One World, One Heart 2011

Hello, world!  Welcome to my blog!
 
My name is Laurie, and I call my blog "Indulge Your Shelf" because I often post about the pretty things that catch my eye at antique stores, thrift shops, estate sales, street fairs, flea markets and the like -- and end up on my shelf at home, or in my Etsy shop by the same name!  My maternal grandmother had a great love for pretty old things, and it was she who taught me to rummage for treasures in thrift shops, to collect what I love, to sew, and to embroider.  And, that's another thing I write about often on my blog: creating!

I love to sew and re-purpose vintage and antique linens into pillows and sachets, plus, I do a little bit of crazy quilting (and sane quilting, too); and, lately I'm big into paper crafting with ephemera.  In fact, I probably do paper art more than sewing these days.  I also do some regular, special event scrap booking.

I love paper -- the older the better!  I collect many small antique items, but mainly I'm passionate about buttons, lace, fabric, and china.

I also like to write about my travels, what I'm reading, my fitness efforts, and anything else that's going on in my life -- or yours!  I love to link to my friend's blogs and what they're doing that's inspiring me.

When I'm not antiquing or crafting, I'm writing about antiquing in my column on examiner.com; someday, I hope to make writing my full-time career.  I do all this from my home in Colorado, USA, where I live with my husband, teenage son, and two dogs.

My son and I -- he's a Boy Scout

This is the third year I've participated in One World, One Heart, and I love the event because it celebrates the blogging community the world over, and promotes friendships!  I have met so many wonderful, artistic, friendly people through OWOH over the past two years!

It's my sincere wish that you enjoy your visit here, and that you bookmark my blog or become a new follower, and come back often!  I will do the same!  Last year, I  managed to return the visit to everyone who stopped by and commented on my OWOH post!
Me, at 23, in Paris
Enough about me: let's get to the giveaway!  In the past, my blog giveaways for OWOH have been gifts handmade by me, but this year I decided to offer items that everyone, even those who don't necessarily love handmade stuff, might enjoy.  So, since this is a worldwide event, I have decided on a theme of Paris -- one of my favorite cities in this world of ours -- for my gifts!

Have you ever been there? I've been there twice, and love the feeling of being in the City of Lights.  It's one of those cities that feels alive, like my own hometown of San Francisco, CA.  I would really love to return to Paris someday; until then, here's my little tribute to a beautiful city.

I'm giving away two gifts packages that are nearly identical, so when you comment on this post only you will have two chances to win this package:

It's all the stuff I love and would love to win myself, from some of my favorite lines, and also from my stash of antique and vintage ephemera!
First, from K & Company, two new packages of supplies; one is Rub-on Magic, sticky embellishments that you sprinkle glitter on to create sparkly embellishments, and, a package of colorful, inspirational words in 3D stickers.
Second, from Punch Studio, whose over-the-top designs I adore, this new package of paper hand towels with a Parisian theme, and...
from the same line, this beautiful set of three heavily embellished, 3D note cards -- the perfect way to welcome Spring!

Next, I'll be sending you a package of ephemera, hand picked from my own stash, with many French pieces to inspire you to create a journal, or tags, or collage, or to use in your mixed media or altered art!
The kit includes pages from old books, an antique postcard, music sheet, shorthand scribblings...
French text, a page from a 1858 ledger...
antique doily, antique greeting card, bits of vintage wallpaper, and other scraps.
I'm also including bits of antique Dresden foil, millinery, lace and trim, Dennison labels...
 antique and vintage buttons...
vintage seam binding in a few different colors, and two pieces of French-themed charms!
It's my hope that this whole collection of new and antique gifts -- all around the Parisian theme -- will be an inspiration to you, and will remind you of the rhyme and reason for the One World, One Heart event!

Remember: to enter, please leave a comment on this post only, between now and 11:59 PM MST (UTC-7) on February 16, 2011, and be sure that I can contact you either by having your email address enabled on your Blogger profile, or having an easy-to-find "email me" link on your blog; otherwise, you must include your email address in your comment so I can reach you!  Remember, according to the organizer of OWOH, this is a blogging event so you must be an active blogger to participate!  ALSO: if you are reading this on Facebook, you must visit my actual blog and comment to be entered!

On February 17, I will choose two winners via a Random Number Generator tool, and contact you via email if you are a winner!  You will need to email me your mailing address so I can send your prize to you.  If you are chosen to win the giveaway but don't respond with 48 hours of my notifying you on February 17,  then I will have to choose an alternate winner! 

To learn more about One World, One Heart, visit Lisa's site.

Thank you again for visiting!  I truly appreciate
each and every one of you!

You mentioned "fitness endeavors" I am hosting a Wednesday Weigh-In in an effort to keep me motivated to drop a few pounds and exercise is my downfall, HATE it, LOL

It was so nice to meet you. I have one son too who was a boy scout many years ago. Never been to Paris, but in the 80s my in-laws were there several times ('business trips' that my late mother-in-law went along on). We got a pastel drawing of our son from one of their trips.

Don't you just love piles of pretty stuff? I do! I love old text, from cool old books. Bits and pieces of someone else's life that I put into art, as a way to help it live on. Appreciated and not forgotten. Thank you for putting together such cool gifties for Lisa's last hurrah event! Tina

What talent you have. I took a quick look around your blog and was quite impressed. I'll be back after the event. I would LOVE to win this giveaway because I have never been to Paris and San Francisco is one City in the US I have never been to. I'm # 11, and would love to have you stop by if you haven't already.

I don't wish to boast, but when I was younger, my Mum used to take me to Paris often....never got up the Eiffel Tower though as it was always closed because of wind. I would love to win one of your giveaway packs....please come on over to my blog and enter my OWOH giveaway. Hugs Naomi from Berri, Sth Australia
WOW, Laurie! Your post is awesome and your giveaways are amazing! Perfect!!! One of the things I love most about OWOH is that we met two years ago and have become daily friends! Fun, caring, sharing...all fabulous moments to cherish.
Thanks for being my friend!

I've never been to Paris myself but there is a sort of magic about it, you can tell by looking at pictures and talking to anyone who ever has been there. One day I'll get there.

I've lived in France twice, and prefer Rouen to Paris, but I do agree it's a great place to be. I'll be moving to Moldova in the (northern) autumn and hope to go back to France next year for the Bayeux medieval festival. Your prizes are so overwhelmingly generous and I see the potential all over it.

Hello from Maple Valley, WA! *Ü*
This is my first year (and last! waaah!) participating in OWOH and I am having so much fun being inspired by blogs like yours. I've been fortunate to have visited Paris a few years ago and I would love to enter your awesome Parisian themed giveaway!

If you have time, I would love if you would stop by mine too? I'm #347 on the list and I'm giving away one of my handmade sterling-cored European glass charm beads.
