I received such positive feedback from my post about my spa inspired bathroom and a lot of it had to do with the box that Mr. H made for me to keep my lavender in. If you missed that post, you can read it here.
Well, the wonderful comments you left inspired me to create more herb boxes out of wine crates (with a little help from Mr. H)! I don't know if you have tried to find wine crates, but it's not an easy feat. After scouring all of Denver and surrounding areas, I finally found enough to make a few boxes and have opened up an Etsy shop to sell them! I am so excited about this because I've never sold anything on the internet before, not on eBay, not on Craigslist, so this adventure will be really fun for me (I hope).
To celebrate the opening of my Etsy shop I am hosting my first giveaway! If you'd like a chance to have one of the boxes as your very own all you have to do is follow me on the Google Friend Connect (GFC) button on my side bar and leave a comment letting me know what you plan to put in the box. I think they're perfect for herbs like lavender, sage, or eucalyptus but I know how creative all of you are so let me know what you'd put in it! Feel free to leave a comment even if you don't want to enter the giveaway!
The giveaway ends Friday, October 4, 2013 at 7:00pm Mountain Time. I'll announce the winner on October 5, 2013. The box you see above will be the one I'll send to the winner (lavender not included.)
My Etsy shop is called Sweet Inspired Market. You can visit my shop here and on my side bar. Because of how hard wine crates are to find, there are only 5 boxes listed for sale right now but I will add more as I am able.
**UPDATE**-Posted on October 4 at 7:01pm Mountain time: The giveaway is closed now. Thanks to all of you who entered! I will announce the winner on October 5th. Good luck to everyone! -Khammany ♥
I love that idea!!! I already follow on Google connect. Keep us posted on your etsy shop as the Holidays approach this would be a charming hostess gift too!

I'd fill my new box with dried hydrangeas, or whatever dried flowers I could find. This is really wonderful Khammany!
ReplyDeleteI love these boxes, Khammany, and they'd be great to fill with dried flowers. Knowing me, I could see it traveling around my home to use in many different ways depending how the mood strikes. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!

That's so pretty. I like the way you decorated yours.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Congrats on your Etsy store!! I'm a follower and if I won I think I'd definitely use it for herbs. It just looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteA follower of yours through both google connect and bloglovin. I love this giveaway. I think I would put my mail in it on the counter for now atleast. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI think every one is right! The use for your lovely wooden boxes is endless. But I do have to say I am partial to using one for dried hydrangeas in my master bath. Pretty and soothing to look at..... Candy
ReplyDeleteI'm soooooo glad I didn't miss this drawing! What would I put inside? Probably my stationary on my desk :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!

Congrats on opening your Etsy shop. Your husband has crafted some wonderful boxes (with your assistance I am sure!). I know how that works (at least at my house). Can't wait to check out your Etsy shop !
ReplyDeleteI already follow you on GFC and certainly don't expect you to ship an herb box to Canada, but I did want to tell you I'm excited for your new adventure!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope I'm in time! I would put my extra soaps in it with lavender on top! This would be perfect for my new bathroom! Sweet hugs and THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add that I'm a follower and a friend! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteOH, these wine crates are nice! I see I have missed quite a lot while I have been away!!!! Congrats on your ETSY shop as well!
