Check out this cool store & a giveaway:

So you might have caught on that I've acquired another new favorite online store. I highlighted a few products from Shoestring Home in some past End of the Week Links. I just can't seem to stay out of that store. Mandi's got such a wide variety of offerings available and each one is oh-so-cool. Of course I am in love with her wire baskets, but here are a few more glimpses into her great store:


And guess what? Mandi's giving away a set of coasters to one Perfect Sentiment reader! The Modern Twist Birds 'n Trees Coaster Notz are similar to the wine glass tagz I fell in love with a few weeks ago, in that you can personalize them with names and reuse. They are awesome and could be yours:


To enter just become a follower and leave a comment about your favorite item(s) from Shoestring Home. I'll announce the winner in a week, on Tuesday, July 21st. Be sure to stop by and say hello to Mandi over at her blog, My Shoestring Life too.

Sidenote: I've started to host a few giveaways here and there because, well, it's way fun to win stuff... I have been so lucky to have won several giveaways (some seriously awesome stuff!). It's such a nice surprise when it happens and it has made this economic slump quite a bit more bearable. There are so many generous folks out there with great businesses, and I'd just like to help spread it around. I'm having a great time "meeting" these neat people and getting to showcase their stuff. And I love that someone gets their day made with a little surprise. I hope you're enjoying them as much as I am!

This is such a great giveaway (and such a great store!)

It was hard to pick my favorite on the site but I kept coming back to the Marseilles Beverage Dispensers - so different, great for parties. I love!

The "Argyle Wine Rack" is pretty darn cute! I also love all of the baskets!

Thanks for the chance to win!

Oh dear! She has so many cute and wonderful things to choose from! Which to choose? Which to choose? Um...I love the aprons, but I also like the luggage tag set and the petite shell mirrors. Oh, and the quilted throws are fantastic!

Thank you.

Wow... these are gorgeous! They go with the black and white scheme that I am obsessing about lately!

I'm a sucker for gorgeous textiles, and the Tuxedo napkin (http://www.shoestringhome.com/White_Ruffle_Napkin.html) really charmed me! What whimsy, to have little ruffles adorn the edge of what is meant to be one of the more functional parts of the table setting. I think I'd be a lot more likely to have a nice, sit-down dinner at home with my husband if I had pretty napkins like that! Oh, and the coasters are to die for! Gotta love birds. :)

Also, love the blog!
