okay… not normally
but it’s a great day
because of
the great monday give-away™
yippie!
i just want to emphasize
and those who
know me well
can vouch for this…
i have a lot of stuff.
so many many years
of thrift shopping
(and a brief
but intense
ebay habit)…
in fact,
yesterday
i was trying
to organize
my closet for
the warm weather
(darn, i should have
taken a photo for you)
and i pulled out of
my storage container
over 20 wrap skirts!
i was a embarrassed.
i mean how many
wrap skirts
does a girl need?!
but you see
i was clever
(not usually the case).
i knew wrap skirts
were the way to go
because they
adjust in size
heheee…
so as i am getting
into my 30s and
i am no longer
the waif that i once was
i can still fit
into my wrap skirts!
well, most of them.
so this give-away idea
is slowly catching on…
two wonderful bloggers,
miss dacia ray
and
amy
are also giving things away
today!
you see, it is
a good monday
after all!
here are the very
official
great monday give-away™ guidelines.
please read them
before claiming items.
also read about previous
give-aways here
and here.
now it’s time
for
the great monday give-away™:
1.
malia designed clothes
for those 60s/70s
hawaiian vacations…
picture yourself
on a beach
with a mai tai
and that’s this skirt.
i absolutely adore
the design
but this skirt
is too small for me…
hopefully it will fit one of you.
this is really
a pseudo wrap skirt
because the pattern
needs to line up
at a particular waist size
which is ~ 28 inches.
2.
janzen is an old company
that has been designing
sportswear and activewear
since the 1940s…
but it was a lot more
stylish in the past.
this is another
tennis skirt
with a great design
and at tiny waist of 28 inches.
hope it fits someone
out there!
3.
i purchased this
at a thrift store
for some project
that never got done.
it’s not my style anymore
so maybe one of you
could use it?!
~44 x 60 inches.
4.
okay,
i am just throwing
this one out there.
i use to wear these
a long time ago
but god knows
why i still have them
(i don’t’ wear heels
and my style is not quite
as out there
as it once was)
but i think
they are cool on the right gal (or guy).
i bought them at a store
in hermosa beach
in the late 80s.
so they are vintage
twice over!
i wear size 8.
crab not included.
5.
are the days of
saving checks
passé?
this could also be used
to keep track of receipts
if you are the organized type.
i am very organized
but receipts
end up waded somewhere
in my pocket or purse
99.9% of the time.
6.
great for the knitter
on the go
with compartments
for yarn and needles
plus
a handy-dandy
measuring ruler
at the bottom.
it’s brown.
i have more knitting bags
than i know what to do with.
7.
so cute!
check out the inside pattern.
perfect for your
carry-on luggage.
clean and in
near-perfect condition.
a little help
with shipping costs
would be appreciated
for this item.
hope you find something you like…
please pass on the word about
great monday give-away™.
if something you receive
does not fit
or you do not like it
please pass it on to someone else.
please do not sell the items
i give to you for free.
thanks.
i look forward to your postcards.
let me know if you are
hosting a monday give-away!
have a great monday!

I almost jumped on the Malia skirt since it's my name and all. But 28" is a little too tiny for me. :(
i want the wrap skirt omg! and the knitting bag is dope, too, but i have too many bags.
wait. is it possible to have too many bags? maybe i *do* want the knitting bag.
ooh ooh! i want the jantzen skirt too. i'm grabby, but i never get in on your monday giveaways in time.
i think 28" would fit me -- that just means it sits higher, yeah?
If Suz doesn't want the knitting bag after all ;) I could find a home for it! And I love the check box too! I'm working up my previous postcard for you today - should be in the mail this week! :)
jenn can have the knitting bag. i'm already being too greedy with the skirts. i just got excited. ;-)
xo
suz
i would love to send
you all
more than one item
but i think it's
most fair
to spread the wealth.
let me know
your first choice
and if no one claims
your second choice
by the time i mail it out,
i will send you both.
does that sound fair?
sorry. ;-( i forgot about the one-item-per-grabby-pony rule because i've never gotten to play great monday give-away(tm) before. bad newbie!
xo
suz
it's good to get excited
about free stuff!
:)
don't apologize.
i am super-grabby-
how the hell
do you think
i ended up with
all of this stuff!
xo
Do you think i could grab the fabric? Pretty please? Thankyou. ;-)
love the check box!
and we don't even use checks over here... must be my soon-to-be-mom-so-everything-shall-be-organized-hormones...
(i can pay shipping costs in nijntje-socks, droste chocolat, or HEMA roll-ons...)
What lovely goodies! I am back from my break and ready to send you a thank you package for treats I recieved, I promise to not make you wait much longer!
the shoes are MINE!!!!!! love them!
I would love the Jantzen skirt if it is still unclaimed! I found your blog through daciaray.com. This Monday give-away is a great idea... I don't own too much stuff, but I live in a one bedroom apartment, so I always need to clear out some space. Maybe I'll try a Monday give-away too.
