"Just for Fun" Summer Giveaway

I've decided to do a little Summer giveaway - just for the fun of it! I've been busy cleaning out my studio to make room for my new shop's inventory (yes, it's coming soon!), so I put together several little packages of pretty things - millinery flowers, vintage ribbons, wallpaper scraps, and rhinestones.  If you are interested in winning one, just leave me a comment on this post. 

I'm heading out of town again for a bit, so I'll leave the comments open until I get back...and then I'll announce the winners!

***Update on August 23rd:  Thank you for all your lovely comments!  The comments are now closed and I will be announcing the winners soon!

Happy Summer!

:-)

Jessica

[M. Schmitz]

Dear Jessica,

I'm a very big supporter of 'low communication' and there are very, very few blogs that I follow, all creative ones. I really love your stuff and it's been a great inspiration to me for oh, soooo many times...

Thank you so much for sharing all this with us and the time you spend blogging. Time is the most valuable thing to me, because I don't have much due to my job whre I have to deal with the ugly sides of life. Following your blog, 'looking in' every now and then cleanses the eyes and the soul...

So, a thousand THANK YOUs & kindest regards
Mia, from good ol' germany

Jessica,

I've followed your blog for almost a year now and I swear the first time I saw it I thought: I wish you were MY mom! I'm fifteen and I have similar tastes as you - my sister often says I have an 'old soul' because of my interests!

I'm as dumbfounded by the things you manage to find these days as I have been for the past year or so. I wish I was as driven as a shopper! Most of the older period things I own I've happened upon. And while I love that they seemed fated to come to me, I wish I had the courage to go out and seek the types of things I love, even though they're tricky to find.

Which is why I've decided to enter your latest giveaway. The things you package up are breathtaking and I know if I could acquire enough things of a specific taste, I could figure out my style better and be a better shopper/collector.

I've at least become a better optimist about Target!

I probaly should have put this in an e-mail on account of it's length and posted a shorter comment for the giveaway, but I've always seemed to come in large doses. I can't wait until you open your shop and can add it to my list of Downtown Frederick shops. I actually love that man that works at Accesories of Old and the blonde from Tiara Day. Those shops are my regulars, as I only live about 10 min from them. I was excited to learn you've been to them, too.

I hope you don't put this blog down very soon! It's what I come to everytime I just need to see something girly and pretty and old. It's the most beautiful thing in the world for me!

[Judy Wahl]

What a wonderful give away. Please enter my name. Your blog is just fantastic.

I am anxiously waiting for the shop to be open. Here in Homestead, Fl it is so difficult to find 'Such Pretty Things', this would truly be heaven on earth if I won. Especially since I am one of those people who never wins anything!

[Amy Stark]

What a day brightener your blog is for me. To have you and your bling bling girls share pastel pretties certainly feeds my soul. Your pictures are true eye candy. Thanks for including me in your giveaway. You have a shabby friend in Minnesota.

[edith lawson]

Oh, how I would love to win one of your packages! I love your blog.
