Aren’t they cute? I can’t wait for them to arrive in the mail. Those three little guys above are my latest giveaway win. Hooray for free stuff! In the past six months, I have won two vinyl decals, a botanical print, and now these adorable Santas. If you’re saying to yourself, hmmmm….yay for you. I have to say that I am typically that person too. The person who never wins ANYTHING. I know it’s all about chance and stats, but I seriously have felt like anything resting on “chance” was not in my favor. Anything I’ve ever received….grades, jobs, opportunities, friends, even husband :)…I have had to work my butt off for. Well actually, I have quite an ample backside which seems to be spreading with the holiday cheer, but you know what I mean. I have never been that girl that has things just fall into her lap. Don’t get me wrong. I can hardly say I’ve had it rough in life, but I’ve had to work hard for the things I have. That hard work has built a tenacious spirit within me which has proved immensely valuable. Moral to this story? I don’t know. Perhaps, don’t be a hata be a playa? Or how about this: Enter enough giveaways and you are bound to win at some point!
Does anyone else recognize these lights? I had just seen them (on p. 70) of the Dec/Jan House Beautiful magazine. The website source that House Beautiful sites doesn’t appear to be carrying these lights right now. I let Hudson Goods know this little piece of information and hopefully that will help them in their sales. Why tell them? Well, because anyone who is willing to giveaway $50 worth of cute Santas in my book deserves some sales! A generous spirit and a giving heart should be rewarded. Second moral lesson for today: Be generous with your resources….whatever they might be. Share. It’s what I try to do with you each day…and I love it! Sharing with you brings me so much joy, and I am so thankful for all of you who take the time to read my blog.
: ) you are a design psychic! And you are so right! I was totally inspired by those cage lights I've been seeing in magazines and on blogs.
What fun – you are lucky! I enter those all the time but never win. Oh well…
I love those lights. Ballard Designs sells some similar ones – but they are very pricey.

The Santa's are cute! I never seem to win contests. Of course, I don't enter many either. (Could be the reason, huh?) My husband won a drawing at a fundraiser years ago. He won a curling iron! What made that even funnier was – he has very little HAIR! He really enjoyed that walk to pick up his prize!
Beautiful Santas! And those lights are super cool! I could find a home for those-wouldn't they look cool in a group of three over the kitchen table?
It might be a good time to buy a lottery ticket! Love the Santas!
They are so cute! You have to show us where you place them. I would have said the same thing, but apparently this has been my lucky month. As you know, I've won a few giveaways {my 19 year old son thinks that scarf is so soft ~ I told him to step away from it!} I enter so many giveaways and I'm going to go with that as the reason. Believe me when I say I'm surprised to find out I've won. I bought a Lotto ticket today ~ let's see if it extends beyond blog land! : )
Congratulations on your win. I love the Santas. I have a few myself and am starting to think about how I am going to display them this year.
Your Santas are lovely. I am enjoying your site so very much.
