Vintage Umbrella Giveaway...{English tin!!}

Haven't I told you how obsessed I am with all things British? I think I have. British. Amish. Anything "ish" I love.

Commence British accent: (if you don't read in a british accent you're disqualified.)

So here is my one off today: (one off is the british version of sale or giveaway.)

From the Vintage Umbrella Etsy Shop:


Following is the fabulous wendiwinn to let you in on the details:

up for giveaway is a loverly vintage tin by baret ware. made in england. and as a special treat, i have filled it with aluminum cookie cutters. oh yes. they are awesome. and they make a clangy noise when they're shaken. which is way fun. and which is also why things should always be shaken. and not stirred. and well. the cookie cutter shapes are:
flower
santa (copper color)
christmas tree (copper color)
diamond
club
spade (x2)
bell
awesome badawesome rooster







I'm sure plenty of my chums would be daft over this giveaway and want to win it! Here's how:

Mandatory entry:
Visit Vintage Umbrella and come back and tell me your favorite item! 1 entry.

Optional entries:
Heart Vintage Umbrella on Etsy.
Like Vintage Umbrella on FB for 1 entry.
Follow me: 1 entry
Follow wendiwinn: 1 entry
Now, of course, you don't have to do all of it. If you do you get more entries is all. My husband who reads my blog, laughs at all the "rules" I set up. Truth? I do, too. Cuz I hate rules. But, rules are rules and I must put them forth. Right?

Whatever.

Anyway.

One more thing to get you some extra entries:

Tattoo wendi winn on your bicep. It doesn't even have to be big. But if you do it, I'm pretty sure you'd win.

And you know what's really awesome?? Vintage Umbrella is offering all of my readers a discount of 15% off if you purchase something from their shop!

Just enter the code FRANCE15 to apply it to your order.

(the code made just for my giveaway makes me squeeeeeee with excitement.)

Also. My apologies for the poor British lingo. This giveaway has taught me something. Something very important, indeed. Clearly I need to read another novel by a British author very soon. My bloody English brogue is suffering.

PS: please leave a comment for everything you do. my math sucks.

She has so many awesome things in her shop. It's so hard to choose. That owl napkin ring holder is pretty cool though.

I love the Saltine Cracker tins! I remember having one growing up. I also love the Children's Music Trays, the Cow plate set, all the noisemakers...I could go on. What a cute site!

P.S. Did I ever mention that I studied in London, England? Do you hate me now? ;]

At first I thought you were giving away an umbrella and I got really excited because it's STILL raining here. I live in California. It's June. AND. IT'S RAINING. What the shit? I think my favorite is the nut grinder. I don't have to tell you why.

Connie Weiss said...

Oh my goodness, we are supposed to pick just one? I want the WHOLE store! So many of those items remind me of my grandmother, and the cookie cutters being given away are just like some my mother has had forever.
If I had to choose just one thing, it would probably be the Harvest pyrex baking dish. Beautiful.

She knows I love all the owls in her shop. Even the scary one that holds napkins. Or fear. I can't remember which...

Very tough, I love the sifter, nut chopper, the lamb planter, and many more, simply because they bring back memories, but the salmon colored gloves are probably my favorite, just because they are so feminine & pretty. :o)
