Not only do we have a super cool vintage shop being featured, the shop happens to be owned by the incredibly friendly and lovely blogger, Marsi.
This giveaway is pretty stinking amazing. The Cottage Cheese is giving the winner a CHOICE between two very different prizes.
First, we have a vintage, adjustable, peacock candelabra in a gorgeous walnut finish. You can arrange this beauty however you'd like (how amazing would this be on a dining table for the holidays???) and it even folds flat for easy storage. Details, including measurements, can be found here.
Danish Modern Bird Candelabra $35
OR...
an Argus A series camera from the 1940's! This particular one is a postwar Argus A2B and it's been tested and works wonderfully! All of the details, including lots of terms I know some you photographers will be familiar with, are located here.
Argus A2B Postwar Bakelite Camera $42
Not only is Marsi offering an amazing prize, but she's also offering a 10% discount for the duration of the giveaway to any item in the shop. Simply put "downandoutchic" in the notes to seller and she'll refund you via Paypal. Perhaps you could use some vintage knitting needles, some stinking cute pyrex mixing bowls, or a Polaroid land camera? Take advantage of the discount and get some holiday shopping done early!
How to Enter (up to 3 entries!):
1. The Cottage Cheese has a plethora of awesome vintage goods. Visit the shop and tell me what you like! You should check out her blog too; I'm an avid reader for good reason.
2. Are you a follower/reader/member of Down and Out Chic? Great! You get to enter a second comment simply saying, "I'm a reader!" Make sure to enter a SEPARATE comment or it won't count.
3. Tweet, blog, or Facebook about this giveaway and send me the link!
