Win It: The Storyboard Book.


When I worked in advertising I would have killed for something as clever as The Storyboard Book. The concept is simple: a frame for the action and and space for whatever notes you have to go along with it. Take notes, make a list, write a movie, whatever. It’s also perfectly pocket-sized so you can take it anywhere. And this week we’re giving away a 3-pack to one reader.

To Enter, Tell Me:
1. Who would play you in the movie of your life?
2. Leave a valid email address (For notification if you win! Sadly, those who do not will be disqualified.)
3. Do it all before Monday, February 15th at 9am CST

I’ve been stalking Strawberry Luna (aka Allison) for a few years now. I can’t get enough of her style and once I found out she’s based out of my hometown – Pittsburgh, PA – I was a total goner! All the work for Strawberry Luna is designed and hand screenprinted by Allison herself. And yes, they’re all for real, live shows and real, live bands. Talk about a dream job. And this week Allison is giving away this beauty to one of you!

To Enter, Tell Me:
1. Your favorite band. Ever.
2. Your email address. (In case you win. Those who do not will sadly be disqualified.)

Win It: Becca Heuer.


What better way to kick off the new year than with a calendar giveaway?! Exactly, there really isn’t one. At least here in Blogland. The instant I saw Becca Heuer’s seasonal letterpress calendar I smiled. Big. I love her concept of splitting it into seasons instead of months and the letterpress is breathtaking. And just to say Hi, hello, I hope you have a lovely year, Becca is gifting one of you luckies with a brand spankin’ new calendar to start your year off right!

Just leave a comment with your email address. (Don’t worry, I won’t be selling or storing them. It’s only to let you know if you win!) You have until 12pm CST tomorrow, January 5th. The winner will be chosen randomly and notified shortly after. Thanks, Becca!

Win It: Xenotees.


I have a soft spot for screen printing. There’s just something so deeply satisfying about slaving over your design and then dragging the ink across the screen and seeing it take shape.

This week’s giveaway is from Xenotees, where every single piece is screen printed by hand on a manual 6 color/6 station press. And one of your luckies is going to be the recipient of this adorable French Pet Lobster scarf! It’s a sheer jersey scarf from American Apparel screen printed in red with “I have a liking for lobsters. They are peaceful, serious creatures. They know the secrets of the sea, they don’t bark…” in French. So sweet and charming. And perfect for all of winter’s chilliest days.

To Enter, Tell Me:
1. Your favorite animal!
2. Your email address, in case you’re the lucky winner (those who do not will sadly be disqualified)
3. And do it all before Friday, December 18th at 12pm CST

A winner will be chosen randomly and announced shortly after. Best of luck!
