Giveaway Thursday

GIVEAWAY DETAILS BELOW

Remember how I went to the Saturday Market last weekend? Remember how I was telling you I picked up a new bag from a very persistent Asian gal? Well here is why:

This is my old purse. I got it about four years ago on the streets of NYC for a great deal! I hadn't been much of a purse person before so this was kind of a big leap for me! But I've loved it! It's been so versatile yet with personality.

 But, all of that LOVE has taken its toll on my poor bag. 

Wow, the tattered state of this bag is a little more embarrassing than I realized. No wonder the Huz was so excited for me to pick out something at the Saturday Market!

And now, for the new addition to my daily life:

I just noticed yesterday, on the inside there are cute little teal bits that match exactly my wallet I got from Target over a year ago! I think it was meant to be!

What do you think? Do you approve?

But, like I've hinted since getting back - I wasn't the only one to walk away from the Saturday Market with something to add a little pizazz to my life. YOU could, too!!

I picked up these beautiful earrings from Dianne Burghardt at the Saturday Market! And, one lucky winner will be drawn to win them!

 I think they're gorgeous!! 

Dianne's business is Mega Beads, boasting "Quality Handcrafted Jewelry" and she and her husband are from West Linn, Ore.

1. Go to the Salvage Maid Facebook Page and 'Like' it.

There you have it, up to FOUR ways you can be entered to win! The winner will be announced April 10th!  That means you have 10 DAYS to enter and win. This isn't limited to women, men - I'm sure you have a mother, sister, wife, girlfriend, cousin, friend who would LOVE to be surprised with a pretty something special! 

Happy Thursday! 

Saturday Market

I haven't posted in a couple of days ... my sister-in-law got married Friday, so me and the Huz were in Portland. We enjoyed a fun filled Friday full of weddingness, food and a Portland Trail Blazer game.

Saturday Eric and I went to the Portland Saturday Market. The first time I ever went there was probably sometime in my teens, if not earlier. I got a ring made from a fork from the Spoonman. And yes, the Spoonman still has a booth there all these years later!

If you're ever in the Portland area on the weekend, I highly recommend taking a couple hours here. The sights, sounds and smells are stimulating enough, but then you have lots of artisans selling their handmade goods. I picked up a treat for myself .... but also one for you! Stay tuned for details on how to win a little somethin' somethin' from the infamous Saturday Market.

And now some visuals...

 Mmm, Marionberry Jam

 After I took this photo, Eric pointed out the "No Photos" sign attached - see part of it in the upper left? Oops! 

 Some of the Spoonman's newer inventions. Ouch! 

 I married such a mature guy. 

 This little Asian woman at the bag stand was quite the sales lady. She basically thrust the bag into my hands and ripped away the cash from Eric's clutches. Yes, I bought a new bag - to be shown later!

 Thanks for taking an eating photo honey, I really love those.

What does that say about our generation when Huz first sees this photo and exclaims, "Profile Pic!"

Like I said, I wasn't the only one who came away with Saturday Market treats, you might, too! Stay tuned for details on how to win a gorgeous, handmade lovely from the Market!
