BOX OF WIN - GIVEYAY!

I love a giveaway.  It's just me and my good-customer-service-but-terrible-business-acumen way of running Georgie Love.  LOVE looking after people and making them happy, surprises, extras all happy-happy goodness.  I haven't done one in AGES.  I have spent a lot of time in 2011 and earlier this year looking after my family and a new baby, which is super important of course, but it also meant that I put Georgie Love on the backburner and now I need to spend some time and energy building it back up.

Last year I acquired about 45 amazing handmade vintage dresses for Georgie Love (story to follow) which have been sitting here with me since October last year and it is my MISSION over the next few weeks to start putting them online.  It's going to be tricky since I DON'T have any kind of model to show them off at their best, so I need to figure how to shoot them flat on a board and at their best.  I am working on it.

Anyway, it's a New Year, it's VALENTINE'S DAY and I am getting a bit of time back to myself as a parent and small business owner so to celebrate, yep this IS OUR BIGGEST GIVEAWAY EVER.

See!  Look at all that goodness smooshed up in that one photo.  Can I explain what the WINNER will get.

PIP LINCOLNE!  Australian craft icon and all-around-lovely dollface of a Melbourne lady has written a number of brilliant crafty inspiration how-to books and you can win TWO.  Both are gorgeous, brand new and ready to inspire you on YOUR OWN crafty journey.  Because I love that and believe in Pip and her super ace work in encouraging and inspiring others.

TO HELP YOU CREATE, a small selection of vintage fabrics and teatowels to help you make.  There might be more than this in your BOX OF WIN.

CUTE! This is an as-new vintage dutch apron is just SUPER CUTE and I have been holding on to it for far too long and I think it needs to find a super-happy new home.

SHOP, OH lookie here, it's just a $50 Georgie Love voucher to buy something nice for yourself.  

VINTAGE PICTURE BOOK BROOCHES because I MADE THESE MYSELF.

GEORGIE LOVE cute earrings, brooch and hair clips.

SHOES! VINTAGE! YELLOW! About a size 8 chosen specifically to go with:

DELIGHTFUL VINTAGE DRESS.  GOOD LORD do I wish that I managed to find someone to model this, as my photos of it are JUST SHIT.  This is one of my faves from the batch of dresses I have and one of the few store bought vintage dresses in my collection.  It has however been completely refashioned by the dressmaker previous owner.  This dress is a vintage size 12, but is actually quite generous, it can be belted for a smaller lady for a glorious swishy-swishy look to it, or belted for a fuller figure (to a 14 or maybe even 16?)  It is a dress and size that could fit and suit a lot of different sizes and shapes, so that is why I included this particular one.

 

It's adorable, take my word for it.  The original light polyblend was white and navy striped shift with tiny navy spots, but the previous (dressmaker) owner added (VIA HANDSTITCHING MIND YOU) navy polkadot sleeves, neckline and button sleeve feature, and can I just point out ALL THE PERFECT PLEATS WHICH ARE COMPLETELY HANDSTICHED.  It was a dull dress that had a magnificent make over.  I am disappointed my pics are so shitty, as it is AWESOME.  So find a cute belt, put on the yellow heels and note that Georgie Love now has your cutest spring outfit SORTED.

Clearly though, I need to sort out my dress photography OR a model before I get cracking on these dresses.
