Couturgatory Half Anniversary and Giveaway!

  Now that I have cleverly driven off people with my Sexy Unicorn face, I would like to announce Couturgatory's 6 month anniversary/100th post special celebration exclusive giveaway extravaganza! That's right, the fewer there are of you, the better your chances are of winning! I did this out of love.

  The rules are simple: if you would like to win the Couturgatory SCEGE, leave a comment on this post, with a valid e-mail address. Might want to format it using [at] and (d0t) or whathaveyou to avoid spam bots. I will draw a winner via random number generator in one week- on Saturday, November 9th.

  What will you be winning? These anatomically incorrect kidneysThis handmade Couturgatory orchid ornament! I've used the same wallpaper since Couturgatory started (and still not gotten around to fixing that sidebar with the 'follow' options) so I made an orchid in purple and white out of felt and batting. :D

  And since the ornament turned out more questionable-looking than I had hoped, by way of apology you also win a thrifted item. Of your choice! That's right, if you win you can shoot me info about your desired item and, if relevant, your size, and I will keep my keen thrifting eye out for you in San Francisco until I find it.

  You can be as specific as you like or leave it up to me! Examples include:
  "a full grey skirt by [brand], size 10"
  "a pastel floral shirt"
  "a teacup and saucer"
  "unicorn"

  While there are no guarantees, I thrift a few times a month, so your chances of getting something interesting are pretty good. :D

  It feels like a lot longer than 6 months, but I realized I started this blog when I was the most continually stressed out I'd been in my life to date, and that probably warps my sense of time. It's been wonderful (the blogging part, not the stress.)  I love each and every one of your comments, AND I'm pleased to announce that I've finally gained enough weight to be back to my pre-scholastic freakout size. I can even jog a few miles again! Things are coming up Aya.

  Thank you all so much for reading. I have met such wonderful new friends in the style blog community, and it turns out some of my pre-existing friends visit (I see you guys!) I have new awesome style and thrifting blogs I love to read, and I even get cards and beautiful things in the mail. I never imagined so many wonderful things would come about from me slapping some enthusiastic photos of my clothes onto the Internet and chattering away. My life is richer for having met all of you, and I cannot imagine my 2013 without you!
