My "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Giveaway!

-
As you know, I am a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn and the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" has been a favorite since I was a teenager. After I received my Audrey, I became inspired and I decided to have a blog giveaway celebrating this charming film!



Here are the details of my giveaway: The winner will receive a new copy of the video of the film, "Breakfast at Tiffany's." They'll also receive this vintage print of a Central Park, New York landscape, from roughly the same period as the film (artist unknown.) And, as a tribute to George Peppard, I'm including this vintage, new handkerchief which is a checker pattern in a pale spring palette. Finally, the winner will receive this small bejeweled heart decoration, hand made and beaded by me, in the robin's egg blue that Tiffany & Co. made famous.

This giveaway is open to anyone who has a blog of their own! Here's what you'll need to do to win my "Breakfast at Tiffany's" package:
  • Follow this blog by either clicking on "Follow Me" and completing the process, or by subscribing to this blog's RSS feed. (You can find the links for both of these in the sidebar/column on the right.) Then, post a comment here telling me you've done so. This gets you one entry in my giveaway. Already a follower? Post a comment and remind me that you are -- this counts, too!
  • Blog about this giveaway on your own blog in which you include a link to this post. Then post that link in another comment on this post. This gets you one entry in my giveaway!
You may enter either way for one entry; for two chances to win, do both!

Please leave your comments for your entries on this post only no later than 11:59 Mountain Time (GMT -7) on Friday, March 27, 2009. On March 28, 2009, I will use the random number generator (or other random method) to choose the winner!

I hope you'll enjoy celebrating "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with me! Over the coming week I'll be posting more photos, facts, and trivia about the film I love so much.

I just became a follower. I have to tell you that every week my dad took me to NY, as he had business there. I must have ssen Breakfast at Tiffany's a million times, and I landed up going to Tiffany's once to see what I could get there...I could only afford a bookmark, so I got it. I wanted to do what Audrey Hepburn did in the film.
Well, I hope that I win this. I am living in Ireland now, and it will be a long while till I see NY again!

Funny thing, or sad: I've never watched this movie. I can hardly believe it myself, being raised by my grandparents who spent their Saturday afternoon in from of the box with a pan of popcorn, watching classic movies like these. People think it strange that I have a rich knowledge of many classic films, but that's what happens when you're raised by an older, more seasoned generation--you get the best.

Totally following you now.

Baby Jesus Candy Cane Christmas Ornament How-To

Here's a tutorial to make sweet baby Jesus ornaments: Materials: 3/4" round wooden balls blue felt like-sized small wooden stars flesh-colored acrylic paint yellow acrylic paint black permanent marker small button as star decor raffia natural excelsior "moss" silver thread or coordinating yarn candy cane You'll also need glue or a hot glue gun, paint brush and scissors Begin by painting the wooden balls with flesh-colored paint and the stars with yellow paint. When dry, draw two sleeping eyes on the ball. Meanwhile, cut small pieces of felt and make little rolls to represent the baby's body; tie with a tiny piece of raffia. Next, glue the wooden ball onto the top of the body roll of felt; if you wish, you can also cut a small wedge of felt to glue over like a little swaddled hood on the baby's head, but I think it looks cute without it as well.

Flagler College in St. Augustine: the Tiffany connection

We visited this wonderful building that began its life in 1888 as a lavish hotel built by Henry Flagler, one of the founders of Standard Oil, and now houses Flagler College . It is such a beautiful old building and in it we saw: these fabulous Tiffany chandeliers... on a spectacular painted and embossed ceiling in one of the hotel's drawing rooms.   I apologize for the quality of the indoor photos -- it was quite dark in the building. I had to laugh at these painted cherubs on the ceiling... and the way their ribbony robes encircle the chandelier mount! This large clock over the mantle is special because it's a Thomas Edison clock and because it is made from one piece of rare onyx.  We were told that Edison's "signature" on his clocks is the use of the incorrect Roman numeral "4". But the most spectacular feature of the building is that Louis Comfort Tiffany himself made the stained glass windows. Most of Tiffany's windows a

O Christmas tree, jeweled Christmas tree...

Earlier in the season Rebecca and I went to a craft fair at a local high school, and there was one booth with the CUTEST little jeweled, framed Christmas trees! The gal was nice enough to let me photograph them.  Sorry it's kind of blurry, but it was dark in that high school gym! I know it's an older kind of craft (from the '60s and '70s) but she made them sweet -- not gaudy at all.  We were both SO inspired. So, last week we made it happen.  I brought a bunch of my old, broken vintage jewelry, some velvet, glue,  old frames, and we sat in her dining room and made a forest of little trees! It was so simple: first, we took a vintage frame and covered the backing with velvet.  We just glued it on. Then, we took our time arranging bits and pieces of jewels into a Christmas tree shape. When we were happy with the arrangement, we committed and glued the jewels down!  I love this avocado green velvet! And then we did it again.  We had so much fun playing
