Giveaway: Bunting Necklace from MaryRebecca!




Just in time for Valentine's Day, my talented friend Mary brings you this very exciting giveaway! The prize is one handcrafted maroon bunting necklace, exclusively for my readers. Made of up-cycled leather, this is the perfect accent to your fancy wardrobe, or is the perfect Valentine's gift to give for you stumped Romeos, best friends, and thoughtful siblings out there.

To enter:
  • Submit your best date idea in the form of a comment on this post. (It is one of the most lovey dovey times of the year, after all!)
For extra entries:
  • Follow Mary's blog: Mary Rebecca via Google Friend Connect.
  • Blog about the contest on your own blog (be sure to link to this post to get credit!).
  • Tweet about the contest (make sure to @reply to @jinah and @mary_rebecca to get credit!).
  • This one's a doozy--buy something from the MaryRebecca Etsy shop for a whopping 8 extra entries! (Make sure to let Mary know during your transaction, or put your transaction number in the comments!)
Boring rules:
  • Please leave me a way to contact you, whether it is through e-mail, Twitter, or your own blog.

  • Giveaway ends Sunday, February 6th at 11:59.59 EST.
  • Open to US and International entries.
Make sure to take a peek through her wares, as well! She has a handful of her infamous Golden Snitch Locket necklaces left, and so many colors of her Victorian Skeleton Cameo pieces left (I love the peach!). And, as if a giveaway wasn't cool enough, Mary is offering 10% off her Etsy shop using the code "BONJOUR11" for my readers through the month of February.

*Giveaway is now closed. Thanks for playing!*

  4. First, I love your blog redesign! Second, ADORABLE NECKLACE. Third, the perfect Valentine's Day date for me would consist of making dinner and dessert together and then watching a movie at home. I love days where I never have to leave the apartment, haha!

  10. thanks for hosting this fantastic giveaway! my idea of the best date is to do an architectural tour of your city/town! my boyfriend and i have done this where each of us finds 2-3 places within a certain geographical radius that we want to take the other and will research the background/history and then map out our journey the day of the date! picnic and polaroids are mandatory. balloons can be optional :)

  25. My husband and I had the perfect date night the other night. We had a wonderful dinner together and then played Trivial pursuit and laughed at each other, then we played Goodnight Sweetheart a game for couples and I learned something about him I never knew before, his favorite toy as a child. It was just that feeling of intimacy and closeness that made it the perfect date!

  50. My date idea is influenced by the recent snowstorm we've had in the Midwest :)
    First, we'd get our friends together and have a giant snowball fight/build snow igloos. Then, once our friends leave, my date and I would make some hot cocoa with marshmallows and snuggle up in our snow igloo. After our cocoa, we'd make snow angels and eat some warm dinner together in front of the fireplace.
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  63. One of my favorite dates I went on with my hubster was going on a secret stairway walking tour of Nob Hill in San Francisco. There is so much history, architecture and natural beauty that can only be discovered on foot. You completely miss it driving by in a car.

  66. Best date for this Valentines, eh? Well, I would love to go to Chicago (which is what my boy is doing, I believe) and take lots of pictures. I love when he takes mine. I'm a photographer so I'm always the one behind the camera and never in the photos! I want to go to Noodles & Co as well, that is one of my favorite places to eat!
