anthropologie giveaway!

this past week or so i’ve reached 600 followers that i know of who are subscribed here. that’s not as many as many other blogs i know of, but still…i was pretty excited about this. i wanted to do a giveaway and this one is perfect for the spring…almost summer. if i had to choose one place where i could go and get things for my home or shoes or clothes (although they are way pricey) it would be anthropologie. so this is a little get-yourself-a gift-for-the-spring giveaway. i’ll be giving away one $50 giftcard.

become a follower of this blog via google friend connect or bloglovin’. leave a comment below with how you might use your $50 (home decor, clothing, a gift, shoes…)

i’ll draw and e-mail a winner via random.org one week from today, may 2nd.

for extra entries: tweet/facebook/blog about this giveaway and be sure to leave a comment with a link. (make a separate comment for each one.)

I was just in anthropologie the other day, dreaming of things I wished I could afford. I would use the giftcard to help decorate our brand new house or possibly buy a dress for my graduation from my master’s program coming up in a little less than three weeks!

Tawnie - April 25, 2011 - 3:13 pm

Oh my gosh. I love Anthropologie! I’ll most likely be using it for clothes, but I’m keeping my options open :) So many cute things!

Thanks for doing this!

Arielle,
You have a beautiful blog! I enjoy reading your encouraging and heartfelt posts. I also love that you’re doing an Anthropologie gift card giveaway! I’ve been dreaming of owning the fun Negative Space wedges since I received their Spring catalogue in the mail. I’m also loving the Verdant Slip dress for summer!

delaney - April 25, 2011 - 3:24 pm

I follow you, of course.

If I won, I’d probably spend it on clothes or something from the “at the desk” items. so hard to decide!

Darcy - April 25, 2011 - 3:24 pm

So fun! I’ve never purchased anything from anthro because I can’t afford it, but I’ve always admired their clothing from a distance. I would use the $50 to get something cute for myself. I just got back from 6 months abroad with YWAM (Youth With A Mission, also known as Youth Without Any Money)!

Alannah Renee - April 25, 2011 - 3:27 pm

I’m a follower through Google friend connect, and I’d probably use the gift card for a vintage dress (love vintage!), or I’d use it on homewares for my hope chest:)

Kristen W. - April 25, 2011 - 3:27 pm

Congrats on your blog growth! I would love to get some new summer pieces for my wardrobe!

Cory - April 25, 2011 - 3:29 pm

YAY! Anthropologie is one of my favorite places. It would be extra wonderful to have a gift card! Umm, I would probably use the gift card for some pretty home decor! Or maybe a purse. Or a dress?!
Thanks for the giveaway sweet friend!

Darcy - April 25, 2011 - 3:31 pm

I would use the $50 towards something fun and springy for myself. I just got back from 6 months abroad with YWAM (Youth With A Mission, aka Youth Without Any Money)!

Sarah Mendenhall - April 25, 2011 - 3:35 pm

Oooh what I great giveaway! I already follow your blog! What would I do with a $50 giftcard? Well, I would head to my local Anthropologie store and check out their sale items first. I love their handtowels and aprons! And if none of the sale items suited my fancy I would buy a new set of sheets or one of their amazing unique pillows for my hopechest. :)

Leigh - April 25, 2011 - 3:37 pm

Wow! 600! I will be grateful when I get to 100 ;). Which I’m not too far away from!

Kelsey - April 25, 2011 - 4:13 pm

Chetreanna - April 25, 2011 - 4:41 pm

I would use it to get a t-shirt or a dress for summer! It would be lovely to not go thrifting for once. lol And enjoy the benefits of NOT having to spend any unnecessary money as well. I love your blog and thank you for being such a great giver!

♥cheche

kimbirdy - April 25, 2011 - 4:45 pm

there are oh so many ways i could spend money at anthropologie, but right now i would probably use it to send my momma & big sister mother’s day gifts. they are both extraordinary women who did a fantastic job raising kids with very little. i would love to send them something cute and special!

megan - April 25, 2011 - 4:46 pm

Well, I’m already a Google follower, but I just posted a link about your giveaway on my Facebook Wall and left a comment about your blog: http://www.facebook.com/yolandaevonne. If I won, I would get decor for our home FOR SURE! I’ve only been to Anthropologie ONCE and I LOVED it! Gregg and I were up in Orange County at our first Married Couples’ Retreat a couple years ago and we were given some free time during our weekend. So we chose to visit Fashion Island and there it was! Gregg and I both thought the store was VERY creative and had A LOT of fun looking through it. I’ll see if I can whip up a blog entry about your giveaway. =)

P.S. Like I’ve mentioned before, it’s been REALLY cool to see how your blog has grown. I’m glad it’s reaching so many people! ♥

Brandy - April 25, 2011 - 6:22 pm

carlotta - April 25, 2011 - 6:24 pm

Annnd, because I forgot to add it to my last comment ;), I think I’d spend my fifty dollars on either a pretty dress, jewelry, or those to-die-for latte bowls. It would definitely be a hard choice!

I would use my gift card to give as a gift to my dad’s girlfriend to decorate their new home. I’m not there to see my father and his girlfriend, and beautiful sister. I would love to give them something that would brighten their home.

Gaby - April 25, 2011 - 10:06 pm

oooh, pick me! I would choose a dress, like I always do when i walk into anthro. And i’m already a follower, of course :)

Mrs. Biscuit - April 25, 2011 - 10:06 pm

I would definitely purchase some pretty little trinkets for my house! I love the “Biscuit” latte bowls they sell and I’ve been looking for a new quilt for ages… Perhaps some extra dollars would be the push I need to buy myself something pretty! =)

melody - April 25, 2011 - 10:39 pm

oh my goodness…dream give away! I would use the card for clothes!!!!

Amy F - April 25, 2011 - 10:43 pm

Oh I agree I love anthropologie but can’t really ever afford anything from there. I would use the gift card to buy a summer dress, or to buy some cute door knobs for a project I want to try. Well again thanks for writing. I enjoy reading and maybe I’ll win :).

Crafty Mariko - April 25, 2011 - 10:52 pm

Congratulations on 600 followers!

Jessica Bussell - April 25, 2011 - 10:53 pm

The best givaway I’ve ever entered! I’m a follower and I have no idea what I’d spend it on…maybe glasses to finish a set I’ve started and clothes.

Jessica Williams - April 25, 2011 - 11:31 pm

You are on my google reader girl!! Love your blog, congratulations on the 600! I would get something for my house, I never have from there but have always wanted to!

emily fregin - April 25, 2011 - 11:41 pm

I have also admired the amazing things in this store but it is quite pricey…i would use the giftcard to buy home decor. I’m going to be saving so that one day I can decorate my apartment in Anthropologie ;)

Chelsea Brown - April 26, 2011 - 12:04 am

I would use the gift card to buy some unique knobs for these two end table dressers my grandma gave me when I got married in July- my grandma has had these dressers around for years and now I have them and I want to give them a nice face lift :) I would also love to get a special little tea cup for my tea and some clothes would be great!
Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

Chelsea Brown - April 26, 2011 - 12:06 am

I just posted your blog on my facebook page!!!!

Laura - April 26, 2011 - 12:46 am

I am now following you on Bloglovin’. :) I would probably go for one of their delicate or pendant necklaces.

bri - April 26, 2011 - 1:10 am

i’ve been a follower through GFC and lalaloveeee anthropologie but like everyone else can’t afford it unless i am lucky and find something on the sale rack, hah! i would use this towards buying my sister her confirmation dress this upcoming may, since i’m her sponsor and love her that much :)

Elle - April 26, 2011 - 4:30 am

if i was to win:

i would send my gift card over to friend in muizenberg, cape town and allow her and her husband to get a fruit bowl. i was going on a road trip to capetown and the girl i was suppose to go with pulled out on me the night before because of issues. i had saved up for this trip for so long and i wasn’t going to miss seeing my friend’s band, scarlet hill, perform in capetown. so i prayed, as i was flipping out about the whole thing, me going to cape town by myself?! i phoned my friend and she said, phone jade, she just moved to cape town. God’s love and grace poured out on me. i didn’t deserve this whole insane trip, but it worked out every bit of the way. jade and sean took me under there wing. they had just got married, so not only was i able to encounter the godly marriage life of newly wedds, but i also got to check out scarlet hill.

why the fruit bowl you ask? well every morning, sean would miss the fruit because it was in the draws and he would say to jade, love, we need a fruit bowl.

they need a fruit bowl. :)

p.s i don’t know if this applies to south africans? oh well.

Chelsea - April 26, 2011 - 7:51 am

Jessica - April 26, 2011 - 10:06 am

It would be so tough narrowing down what I would want to get, because I love everything there, but I’m in search for a fun and colorful new spring/summer dress. Thanks for the chance!

Alexi - April 26, 2011 - 10:47 am

Yay! I love your blog and so happy that you’ve reached 600!

hmmm Anthropology is one of my favorite stores but I only shop in the back sale room. This will give me a chance to buy some new dining room accessories… I’m thinking one of their cute table clothes.

So fun, I’m just really happy for you!

Krysten - April 26, 2011 - 10:52 am

I think if I won I’d use it on home decor! I’ve got the decorating bug lately.

Deborah - April 26, 2011 - 4:31 pm

What a sweet idea, Arielle!! They have so many adorable things … hmmm, how to choose what I would do with a gift card?! Well, a bright new scarf for spring would be fun, then again, they have some nice journals, too! :)

Andrea - April 26, 2011 - 4:34 pm

I too LOVE Anthropologie and can always find something for myself, my home, or a gift. I have recently become a new momma, so I would love to spend it on something to spruce up my look!

Deborah - April 26, 2011 - 4:44 pm

Marguerite - April 26, 2011 - 4:54 pm

First: I adore, adore, adore, your blog. It’s the first Christian one I’ve found–how beautiful! You do a wonderful job teaching others how to live a more lovely life.

I assume this doesn’t need to be said…but I follow your blog.

I’m an undergrad English student (struggling writer/photographer) and I’m lucky enough to be able to study literature in Ireland next year…I would ABSOLUTELY without a shadow of a doubt use the 50$ to buy something elegant and classy to have with me in Europe–as a college student I don’t neccessarily have enough money to buy as many clothes as I like (although I am extraordinarily and unfortunately fond of fashion…).

Thank you so much for reading and inspiring and dreaming beautiful dreams!

Marguerite

Alyssa - April 26, 2011 - 4:59 pm

I heart anthropology and I love your blog!!! If I had a $50 gift card I would buy some cute decore for my son’s nursery and a little something new for myself. I am expecating my first little bundle of joy in May and my husband and I are so excited to have a little boy running around. After what seems like an enternity of being pregnant I would love to be able to get something nice for myself besides maternity clothes :) and as you know buying things for your little one is always fun!

tanja - April 26, 2011 - 5:05 pm

i love anthropologie, but like you said, they are quite pricey…
if i won this gift card, i would go and buy myself a pretty summer dress! i love their dresses – so sweet and sophisticated, but still playful and fun!
*fingers crossed*
thanks again :)

Vanessa - April 26, 2011 - 6:24 pm

I have never bought anything from anthropologie and i’ve heard it is expensive so i’ve never even looked and tempted myself but some of the previous commentors have some great ideas, i’d love some new clothes for myself that are not maternity (I have a 4 month old, he has the same outfit your little one was wearing in the easter post :) Although a cute apron would be nice too :)
I’ve followed you through google reader for a while now- not sure what google friend connect is though…

Christy - April 26, 2011 - 7:33 pm

i love anthro and am moving into a new house this summer and would love some new dishes! :)

Rebekah - April 26, 2011 - 7:37 pm

Katie - April 26, 2011 - 9:37 pm

I’d like to say I might use it on something for our house but I can rarely choose anything over clothes!!! I love reading your blog!!

Anna @ WritingThisLife - April 26, 2011 - 10:07 pm

I would use the gift card in my favorite section of Anthro–the sale room! I just scored the cutest dress and shirt at 50% last weekend and I have my eye on a few other pieces!

Rylie - April 26, 2011 - 10:10 pm

You’re just the best!

I’d get me some new spring clothes. ;)

Sarah Gleason - April 26, 2011 - 10:11 pm

Ariel - April 27, 2011 - 1:30 am

I would use the card to purchase something fun for my son noah’s room, something he would enjoy looking at from his crib.

Melissa - April 27, 2011 - 7:52 am

I could live at Anthro – seriously love that place. As for $50? I am lusting after some home accessories for our new house.

Christina - April 27, 2011 - 9:18 am

I think I’d probably buy a pretty spring top or dress to wear on my vacation next month! Anthropologie is my favorite, but I can rarely afford it. :)

Lara - April 27, 2011 - 12:45 pm

Ohh! Excellent giveaway!

I’d treat myself to something lovely to wear! We’re newlyweds, just moved, and are both in new jobs so we have zero money that isn’t tied up in absolutely necessary expenses. I haven’t purchased new clothes for myself in forever! So, I’d use it for a sweet little pick-me-up just in time for summer!

Anonymous - April 27, 2011 - 1:24 pm

I love your blog and I love anthropologie!!!! If i win I will get some cute bowls to put some cute earrings in!!! Congrats on all the followers…I look forward to the day I can celebrate having 600 followers!

I think I might put it towards a pretty Spring dress. Or maybe something for my home? Anthro is my favorite store, so I would definitely have a hard time deciding. :)

Georgina Cook - April 29, 2011 - 6:56 am

I just watched your modesty video and it cut me to the heart. There are sooo many nice clothes there… that just aren’t helping my brothers. I would love this voucher to go buy something that is gorgeous… and MODEST! For the guys. xxx

Stefanie A. - April 30, 2011 - 2:42 am

600 followers is A LOT! What a fun giveaway.

My little sister adores this store… I would give the giftcard to her. I like the store, but not nearly as much as she does. Maybe I’d split it with her, since I do like their grocery pads :)

Elizabeth - May 1, 2011 - 2:44 am

Probably a floaty sundress to pack with me to Paris this summer :)

Who knows? some knobs, shower curtain, a fun scarf, so many pretty things it can drive me crazy to browse.

Paige - May 1, 2011 - 6:47 pm

My word. Anthropologie is my most favorite store. I would used the giftcard to buy the bird door knocker I absolutely love. This poor college student can’t buy anything there.

malkatz - May 2, 2011 - 5:13 pm
