1000th Follower Giveaway!

Guys, I love you. I love that you come by every day to read my ramblings and to leave witty, brilliant, informative comments. I love your opinions on shoes and that you cheer me on when I need it. I even love that you tell me when I'm wrong. A lot of different voices contribute to this blog and for that I thank all of you. I wish I could give you each a present! Alas, I have but one to give. A brand new copy of Blueprints of Fashion: Home Sewing Patterns of the 1940s is up for a giveaway!

This is one of my favorite fashion history books, so it seems a fitting celebratory prize. All you have to do is leave a comment here to be entered. You can enter until Monday, April 26th at midnight EST. All countries are eligible! Make sure you stop by on Tuesday to see if you're the winner.

Thanks for reading, dear friends.

  14. Gertie, I'v wanted this book for a long time. I've had it in my Amazon shopping cart forever and as soon as I get some disposable income, I'll buy (provided I don't win it here.)

    Peace,

  27. I'm not sure when the closing time is - last time I calculated one for a blog competition I thought it had closed and it HADN'T and I missed out - and I would love a book about 1940's clothing so I'd better comment and be on the safe side. :)
    I'm reading through most of the entries on your blog, it's a good read :)
