Update: 12/7 — Congratulations to Heather, winner of the wreath. Her number came up! Thanks, all, for playing! ENTRIES NOW CLOSED.

It’s time for our most awaited giveaway of the year — a chance to win one of Georgia Peachez’ gorgeous vintage Christmas ornament wreaths — complete with vintage kneehugger elf made to order just for me — to give away to one of you! As far as I know, Georgia Peachez was the pioneer of the vintage ornament wreath, and has honed her craft to perfection. There’s nothing quite like an original GeorgiaPeachez creation! Read on for the rules to enter — and note, you can enter here daily now through Monday, Dec. 4. 

As far as I know, Georgia Peachez aka Suzy was the first one to make and sell these wreaths starting about 10 years ago. She started a phenom! In the last few years, Suzy has also started creating non-wreath vintage goodies, such as arrangements made in vintage vessels like head vases, retro toys and Christmas ceramics, as well as dioramas made using the vintage ornament boxes. You can see a lot of her adorable creations on GeorgiaPeachez’s Facebook page and in her online shop. Bottom line, we just adore this artist and all she does!

How to enter to win this vintage ornament wreath made by GeorgiaPeachez:

  1. To win, you must be a subscriber to our newsletter (Yes, this is “what’s in it for the blog” — you can opt out at any time after the contest ends, or continue on for the stories and other, occasional giveaways.)
  2. To enter, use the Comment field on this post below and tell us what is your favorite part of the holiday season. Or whatever, we’re easy.
  3. You can enter once per day now through Monday, Dec. 4, 2017, when entries close. (You only need to subscribe to the newsletter once, though!)
  4. U.S. lower 48 states only. (These limits are in place because shipping (and customs internationally) gets prohibitively expensive in particular considering the fragility of this product and how carefully it must be wrapped.) 
  5. Repeate: Entries close on Monday, Dec. 4, 2017, around 5 p.m. Eastern — that is, Iwill close the Comments field at that time.
  6. Prize: There will be one winner. The winner will receive the vintage ornament wreath pictured above, made by the GeorgiaPeachez, mailed to you by Georgia Peachez.
  7. Pam will choose the winners via the Random Number Generator at random.org. I will check if the ‘winner’ is a newsletter subscriber. I will email the winner. [Tip: Be sure you enter your email address correctly in the email field of the Comment form.] The winner will have five business days to respond. If I do not hear from them, I  will choose the next person after who commented. Lather, rinse, repeat. I will post the winner’s first name as soon as all is confirmed. Note, I ‘clean up’ all the comments before choosing. That is, if someone A replies to another’s comment within the same day that someone A entered, I take out A’s comment. 
  8. Terms of use apply.

Many thanks to the fabulous GeorgiaPeachez!

Disclosure: I purchased this wreath for this giveaway

    I love watching the realization dawn in my non-verbal autistic daughter (now 28) that it is getting close to that “fun time” of year. First it is the Christmas decorations she spots at our local dollar store (her eyes get wide when she sees them for the first time and one can just about see a light bulb go off over her head lol.) When the tree goes up in our house (just a small purple one she chose years ago) her eyes get bigger and that “light bulb” gets brighter. Christmas music in the stores start to grab her attention as it is different than what is played the rest of the year. I’ll put out one present under the tree for her a few days before Christmas Day (something small, like a bottle of body wash or a basic Barbie doll. She is mentally about age 4 so waiting is haaaaard and yeah, she peeks.) Christmas Eve her little stocking gets hung on the electric fireplace mantle (I fill it with chocolate covered cherries. And yeah, it is an electric fake flame fireplace. Not chancing putting in a real fireplace in this late 1920’s/early 1930’s house.) That ‘light bulb” above her head goes off strong and bright–she knows the next day she can open up a few packages (5 or so small goodies to keep her from going into emotional overload.) I just love watching her excitement build up to this day and the delight in her eyes when she finally gets to open her goodies. It’s fun for us both for sure.
