Bag and apron giveaway | How About Orange

November 03, 2008

Bag and apron giveaway

Our Quilt Market booth featured this awesome Calliope print apron made by Etsy seller Perdoozy and this Fireworks print bag made by Etsy seller Blue Blossom Girl. They were a big hit! Would you like to own them... free? Win them by leaving a comment on this post sometime between now and Friday (11/7) at midnight, and I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner. I'm curious to know what all of you do, so leave a comment listing your profession. You know, whether you stay home with kids or drive a firetruck or whatever. And make sure there's a way for me to contact you if you win so I can get your mailing address.

UPDATE: This contest is now closed. Comment number 963 was randomly generated as the winner. Congratulations to Kara, who said, "I have great love for orange as well and love seeing how you use it!"

I can see why this has been so amazingly popular!! I am currently a junior in college majoring in Biology, trying to get into veterinary school. When I'm not at school, I work as a veterinary technician and also as a research intern in a chemistry lab. When I can, I make jewelry, and I just got a sewing machine over the summer that I'm trying to learn to use in my "spare time".

I can be contacted at lmalick at umw dot edu.

I support members of the public to become involved in shaping and improving healthcare delivery in Scotland. I love my job! I also have a shop on etsy because I love to sew and knit on my commute.

Your blog has made me appreciate the colour orange again. When I was little, for a teacher's research study at school, my classmates and I were told that orange was yellow and yellow was orange, and then tested on it a year later. I still get the two colours confused to this day, but your blog helps!

Have a great weekend.
