Impromptu Giveaway (don’t get too excited now)

While cleaning my house this past weekend, I was again reminded that some things just have to go. There are items in my house that I really don’t need and I am perfectly willing to pay $3 or $4 for shipping to three of my readers who may want something they see here.

Take, for example, this lovely pair of Daniel Green bedroom slippers (size 9) that I bought last year from Garnet Hill on sale for only $9.99. They were an absolute steal but they were so not me. They are much more fitting for someone with a more demure sense of style.

They have never been worn and they are looking for a good home.

Next on the list is a rather rustic-looking coffee mug. I bought it for my husband several years ago, quite forgetting that he doesn’t like mugs that are dark inside. So I used it instead as a vessel to hold miscellaneous items like scissors and screwdrivers. And now I’ve grown tired of it, and it must go. It’s very clean inside, so no worries.

Finally, there are the beauty samples. Over the past year, I’ve accumulated this entire stash of samples that I just don’t think one person can use. So I’m getting rid of it all. Included in this selection are samples from DHC Skin Care, Lancome, Laura Mercier, Smashbox, Chanel and Kiehl’s among others. Away with it all, I say.

Now here’s how this giveaway will work:

As I said, I’m willing to pay three or four dollars for shipping. So that leaves many of you who don’t live in the states quite out of it. If you can provide a shipping address within the US, I’ll be glad to send it to that address. So, for those of you who are eligible (e.g. you live in the US), please read the following:

THE RULES

1. You must be a follower of this blog. This is not an attempt to glean followers. If you want to sign up to follow today, that’s fine. But this giveaway is for my followers only.

2. Leave a comment telling me the ONE ITEM you want. (Bedroom Slippers, Mug, or Beauty Samples).

3. Make sure I can get in touch with you by leaving me your e-mail address along with the comment.

HOW TO WIN

Wednesday evening (Feb. 3), I will choose one number at random.org and that person will win the item they desire. That item will then be out of the running.

Then I will choose a second number at random.org and eventually a third until I find someone who wants the other two items.

Good luck! And thanks for helping me rid myself of some of the clutter in my life. And apologies to those of you who live afar. I really am sorry and hope you’ll forgive me.
