Giveaway with Homesav

I have entered dozens of blog giveaways since I started my blog as it’s a great way to support other blogs (by following them) and of course there are always great prizes to be won.  I lamented in comments on other blogs  about how I never win anything (cue the violins) which is true.  The only thing I have ever won is a pencil case in Grade 7 and BTO tickets when I was in high school (yes, I know I am dating myself.)   It’s funny but I had  completely forgotten about those two winnings until I wrote this – the power of writing.  Well, I think the giveaway gods were listening because I won not only one but three giveaways in the past couple of weeks.
First, I won a $100 Homesav gift certificate on Lindsay’s blog.  I bought a few funky Rock my Soul pillows for my daughter and niece.  I have blogged about them in the past and love that they are made with organic cotton.

Then, I won an LG convection range worth $1500– I know, crazy, right? All I did was tweet the giveaway which was being held in conjunction with Style at Home magazine. When I received the messages/tweets saying I had won, I had completely forgotten I had even entered.  I retweeted without really thinking I would win so now I have to figure out what to do with this range!  I have a few ideas though.  See, all that time spent on twitter paid off!
And then this past Monday I won an Address Script from Muse Custom Vinyls via Desire to Decorate.  I have always loved how these add personality to a home’s exterior and I am looking forward to installing mine soon.

So,  a big thank you to the bloggers and giveaway sponsors!
Homesav has kindly offered one of my lucky readers a gift certificate for $100 to use on their site.  Homesav is a member only site but it only takes a minute to sign up and there are no fees.  They are a Canadian online retailer, based in Toronto, which features home decor items, kitchenware, furniture and more at a great price for sale on their site for 24-96 hours only.  
I was so impressed with the items for sale, pricing and customer service and I know you will be too!
If you live in the Toronto area, you may have caught  one of the Homesav founders on Breakfast Television this morning showcasing some of their items for sale.
In the past, they have had linen ottomans, flatware, cushions, art and table runners for sale on their site.  These items are currently on sale for a limited time and I would be quite happy with any one of them:

Good news!  This giveaway is open to Canadian and US readers (as of early Feb.)
To win:
1) Become a follower of my blog via Google Friends (see all those happy, smiling people on the right hand side) and leave a comment.  If you are already a follower, then just let me know in the comments. – one entry
2) Post this on your blog sidebar and then leave a comment. – one entry
3) Tweet a link to this post  and/or post on Facebook and let me know you did. – one or two entries
Remember, if you don’t have a blog with your email address, please leave your email address in the comments so I can contact you if you win.
The contest is open until January 31st and I will post the winner on February 1st.  Maybe that beautiful, linen ottoman will become available again at that time!
Bonne chance mes amies!

  1. I will totally enter! I want to buy something too! ;) And for the record, uber jealous of you winning the LG Convection range because we SOOO need one.

    And, for the record, the first entry never wins, so it's a long shot. Going to tweet about it for my 2nd entry!

  17. Thank you for posting about this! I am a member of HauteLook which is a similar site of HomeSav but because it's based in the states, I can't always purchase things off their site. I just signed up to Homesav and I'm excited to begin furnishing my first new home :) using the site.

    Congratulations on your new LG range!!! We just bought one about a month ago and I couldn't be happier-i really love it! It took a little getting used to after cooking with my old stove for so long, but now I wouldn't want anything else!
