money (sometimes only a buck, cut still) and other funky feelings. My husband makes fun of me but knows to trust the feeling. hehe

    I am loving the Designers Guild Esperanza Cushion in Poppy.

    I don’t really have rituals that bring luck, just OCD-like behavior to ensure everything gets done and I don’t forget something.

    And no real rituals, but I do try to stick to the standard superstitious traditions (tap the top of the car when running a yellow light, knock on wood, etc). You never know what works and what doesn’t, so I’m happy to play it safe.

    I don’t think I have any luck rituals, weirdly! The Sassari Ikat cushion catches my eye – ever since reading your Look&Learn piece about using patterned fabrics to spruce up a bedroom, I’ve been looking around for something for mine. That pillow would look great on my bed!

    I’M FEELING LUCKY! I coach cheerleading and whenever my squad goes to a competition I take along an old hair ribbon from my old days as a cheerleader to bring extra luck to the team.

    The Designers Guild Esperanza Cushion in Poppy is so cute! Not sure if it would match my couch, but it was the one that caught my eye the most.

    It’s a silly thing, but I always touch the outside of a plane I’m boarding and just say a prayer and think good thoughts for a safe flight.

    These pillows are beautiful! I love the Kelly Wearstler, Ombre Maze Cushion in teal.

    I wouldn’t call it increasing luck, but I have a special way of folding entries to raffles and drawings. My dad showed me — he wins a lot of random giveaways, but it’s never worked for me. Maybe someday…

    I’M FEELING LUCKY! I don’t really do too much for luck. If I can’t find something, I say its name 7 times and then usually I find it. And I also kiss my hand and touch the ceiling when I go through a yellow/red light. Random, I know.

    I am in real need of some new pillows on my couch so hopefully it is my lucky day… I am feeling lucky! I don’t have any rituals/lucky items… I just try to put my faith in God that he will work all things out the way they are meant to be! :) Not sure what pillow(s) I would pick… it will take me a while to decide if I win, haha. :)
