Amoretti Purse

Thursday, 25 March 2010

OK . . . the moment has officially arrived! Random number generators have been consulted, and the results are in! The winner of an Easter dress is . . .

Jen!

And, I'm afraid that there are several Jens who entered, so just to keep confusion to a minimum, here is her comment:

Oh boy - what a purse! We have one in red swirls, but one daughter has outgrown it and one is a couple years away. It is the prettiest, best-fitting, most well-made dress we have ever had. I LOVE the cornflower.

So yahoo for Jen! Drop me an email at: info@amoretti-designs.com with your choice and we'll send it out right away!

Ok then . . . Easter is fast approaching, and obviously the crying need of the hour is for everyone to get their daughters' Easter dresses sorted out. I'm deep in it at the moment, designing patterns and choosing fabrics, and if everything goes according to plan, those will be the dresses you'll see next Spring here on Amoretti! (One hopes, anyway. We'll see how they turn out.) However, here are the dresses that I humbly suggest for your consideration for this year's Easter dresses. (I'm especially fond of the zig zag one - it's wicked cute on.) So in celebration of Easter Dress Season, I'm offering one of the dresses as this fortnight's giveaway. Get busy and leave your comment - and the lucky winner will get the dress of their choice!

However, just as a word of warning . . . these dresses have been quite popular and we're beginning to sell out of some color / size combos. So my personal (totally unbiased) recommendation for all of you is that you'd better hurry up and order - and if you're the lucky winner, well then you can get a second dress for free!

And of course, you wouldn't be properly dressed for Easter without a Skirty - so the winner will also receive a Skirty, in their choice of size! (Except for medium. We're spang out of mediums. There will be more - I promise! But for the moment you'll have to size up or down!)

So there you go! Get busy and comment . . . and don't forget to link! (Linking will get you your second entry.)

NOTE: Giveaway is now officially closed! But there will be a new one up soon so just hang tight . . .

What's all this then?

What is a "fortnightly purse" precisely?

Well you know what a fortnight is, I presume. If not then we'll have to back up and start from the beginning.

A fortnight is 2 weeks. And a purse . . . well it's a handbag of course. But, follow me closely here, that's not the sense in which we use the word here. In this particular instance, the word purse is used with its racing (gasp!) or gambling (worse and worse!) connotations. A prize in fact. A giveaway in other words. A chance to win every 2 weeks!

How to enter:

So how does one go about entering the drawing for the purse? Quite simple and straightforward really. Simply leave a comment in the comment section under the post. Easy-peasy. What sort of comment? Anything really. If you're bored with commenting then tell me about the weather. Recite a little poem. Give us your best cooking tip. But whatever you happen to say, it will enter your name in the drawing for this fortnight's purse.

But - there's a chance for a double entry! Link to this post and you'll get entered a second time! One tiny detail to bear in mind however. You have to tell me that you linked and give the address (link to your link as it were) or else I might not notice that you did so.

There you have it!
