I Married Adventure Giveaway!
About a year and a half ago, I found a copy of decorators favourite book, I Married Adventure, with its cream and brown zebra-skin cover, at the Book Thing. I truly embarrassed myself by jumping up and down and hooting and hollering. It wasn't pretty.
Today, I had all sorts of plans. My sister, Bird, and her family were coming into the city for the St. Patrick's Day parade, and my mother was going to join us after mass. But the weather today is pretty bleak, 40's and drizzly. So I did some errands instead and took a huge LLBean bag full of books and magazines back to Book Thing.
As I was browsing, I found a copy of I Married Adventure. This time, I was a little more subdued and just did a little internal cheer. Following that, I decided to give it away to one of you as a thank you for reading Pigtown*Design. Just post a comment here by Friday, March 20, and Connor, the Wonder Dog will pick a winner. If you don't have a blog, please leave a name (you don't need to leave an e-mail address) somewhere so if Connor picks you, I will be able to identify you by something other than Anon@11:13!
A comment. ;)
ReplyDelete(ok, ok! not so funny... I'm a little off today)

ReplyDelete(is it any funnier now ?)
No comment on the comments. (ha-ha)
ReplyDeleteI married Adventure too, more years ago than I like to remember. He carried me over the threshold, led me up the garden path, took me on wild adventures, yes,
ReplyDeleteand his shoes are still under my bed, hallelujah.
Hey, Connor, I have organic puppy treats over here...
ReplyDeleteWow. A wonderful giveaway!! Tell Connor not to pick me,though, I was a good girl and received a copy for Christmas. And, I must admit to a wee bit of whooping and hollering when I opened the box!
ReplyDeleteConnor- pick me!!! Thanks for having such a wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThat book would look awfully nice on my bookshelves - and I was planning on going to the Book Thing today but got called in to work instead....oh well. If it's meant to be it's meant to be...so pick me...it's meant to be...maybe...I hope...possibly...yes...pick me! Please. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific giveaway. I hope some St Patrick's Day luck rubs off on me.

ReplyDeleteWow great give away. I've had this book on my wish list for awhile. It would look great in my living room!
ReplyDeleteSo woof woof Conner and pick me!
Hi, I'm a newcomer to your blog and a "post virgin". Thanks to all the hoopla in blogland about this book, I've been dying to read it, and to see how it compares to my "solo adventures". I suspect it will inspire me to "step it up" a notch :). Very nice of you to do this giveaway!

Donna... it's not so much the text of the book as the look of the book!
ReplyDeleteHi Conner, my name is Kermit, and I am cat to Rita. Rather, she is my human. I think unrestrained glee at finding a good book ought to be encouraged, don't you?
ReplyDeleteYay, Meg!! Connor, I have chicken for you... (are bribes okay? :-)

ReplyDeletei wondered what you were up to when you said you stole a picture from my blog- i'm happy it went to serve a good cause! (and not even remotely displeased that said cause involves the book thing, of which you know i am insanely jealous).
ReplyDeletebut- i am disqualified from the drawing 'cuz you used my pic? i don't want it to look like a set up when connor picks me- because i want that book!
oh and connor, mona says if you pick her daddy, she'll share her treats...
Pick me I'm Irish..... good luck to us all.......
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find.
ReplyDeletePick me!
ReplyDelete((Don't you think someone should put together a "where's waldo"-type post to show all the times this book has appeared in decor photos? Or has someone done that already and I missed it?))
My comment is: check out the wonderful used book sale at the Stone Ridge School in Bethesda, MD April 3-6. I think you would love it!
