Monday Book Giveaway (November 23, 2009)

First, today’s winner: Carol M.! Of all the books I’ve mentioned, she chose The House on Tradd Street by Karen White. Congrats, Carol! If you’ll send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, I’ll get your book in the mail.

Now for next week, as promised: your choice, two winners! Comment below with the name of any book you want* and come back next week to see if you’ve won. These are my favorite weeks because we all hear about great new books. So start commenting! And remember, I’ll choose two winners.

Contest open to anyone on the planet who has access to reliable mail service.

Now, the hat (Fascinator #2):

Traditionally, fascinators are whimsical, frou-frou pieces made of feathers and lace, so I’m not sure this would technically be called a fascinator. It’s made of resin or acrylic and looks almost like metal.

I do like it though. I like how the thin headband mostly disappears into my hair, putting the visual emphasis on the ornament itself. And I love that the designer chose such strong colors and lines to make a rose (traditionally soft, delicate, and feminine).

Kinda like how the gold and black looks a little startling against my silver and black hair.

*Any book readily available for $25 or less; I’ll cover the shipping.
