a quickie giveaway

Hello! I am looking for good homes for 2 of my handmade address files***

The first file is in almost-perfect condition, it made of ecologically harvested solid maple wood, and finished with a nice non-toxic satin finish. The only thing 'wrong' with this file is that it has a small dark spot on one of it's top sides (you can see the little mark in the photos). I actually love this little spot, but others may not so much and so it is not for sale.

The second address file is made of, again, ecologically harvested solid black walnut wood, and finished nicely with a non-toxic satin finish. It looks, however, as though somewhere a long the way it may have been banged, as one of it's back corners is a little bit dented in. You cannot notice it at all unless you pick it up and examine it, but still it will not be sold.

Each file is filled up with 200 address cards, each of them cut and punched personally by me! (I can now cut these cards with my eyes closed) Many of the cards are patterned with my own designs and printed on recycled paper, some are solid-coloured cards, and some cards are cut from re-cycled cardstock such as vintage library book cards. Each file is numbered, personalised to the recipient, and made with a whole ton of care and love!

If you would like to have one of these special address files to call your own (or give to a friend) Please leave a comment and I will randomly pick two winners tomorrow evening (Tuesday, June 1st, pacific time) This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world. Good Luck!

***This contest has now ended - comments are closed. Thank you to everyone who entered!***

I ADORE these. I was so excited to see the giveaway. I'll have to start saving my pennies to purchase if I don't win.

I'm always excited when you post.

Those are both so lovely, maybe because of the flaws!

I especially love beautiful utilitarian items that are both useful and aesthetically pleasing.

Sharilyn, you are an inspiration!

Do I feel lucky? I've got to be in it, to win it, as they say. I'd love to have such a delicious item in my home. I like to think I could give it as a sweet gift, to someone I love, but in reality I'm sure I'd keep it for my very own!

jan said...

Oh! Little imperfections arent a problem - shows character!

Angie said...

Wow! I always love these, and someday hope to own one! (By the way, we are trying to do the night time candle with my daughter, and oh- it's lovely! I just wish her naps would come back!)
