Update 11/28: Congratulations to winner Ginny, who won when I spun the random! Thanks everyone for playing! Come back next year for Year #9!
[Entries now closed.] It’s the most wonderful time of the year — time again for a chance to win a vintage Christmas ornament created especially for Retro Renovation by the one and only Georgia Peachez. I commissioned this wreath from Suzy for our annual giveaway — our 8th, I went back and counted! Note: I’m taking Thanksgiving week off — this contest will stay at the top of the homepage all week. Have a wonderful week, everyone! Read on for how to enter:
As far as I know, Georgia Peachez was the pioneer of the vintage ornament wreath about 10 years ago, and has honed her craft to perfection. She started a phenom! There’s nothing quite like an original Georgia Peachez creation! Read on for the rules to enter — and note, you can enter here daily now through Monday, Nov. 26.
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, I just adore this artist and all she does!
How to enter to win this vintage ornament wreath made by GeorgiaPeachez:
- 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.)
- 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.
- You can enter once per day now through Monday, Nov. 26, 6 p.m., when entries close. (You only need to subscribe to the newsletter once, though!)
- U.S. lower 48 states only. (These limits are in place because shipping and customs get prohibitively expensive in particular considering the fragility of this product and how carefully it must be wrapped.)
- Repeat: Entries close on Monday, Nov. 26, 2018, around 6 p.m. Eastern — that is, I will close the Comments field at that time.
- 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.
- 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.
- Terms of use apply.
Many thanks to the fabulous GeorgiaPeachez!

My favorite part of Christmas is baking our traditional cookies and decorating for my grown kids.
Leah says
Seeing everyone happy. It seems like this is the only time of year that people shrug off their petty problems and help others…even if it’s just a smile.
Monica DiCamillo says
I just had a fantastic conversation with my grand daughter on FaceTime. She was so excited to show me how they spent the rest of their holiday weekend after leaving here Thursday evening. Her excitement over the holidays just warms my heart.
Patrick says
My fave things about the holidays are friends, family, food, and Shiny Brites! 😉
Margie Johnson says
shopping for fun stocking stuffers for my kids!
Tammy M. says
The YMCA I go to has a giving tree– each ornament/tag lists an item one of the kids wants or needs, and folks take the tags and then buy the item for the child in need. I’ve enjoyed participating this each year! That and thoughts of peace on earth and good will to all get me in the Xmas spirit. Thinking of that wreath gets me in the kitschmas spirit!!!!!

Watching “Love Actually” which by now should be considered “Period Drama” !
CarolK says
Ann, “Love Actually” is one of my new favorites. Another one is “The Family Stone” which has a Deaf character. I have a Deaf granddaughter and it’s lovely to see how the Deaf family member is integrated into the family.
Anne Reynolds says
One of my favorite things to do is bake stolen – it’s a family tradition for Christmas morning breakfast.
Patty Nelson Merrifield says
One of my family’s favorite Christmas traditions is picking out a live tree at our local nursery while drinking their hot cider in the cold. (Getting it in the stand once at home, however, is NOT a favorite!)
Jen says
Can’t wait to see all the lights!
