Happy Labor Day weekend, ya’ll. I’m back from the beach and in full-out wedding planning/house buying mode. I’ll just say here and now that posting will be LIGHT these next couple of weeks so bear with me. On to the giveaway! I’m so glad you all enjoyed it. I find Sharon’s photos to just be [...]
I swear to jebus, you guys, these giveaways just keep getting better and better. Today it is an honor and a privilege to share with you the sheer delight that is Sharon Montrose‘s animal photography. Permit me to dazzle you. YES. That just happened. While you all stare in wonder at the incredible coolness of [...]
Happy Friday, everyone! It is a clear, sunny Friday in Boston which means I am happy. (Yes, my mood fluctuates with the weather. Some call that unhealthy but to them I say, can you predict what your mood will be three days from now? Because I CAN.) Actually, I’m itching to go get my lunch [...]
Okay, movie lovers, I’ve got a great giveaway for you today. I know, I know, I’m a week late with this one, but that’s probably because I was distracted by a few things like, oh, I don’t know, buying a house. Or possible, FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE WEDDING?! But we’re all here now and that’s [...]
Time to choose a winner for our awesome Roll & Tumble giveaway. I really should stop doing giveaways of stuff I want myself because then I just really end up resenting the winner which definitely goes against my brand of super-friendly (ha!) dispenser of free handmade loveliness but you know what? I’d really kill for [...]
When I was a kid, people often used to say that you were “pressed over” something instead of “obsessed with” it, as in “You’re sooo pressed over your new shoes” or, “Yeah, I like him, but I’m not pressed over him or anything.” (Shrug.) I never really missed “pressed” when it graduated from my uber-hip [...]
Noon on the dot! That wraps up our Jenni Penni giveaway, folks. What a fun one it was! I don’t know if I mentioned this, but I freaking LOVE Jenni Penni’s work. Did I mention that? I. Jenni. Love. Mucho. So you can imagine the partial heart attack I had when I discovered her Flickr [...]
Okay, I’m really excited about today’s giveaway. Like, really really. A few months ago, I won this lovely print from The Bright Side Project and since then I’ve become a serious fan of Jenni Penni, the artist behind that gorgeous photo. Jenni is a 21-year-old gal from Finland who claims to be a “total beginner” [...]
The Anna Ruby King giveaway ended a little over an hour ago and already a winner has been chosen! (Look how utterly on top of things I am today…) This was our second giveaway on The Spotted Duck and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer volume of entries we got! [...]
Anna Ruby King and I have a lot in common. We’re both Australian. (No wait, that’s her.) We both currently live in Athens, Greece. (Oops, her again.) We both make eco-friendly paper goods and accessories. (Damn!) Okay, obviously Anna Ruby King is way cooler than I am. But we do both have a thing for [...]
