Oct 15th 2009 02:00 pm Happy 2nd Blog-i-versary {Hip Hostess Giveaway}

Cooking/Food/Entertaining Prize

Over the last two weeks we’ve been busy giving away things that I love. The first prize I gave away was Bespoke Stationery on Pretty Lovely Things’ blog. The second prize (awarded earlier today) was interior design related – a Plum Pretty Sugar bedding set to “freshen-up” your bedroom decor. Last, but certainly not least… I am doubly delighted to announce that The Hip Hostess has donated not one, but TWO prizes for an ABCD Design cooking/food/entertaining giveaway! Hooray~ how super-generous!

The Hip Hostess Giveaway

Enter to win The Hip Hostess apron and coordinating tea towels by:
Commenting on this post – and then pop by The Hip Hostess blog and comment there.

Tweeting about the giveaway with @thehiphostess and @abcddesigns.
FYI: You can shorten the number of characters you use @-ing both of us by using the hashtag #abcddesigns.

The Contest Ends:
Wednesday, October 21st at midnight. And then … sadly … ABCD Designs’ 2nd Blog-i-versary Celebration will be over. Perhaps we’ll have to consider holiday bakery prizes in November or December? I absolutely love giving prizes away!

Wishing all of you very good luck! The winner will be announced next Thursday morning.

    Fantastic giveaway. I have been a fan of the Hip Hostess aprons for quite a while now. I already commented on her awesome blog. As I mentioned on her blog, I would love to wear one of these aprons to the expos I take my designs (decals) too. I think having the pockets on the apron would be so beneficial (& cute).

  13. Chris on 16 Oct 2009 at 12:40 pm

    You have a beautiful site!

  14. Lauren @ten23designs on 16 Oct 2009 at 12:42 pm

    My clothes are horribly stained from all of my cooking without an apron. I need a cute one to motivate me to actually put it on! Congrats on the success of your blog.

    any of them! Please enter me in your more than generous contest.

    Not sure if I could use this more for when I bake or to shield the drool off my pants from my slobbery dog!

    Either way – I would be doing it in style.

    xx,
    Samantha

  49. Lauren Smith on 19 Oct 2009 at 9:47 am

    These are adorable! If I win, it will be hard to decide whether I give these as a hostess gift or I keep them for MYSELF!!

  50. Kristen Leigh on 19 Oct 2009 at 10:36 am

    The more I look at this, the more I love it! So pretty and definitely winning would require throwing a soiree in order to be a super hip hostess!!

  51. Jennifer on 19 Oct 2009 at 11:12 am

    Oh! These are so cute and I could really use an apron. The one I have now is an old, dirty one that was given to me at my old job. It has the company’s logo on it and it’s about as sexy as a marshmallow.

  52. Felissa on 19 Oct 2009 at 5:23 pm

    Fantastic design! would make any cooking experiece more enjoyable. I might actually want to cook and entertain again.

    These tea towels and aprons are too cute! And they would be perfect to use while making some of your delicious dishes, ABCD! (My personal favorites are your blueberry scones and pumpkin bread). Happy 2-year Blog-i-versary!

    I have always dreamed of baking in a chic apron!! So cute!

  82. Molly K on 21 Oct 2009 at 11:43 pm

    No way! This print is the same as the wall paper in our kitchen breakfast nook. It’s been up since we moved in, and I refuse to change the decor in the kitchen b/c it’s consistently a conversation piece. With an apron to match, how could I ever consider it? :)
