Burlap Love–a giveaway!

Growing up, picnics and holidays were an excuse to make homemade ice cream!  My introduction to burlap began there—my dad would put a big chunk of ice in an old burlap sack and whack it with the flat side of an axe to crush ice for the ice cream freezer.

If I told my dad that people (meaning me) were using burlap for curtains and pillows, I *know* he would think I was crazy!

But take a look at these adorable pillows from Kijsa Studio!

She makes them out of old burlap sacks

Dad, I’m sure she washed them first.

…and she has generously offered to give one of her initial pillows (your choice) away to a Red Hen Home reader!

There are two ways to enter:

1.  (Mandatory) Please visit Kijsa Studio’s Etsy shop, then come back here and leave a comment telling me which pillow is your favorite (initial, zipcode, address, etc).

2.  (Optional) Leave another comment telling me something good that happened to you within the last 24 hours!

That’s it!  Winner will be determined via random number generator on Monday, February 27.  Good luck!

What are you waiting for?? Visit Kijsa Studio HERE.

*********************************

P.S.  For those sweet souls who are wondering, the table issue isn’t quite resolved yet.  Apparently the manager got an e-mail back from the corporate office finally on Wednesday, and they were firm but kind on the store-credit-only stance.  The manager said he would send a second e-mail back saying HE thought they should give us our money back.  We shall see!

    Hmmm, something good .... ok, the 2 piece I've been working on (recovering a French Wingback chair with burlap and refinishing an antique dresser) are almost finished. Oh and my daughter picked me up some Via last night so I have coffee this morning. Those are a few good things : )

    The good thing that happened today is that my husband called to say that we will be able to order the same baseboard molding for the basement that we have in the rest of the house. We originally built this house in 1998 and to be able to find the same molding 14 years later is really good!

    I had fun visiting Kijsa Studio. Thank you for the link. I loved all the pillows, but my very favorite would be the street address pillow.

    A wonderful thing that happened yesterday is that I saw dolphins while walking the beach. It is always exciting and a spirit lifting event.

    Be well.

    I like the address pillows. I live in the same house I grew up in and now my kids have grown up in this house.I get to tell them stories about this house and show them pictures of this house and what it looked like when I was little. Hopefully my husband and I will grow old in this house like my mom and dad did. So I was use the address pillow with our address on it.

    Something good (great actually) that happened is I just found your blog! So many wonderful things on here! Your beadboard postcard and postcard table have really inspired me. I'm going to try my hand at one for my sister and brother in law. They have a 2 year old little girl and 10 month old twin boys. Needless to say they have their hands full. I agreed to come over and paint their living room/help redecorate. One of those postcard pieces would be perfect in there!
