Winner, winner, tofu dinner!
Congratulations, Lei! And thanks to everyone who participated. If you didn’t win this time, I’d love for you to come back again for my next giveaway. I’m thinking Halloween costumes/Mad Men…I have some tricks up my sleeve.
Have a wonderful night!

This month is an extra special giveaway with my old friend Ben!
His shop is so much fun to poke around. He’s got lots of basic tees with appliques of States, geometric shapes, or anatomy – so neat. Each image has a hidden pocket in it and he just started offering his tees fitted for ladies. I know you’ll love them.
I must admit that I feel a bit guilty. I convinced him to make a Maine shaped tee a few years ago when I was living there and still haven’t bought one for myself – doh. Perhaps he’ll come up with a New Hampshire one now that I live here again? Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.
The very generous sir has offered one lucky winner a $25 voucher for his shop! That means you can pick out whichever teeshirt you like the best and have it entirely for free. Super exciting stuff. All you have to do to enter is visit his shop then comment on this post to let me know which one you’d pick if you won. You’ve got until Wednesday night {September 26th} to make your choice! Make sure you do come back sometime next week to see if you’ve won, though. Last month my winner didn’t check in and she missed out on her prize – no fun.
Good luck to everyone who participates! May the random number generator Gods be in your favor! Oh, yes, while you’re over at Ben’s make sure you tell him I say “hi!”
Are you feelin’ lucky?

P.s. This giveaway is now closed! Check back in sometime next week to find out who won!

Congratulations, Robin!
I wish all of you could have won the $25 voucher to Olive Manna, but if you didn’t you can still use the 15% off discount until Thursday! Just type in JEEZEJULIA15 at check-out after you pick out your goodies. I’ll be doing another giveaway by the end of the month, too, so come back again if you’re feelin’ lucky!
Have a great night!
xx.
P.s. Robin, email me at hello.juliastrawberry@gmail.com to claim your prize! If I don’t hear from you by the 18th I’ll unfortunately have to give the code away to someone else. And thanks to Natalie of Olive Manna for participating!

When it comes to giveaways it’s better late than never, right?
The bulk of online stores these days sadden me because of their lack of a regard for their social or environmental impact or their capitalistic tendencies. Yet, there are still shops out there with integrity who seek to make a living doing what they love without compromising their ethics or selling out. I found Olive Manna only just a few weeks ago, but immediately loved everything in her shop {crafting supplies, vintage housewares, handmade decor, even iPhone covers!} and wanted to be able to share her beautifully curated collection with you, my readers. So I contacted her to see if she would be willing to participate in a giveaway.
She generously offered to provide one lucky reader with a $25 voucher to her online shop and a 15% off code {enter JEEZEJULIA15 at check out! Good until Thursday the 13th!} for those readers who don’t win, but would still like to pick something out. Then, she stunned me with her integrity; as is common with blog giveaways, to enter, one often has to “like” a page on facebook, follow on twitter, etc., etc. but Natalie of Olive Manna said she preferred not to gain followers in this way because she wanted to know that those who favourited her shop, read her blog, and kept up with her listings were doing so for genuine reasons. How refreshing! I’m so honored to have Olive Manna working with me on my August giveaway and I’m happy to support her shop for so many reasons.
Here’s how you enter: Just visit her shop and pick out your favourite item then leave a comment on this blog entry telling me which it is! That’s it! No nearly-endless list of social media links, no half-hearted tweeting – just pick out one thing you like the best from her and you could win $25 towards purchasing it! The contest will close Sunday night {September 9th}, so make sure you don’t wait too long to enter! I’ll be announcing the winner sometime next week, so don’t forget to check back in otherwise you may not know if you’ve won!
Good luck, everyone!

P.s. This giveaway is now closed. Check back this week to see the winner!

I’m nearing 100 sales in my Etsy shop!
To say thanks, and because I’m excited to hit that mark, I’m having a sale! All sales until I hit 100 {and including the 100th sale} will be 15% off with the discount code ONEHUNDREDSALES. Plus, the hundredth person themselves will get an 8 1/2 x 11″ framed print of The Days Are Long image that I made and shared last week. Wouldn’t that look lovely up on your wall?
Happy shopping!

You’ve all waited so patiently to find out who won the July giveaway with WorthyGoods Textile and MaineBelle Vintage! So without further ado; Congratulations, Jessica! If you didn’t win, we’ll have another giveaway next month, so come back and try again then!
Thanks for participating, everyone.

I heard this phrase for the first time recently.
And it’s really been keeping me sane ever since. Lately I’m feeling how long days can really be. Somehow 24 hours fly by in certain circumstances, but drag at a snail’s pace in others. I have a to-do list a mile long that can’t really get touched because I’m out of the house during my most productive hours. The days are long, but the years are short, so I must remember to take a deep breath and do the best that I can to enjoy and make the best of it all. Feel free to download the desktop size here so you can keep it in mind for your own life.
Happy hump day,
xx.

Happy giveaway day!
Two of my lovely sponsors have graciously decided to participate in this month’s giveaway! They’re both wonderful Mainers who understand and appreciate the importance of supporting local and thinking green – two major ideals in my life, too. They couldn’t be more wonderful if they tried! One lucky winner will receive the following from their respective Etsy shops:
WorthyGoods is my go-to place for any new fabric I purchase. Dory carries the dreamiest, comfiest, most unique assortment of organic fabrics that I’ve ever seen and always tucks a little something extra into her orders. She recently sent me a tiny vintage bobbin like these and it makes such a lovely display item in my studio! I’ve got some ric-rac that I scored at a yard sale and I plan to use my bobbin to keep it in line instead of just sticking it in a drawer. These beautiful bobbins could help you organize your yarn ends, ribbon, or twine so you can keep them out and looking nice without getting them all tangled up. Plus, these babies are from old textile mills that were powered mainly by water or steam, so they’re a little piece of American history!
MaineBelle vintage is a fun and friendly vintage shop with colorful items mainly from the ’60s through ’80s and Michelle’s offering the winner their choice of any one item from her shop! Personally, if I were the winner I’d go for the plaid spring rain jacket {good for fall, too!}, but that Marilyn Monroe dress is pretty tempting. And the pastel blouse is made up of my blog colors, perfect or what?
To enter the contest: Leave a comment below telling me your favourite summertime activity, then make sure you subscribe so you’ll know if you won when I announce the winner later this week!
* here’s a little something for everyone: Enter coupon code JEEZEJULIA15 at checkout and save 15% on any purchase at WorthyGoods Textile. This coupon is valid now through 6 PM Sunday, July 29th, and even if you don’t sew there are plenty of ways you can use Dory’s gorgeous fabrics. I use them for backgrounds all the time when I’m taking photos {my Photo Booth Friday heading is one of her fabrics!}, but you could also do something like this or this.
Good luck, everyone!

P.s. This contest is now closed! Stay tuned to find out who won!
