Ok…so I know I said Wednesday and now it’s almost Friday…but this has been an epic anniversary week and now it’s officially time for my 1 year PinkPianos giveaway!

I am super happy with all the friends I have made hosting this eclectic blog, artists I have interviewed, and restoration projects that I’ve been able to document through this site!

There will also be a mystery gift stirred into the mix, sometime next week.

Good Luck!

I have been inspired by this giveaway to send noted to friends all week in an effort to connect to what I value most in life.

The lucky winner Ola was selected at random using the online number randomizer.

I can’t wait to send out these gorgeous cards.

I’m so thankful to all who played.

Coming up soon, Part II of Structured Chaos’ Shop, Swap and Blog.

I will feature my second and international partner, Rita, a jewelry-maker from Latvia.

I came across Rachel Follett’s blog, one day while I was bouncing around the web.

A month later to my delight, I was paired up with her as part of Structured Chaos’ Shop, Swap, and Blog event.

Rachel went into business because she was constantly inspired by all the beautiful things that people make.  She mainly works as a graphic designer and found herself looking for things to do off the computer. That’s when she started making cards. Most of all, she likes seeing people happy when they receive her cards.

Want to spend the day at the beach with someone you love?…

or wish them Happy Birthday from the bottom of your heart.

Based in Maui, her unique cards often express her love for vintage.

In the future, she sees herself branching out to handmade items like sewing pillows and buntings along with vintage housewares. She likes the smallness of it and selling to local stores.

Rachel runs a well curated shop, Lovely Clusters that  culls the very best from the handmade world for all to see. She has many favorite online stores, but one of her favorite sellers is Dani from Oh Hello Friend, whom has a fabulous blog, makes beautiful jewelry and does such a lovely job with styling and packaging her products. Such a great source of inspiration!

Thanks so much to Rachel for sharing with us a glimpse into her world.

I had planned to give away three of her cards today as samples for you to share. If you would like to play, please visit Lovely Clusters and tell us which shop inspires you and why.

You may also enter by tweeting this post using any of the buttons below, don’t forget to tell me you did this.

The winner will be selected at random from all the comments and announced this Friday!

The Designer Tag Sale in Orange County this Saturday was a huge success. I had missed the L.A. event in August so I had no idea what to expect. When the doors opened at 10 a.m. there was a line that literally ran out of the yard and down the street.

I met so many gifted Designers, Stylists, Writers, and Flippers. All of my furniture, along with fabric and goodies were nestled sweetly between a lime tree and a guava tree. My friend, Annie from Yolksy brought along her design stock too.

I’ll be sure to let you all know if and when we partake again. In the between time, we still have some merchandise up for the steal of a the century.

One yellow butterfly cabinet $225 (retails for $695)

Amy Butler fabric $9 yd.

Oil Cloth $5 per yd.

Tomorrow, I have a surprise  from the lovely Rachel Follett, designer, graphic artist, and blogger extraordinaire.

We will be giving away the contents of this package.

Come back tomorrow, when I’ll announce how to play!
