small business saturday and a giveaway!!

Happy belated Thanksgiving and beginning of the holiday season!  I don't know if anyone got out there on Saturday and shopped at any local businesses, but happy Small Business Saturday!! 
To celebrate, I'm featuring a small business close to my heart, my sister, Erin's, homemade wreaths!  She used to sell them out of a small shop in our hometown, 
but now only does custom orders as they come in.  


 The wreaths are primarily yarn-wrapped, so they offer more of a cold, wintery look to them.  So, because of that, the holiday season, and because Small Business Saturday just passed, I would like to offer one of these wreaths at no cost to one of you (including shipping)! 

Here are a few samples:


 





**The winner will get a choice between the beige striped wreath
 and the blue wreath with maroon flowers**

To enter, just leave a comment below about the most creative way you reused something or the most "gumptious" item in your home.

The winner will be picked next Monday, December 9!

Aaaand as a bonus, if you are interested in having one custom made to match your colors or as a gift for someone this holiday season, let me know, and I'll connect you with Erin.
They are $25 and shipping is FREE to all gumptious readers!

**happy December and thanks for stopping by**
**good luck**

  2. Hey Dana!! So, first of all, your blog is awesome and I just LOVE your sister's wreaths! ;) Haha, but anyway... my creative re-use of something was probably about a year ago when I made a wall hanging out of the cardboard from lots of toilet paper rolls (thank you, Pinterest, for the idea!)!! It's a kind-of dahlia looking flower and appears cast-iron now that it's spray painted black. And it's hanging up as a decoration for our main bathroom (how appropriate, eh?!?).

  3. Hi Dana! I'm thrilled to have come across your blog, I had no idea! My most creative use of something I reused was the 3 tier serving stand I made form decorative plates I had in my cabinet along with some candlestick holders. I got the idea from Pinterest and thought "Hey, I can do that!"
