giveaways, winning + pretty things
When a parcel arrives in the mail addressed to you, how do you react? Do you open it up like a child who has to open it NOW, or you do you savour the moment and make it wait for the right time?
This afternoon I special delivery arrived at my doorstep, and I didn't want to wait.
Because I knew what was inside.
Pretty things.
Thanks to one of my favourite bloggers, Shh... it's Lizeylou. She had her very first giveaway which I WON (what are the chances?)! I was so thrilled because I'd already peeked at Eb & Ive's Facebook page, which led me to their website, which had me falling in love with their lovely bits.
They say that first impressions are lasting:
And inside:
A linen camel bag, a pretty scarf, a funky BIG ring, a gorgeous necklace, earrings to die for, AND some pretty hair clips.
Did I mention they were pretty already?
And because I'd leaned towards the mad, frantic opening which had to be done straight away (as I oohed and aahed), I transferred all my junk to my new handbag, whipped on the earrings, the necklace, and proceeded to show them off to my neighbour as I raced out the door to the next lot of errands.
And I may or may not show them off a little more on Sunday when we get all Fancy Pants round here.
But I really wanted to say was a BIG thank you to Lizeylou for her awesome giveaway, and to Eb & Ive for making the prettiest things.
Have you ever won a giveaway? Were you chuffed to the core?

ReplyDeleteI tend to saviour opening up parcels...drawing out the suspence for as long as I can handle :)
Super cute earrings! I am so going to check out that site. BTW I'm a ripper, can't wait got to tear open a package!
ReplyDeleteB xx
Ooh I LOVE those earrings! Might have to go and check the store out. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to savour packages. When I walk in the door of an afternoon/evening I have the two kids racing around underfoot and no husband for at least an hour and a half. So putting the package aside while we deal with dinner, bath and bed routine then gives me something for 'me' when the kids are tucked away in bed.
And I recently won a giveaway for some hair products and was so excited when they arrived - loved trying new things. Sadly I haven't won any of the other comps I've entered, but I keep trying!
Gorgeous! The bling AND you xx
