Monday Book Giveaway (June 30, 2008)

Congratulations to today’s winners: Margay and StampedwithGrace! They each win a copy of Michelle Richmond’s brand new book, No One You Know (which I reviewed here). You’re gonna love this one! Please send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, and I’ll get your books on their way to you.

For next week, once again you can win any book I’ve mentioned. It can be a book I’ve already given away, one I’ve referred to on the blog, something I’ve reviewed here or here, or any book on either of my giveaway shelves.

Just leave a comment, telling me which book you want, before noon Sunday (Pacific Time). I’ll choose a winner from one of my hats. Contest is open to anyone, anywhere, as long as mail service can reach you.

Here’s the hat from which Tenor Sensation chose the winners today. I think it’s the last of the vintage hats I bought on ebay.

Funny thing about this hat: I’d never seen it before last week! If you look carefully at last week’s hat, you can see the netting is turquoise though the hat itself is baby blue and white. I’ve never worn it because I thought the netting clashed, plus it was stiff and stuck out in a funny way.

Still, I like the hat other than that, so I photographed it and posted it. As I was putting it away, though, I noticed something weird. Turned out, today’s hat was wedged inside! And this hat is adorable, and a color I wear all the time. In fact, I would have posted a pic of me wearing this one if I hadn’t been alone when I photographed it (I’m not very good at the hold-your-camera-at-arm’s-length thing).

This one also might be homemade as there is no label. It’s made of multiple layers of turquoise tulle wrapped around a stiff frame. The netting, with a lace medallion and beads stitched onto it, is just laid over the top and tacked down.
