Bonzai + Novica New Years Giveaway

December 30th, 2009 - filed under: Furthermore

I’m so happy to announce our first giveaway, just in time to kick off a new decade! When Novica approached me about sponsoring the site, I thought, ‘what better way than to pass on the goodies to you guys’!? So here it is, in the form of three free handbags to three lucky readers!

Novica is an online international marketplace of sorts, and functions in association with National Geographic to allow artisans from around the globe to hock their wares worldwide. You can read more about their mission, here.

Each of the bags pictured in this post will be given away on New Years day! All you have to do to enter the drawing is to leave a comment on this post. Feel free to request the color you’d prefer, though I can’t guarantee that you’ll get that one if you win. And why not poke around Novica’s site to check out their awesome unique handbags, slings, and totes.

You guys are awesome! Happy New Year!!!

How much fun is this?!? Love it!

Brown is my fav…then the blue…then the pink striped one. They’re all great though.

Aww, these are all really gorgeous. I second Stella’s comment! And I looked at their website and ohmygod the earrings are amazing. So pretty!
P.S. I made about nine candles today, and I’ll blog about them in a few days (with credit and links of course!) as soon as I find my camera cord. They’re so cute! Three cheers for soy wax and cheap teacups from Goodwill. :)

Like brown the most and then blue.

You’re so fun! And I’m so glad your back and blogging. That short break was dry and empty without your posts!!!

You’ve inspired me to make my own candles, cos I’m completely candle crazy and figured it’d be cheaper and way more fun. Might have to refer to you for advice if I stuff up!!!

The bags are gorgeous, I love the pink one. I’m going to have to frolic over to their site now aren’t I!

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I’d love to see a post on Vegan christmas food if you were planning on it!!

Happy new years xxx

I’m not secure enough in my gender identity to make use of these, but my special lady-friend Callie is! I like the brown best, but she might prefer the blue…
Congrats on getting your first sponsor- seems like a good match!

Just started reading your blog and must say I think I’m a little in love. Trying out the hair gel this weekend with my BROWN hair ;)

Thanks for sharing; I like the blue the best – it reminds me of a ping-pong tree sponge, which is the most beautiful underwater creature I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the info on Novica, too; I’ll be sure to check it out.

Oh, and all of those bags are cute! The blue one is my favourite though ^_^

Happy New Year! I am still thinking about ‘family cloth’ but not quite ready to take the jump. I did spot a few holes in one of my husband’s old undershirts the other day…I have stashed it for that moment when I’m brave enough!

These bags are awesome. I love the blue one, but I love anything blue.

Glad you’re doing better – and here’s hoping for a great new year for you three!!
Rachel

I like all of them!
(And your necklaces are cool.)
