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!

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,

If I could enter my own contest, I would.

This is my first big giveaway and I couldn’t be more excited about the prize! Shabby Apple has the most amazing vintage inspired pieces with which I would love to fill my closet. They also donate a portion of their sales to assist women in need worldwide so it’s a great company to support! I’ve picked out some of my favourites here, but please visit the site to see what else they have! From dresses, to swimwear, to accessories + home decor, there is so much to choose from!I love how nearly everything for sale on Shabby Apple is work appropriate! With longer hem lines and higher necklines they’ll work for so many occasions without sacrificing style. These are basically my dream clothes! And check out this peter pan collar/beehive combination. Perfect.

To enter, you’ll need to “like” Shabby Apple on facebook, and leave a comment here on this blog post saying what your favourite item is on their website. Then make sure you’re subscribed to my blog so you’ll know if you won! I’ll be accepting entries until Saturday night at 10 pm, and announcing the winner at some point next week. You must have a U.S. shipping address to win, but if you live out of the country and there’s someone here who wouldn’t mind receiving your package, feel free to enter!

Don’t be discouraged if you aren’t lucky, though, because Shabby Apple is so generous that they didn’t want to leave anyone out! Even if you don’t win, you can enter “jeezejulia10off” as a coupon code at the checkout to receive 10% off of your purchases for a month! Quick – the clock is ticking!

Good luck!

UPDATE: I’m no longer accepting entries for this giveaway. Any comments left on this entry after 10 pm Saturday, June 2nd will not be counted. Sorry! Find out who won by clicking here!

The long awaited spring swap is now approaching!

SWAPmaine recently announced the date and location for the next city wide clothing swap! June 10th is the big day and Portland Flea for All is where it will all go down. That means if you’re in New England it’s about time for you to sort through your closets and pull out all of those pieces you never wear. You can swap them with the items that other people bring and go home with a brand new wardrobe for free. Here’s what I found at the first SWAPmaine, and also at the second. Excited? I thought you would be.

Keep an eye on their website for more info!

Something to peruse while you sip your morning coffee:

I’ve added ads to the side of my blog! So far there are only three of my favourite bloggers and/or shop owners, but I have others lined up to participate, too! Keep an eye on this side bar and hop on over to their pages to find out why I like them so much! If you’re interested in sponsoring me, you can email me at hello.juliastrawberry@gmail.com for rates! I’d be so happy to hear from you and glad to make you a part of the support team.

Also, I created the image above for my best friend – a fellow coffee lover – for Christmas, but just found it again on my desktop {my desktop is messy…} and figured I might as well share. Click it to make it large, then drag it to your desktop if you think you might like to print it out or something!

Hope your Tuesday is fantastic!

I’m in the mood for a pop of colour!

So, I whipped up this lively desktop image. Of course, there’s no use keeping it to myself so you’re welcome to download it and use it as your own wallpaper during these first few moments of spring. My desktop has a tendency to become incredibly messy so every so often I need to pick a pretty new wallpaper that will inspire me to clean up a bit. I hope you love this as much as I do!

You’re all that + a cup of tea, my dears.

I love birthdays!

Today I’m spending lots of time with family and friends in celebration of my special day, but I had to share a little something in this space with you, too. Thank you for reading my posts, commenting, liking, and spending time with me via the internet. I’m so happy to share my little celebrations with all of you, and on days like this I’m especially appreciative.

I picked a lovely little crocus from our mini-garden, and would love to ship it your way to say thanks, but since flowers won’t last well in the mail, I’ll send you something different instead. To share the birthday joy, 5 commenters will receive a special package from me!

All you have to do is share with me a wish that you would make if you were the one blowing out the candles today! Don’t forget to include your email address so I can contact you for mailing details!I’ve decided upon a birthday braid, what do you think? Since my hair is growing out, but needs a trim, braids are a simple + safe way for me to style my hair. I’m just in love! One day I’ll perfect the fishtail, but until then I’m sticking with this:

Now I’m off to eat some cake or something! I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying the spring-like weather we’ve been having this week. I know that I will be!

Happy Pi Day!

Durrrrrrr!

Do you know what I forgot to do? I forgot to give you all the free mp3 download of The Rugg Brothers’ first original Christmas song! I can be a real goon sometimes. Anyway, I hope you’re all doing quite well today, and that you’ll enjoy this song by my Mr. and his very best friend. It was so much fun to make this video last year, and also, to make their new video for this year’s song!

Download “It’s Christmas Again” here!

Yesterday I took a photo an hour, and I’ll be sharing them all with you tomorrow. I’m still pretty swamped with Christmas gift making {as fun as it is}, so bear with me. Listen to The Rugg Brothers on repeat until I’m back, maybe?

Have a great night!

xx.
