FREE DOLLHOUSE GIVEAWAY

Update: I'll post again if arrangements fall through, but congrats to the new homeowners Dana and Sharon. Stay tuned for more giveaways as I keep downsizing my collection.

I need to downsize and am hoping to find a good home for these two houses.

Local pick up only in San Francisco Bay Area. I am willing to deliver within an hour drive of SF, but not willing to deal with shipping. Both houses could use a little TLC. Ideal person will have instagram/facebook/blog, or if not on social media will hopefully send me photos so I can see what you do with the houses.

FREE GIVEAWAY: Glam Collection

And Babette Polman makes 400. Woo hoo, I think a giveaway is in order. I bought a bunch of beads that reminded me of the decorative accents Paris sells here on prdminiatures.com, but with a Hollywood Regency twist. I have several of Paris' and his are seriously high quality and well crafted, mine are just beads glued together. I have some extras so I hope these make a good giveaway.

Free Giveaway: Modern Lamps

4, 3, 2, 1... Happy New Year!! To celebrate 100 posts this year, I'm giving away a set of my "Silver Trio Modern Lamps". I've had fun making these lamps and plan to make more in the new year. To enter my FREE giveaway just leave a comment on this post before Saturday, January 15th 11:59pm PST. I will randomly select a winner and announce the following day.



My modern lamps can work as floor or ceiling lights. They are not electrified but can be used as sculptures or to fill negative ceiling space. Here are photos from Callsmall's blog using the lamps as hanging lights and LeftCoastMini as floor lamps, and in my Antrim.

Giveaway Winner is...

I added all 63 Followers and the 6 others who follow through Google Reader and other servers (that left a comment letting me know) into an excel spreadsheet. I sorted alphabetically to make sure I didn't have duplicates and then used the random number generator function [=RANDBETWEEN(1,69)] to pick the winner.

Congratulations... marivigano!

Update 5/26

Thank you all so much for your comments! Sadly it's going to take much longer than I anticipated to respond. I started a race to build the Antrim kit, but then a co-worker is on vacation and I'm taking over her work as well as mine and have been working extremely late hours. She is back next week and sanity will return shortly. I had to change the giveaway date to the 31st, since I won't have time until this weekend to finish building the surprise.

The winner is... Boogie Beans

Congratulations Boogie Beans, you won the MoMA Modern Play House! Please go to my profile and send me an email with your mailing address. Thanks for playing everyone!
