{giveaway winner}

thanks to all who entered the giveaway - loved all of your kind comments and great ideas for this little rug.

as for the winner, congratulations meagan {as you were comment #4} we'll be in touch to get this rug to you!

{wednesday *giveaway*}

madeline weinrib might be the queen of the geometric modern dhurrie. unfortunately her prices tend to be a bit out of my budget. so when csn stores contacted me about doing another giveaway, i was thrilled to find a near look alike rug to weinrib's design. csn is a great resource for less expensive home decor options as they sell everything from rugs to platform beds. and now you have the opportunity to *win* a 2x3 fallon gray and ivory contemporary rug.

how to win: all you have to do is leave a comment below saying where you'd put this rug in your apartment/bungalow. the giveaway starts today and ends thursday, july 8th. a winner will be randomly selected and announced friday, july 9th.

p.s. in case you were wondering about some of madeline weinrib's designs, see a few below:

**this giveaway is no longer open for entries. betty cabell is our winner**

apologies for the delay, was a bit under the weather yesterday.

but without further ado... a brown paper package wrapped up with string will soon be on its way to the mailbox of the winner of the very first giveaway here at {s&s}, courtesy of csn stores.

let's talk dishes then, shall we? white ones in particular. perhaps nestled in polo blue cabinetry even. there's something about white dish vignettes atop saturated paint colors...

in honor of the bungalow kitchen inching towards completion, get a head start on your very own great wall of china by entering to win your choice of the following three pitchers:

to enter, leave a comment below stating your favorite: {le creuset}, {vessel}, or {koi} and if you feel so inclined, humor me and tell me where it will find a home in your home. the winner will be randomly selected and contacted by email after tuesday, january 26, 2010.

and for a second entry, blog about this giveaway and leave a separate comment with the link to your blog post.

if you are the lucky one to win, perhaps a floral celebration is in order...
