Last weekend I received these two beautiful Christmas images from Jill, a reader in Illinois which made me start to think how nice it would be to see more of people's images of Christmas in their home and or town/city. Then I came up with the idea for an "Absolutely Beautiful" Christmas Competition as below;
The Absolutely Beautiful Christmas Competition
To enter, please email me anna@blackandspiro.com.au some pictures of Christmas in your home or home town/city with a brief description of what Christmas means to you. Depending on how many submissions I receive I will post each one in a once a week posting which will contain all of the submissions I have received that week. I will be asking readers to vote each week on which one they like best and then 4 days before Christmas I will post the finalists and then ask readers to again vote on the one which they feel should win the competition. I will announce the winner on Christmas Eve.
The winner will receive one of my custom made one off Black & Spiro Couture cushions. I will email the winner some of the cushions currently available and they will be able to select which one they want. The cushion will be posted out to the winner.
I can't wait to see what happens at Christmas in your town/home. Please don't be shy about sending in your submissions - I think we will all love seeing what other people around the world get up to at this beautiful time of year!!

Sweet idea! I just sent a picture :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's images.
ReplyDeleteOh how glamorous. Jill's home would be lovely any day of the year, but I really love her judicious use of holiday lighting and decor. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect blend of spirit and restraint. Very chic (and I'm loving her arched windows and doorways!)
Hi - This is my first blog experience, I'm not sure this will end up in the right place. I love your brass chair. I have a very similar chair in black wood, that is as light as a feather. I've been looking for a match to it, I'm glad to see they're out there -I'll keep searching. Great Blog.
