One Year Anniversary Giveaway!!!

Posted on 04:26 by kumar
"Da da da da da da da: They say it's Grunge Queen's blogs Birthday ... Happy Birthday to her!"

One year this week! I feel like a proud mommie. Love this blog; love that all you lovely readers follow and comment and encourage and compliment the way along.

Here's prize number one (yes there are two!):

Are you a decor junkie? Love glam, but not sure how to get it? Did you cry your heart out when you learned that one of your fave inspirational mags, Domino, went the way of the do-do bird last year?

This boo-tiful 250 page book, Domino, the Book of Decorating: a room by room guide to creating a home that makes you happy is very Grunge Queen in a way. It's not about thrift per se, though it may feature some rooms with thrifty items in them.

But it is about creativity, creating a happy space that reflects the essential YOU, and sharing helpful tips and ideas ... all Grunge Queen mantras.

I am frequently inspired to do thrifty little dcor re-dos by the likes of Elle Decor, Domino, and the recently funked up Canadian House and Home magazines.

I hope this book does the same for the lucky winner - this will go to the first name I draw!

How to enter in a sec. Here's second prize:

Ok, so you're not a decor nut. But you are a fashion freak, in the most glam of senses.

This vintage/retro 'crystal' necklace is a piece I thrifted while doing this blog, and I love it.

It's so simple, there's a totally retro clasp (that you have to make sure you close correctly) - and it's so old you can even see that the beads were strung with string!!

This will be yours if you are the second name I draw!!

How to Enter:

1). Leave a comment on this post = 1 entry.

2). If you are a follower or become a follower (by clicking "follow" button - you can create an Anonymous profile by the way), leave a comment and tell me = 1 entry (your second if you do above).

3). If you shout out this giveaway to other thrifty decor and fashion junkies (on your blog, on Twitter, on someone else's blog as a comment in the case you don't have a blog), and then post a comment here to tell me = 1 entry (your third if you do 1 and 2).

Three chances to win a prize, and two prizes to win ... and if you were born with a horseshoe and I draw your name twice you could actually win two prizes! I will ship the prizes to the winners!

I will do the draw and make an announcement next Friday January 22. The winners will have to email me back with their contact details.

Good luck and thank you for reading Grunge Queen, where chic is indeed cheap.
And thanks to Thrifted Treasure 'cos I copied the rules from her ....
