In the mood for a giveaway

Oh yes, it's giveaway time again! This time, one of my favourite movies of all time: Wong Kar Wai's In the mood for love. Specifically, the 2-disc Criterion collection dvd edition.

How can you win it? Simply, leave a comment on this post and a way for me to contact you if you're the winner. For my fellow Europeans, keep in mind that it's a Region 1 dvd, make sure your player/computer can play them.

Giveaway ends Thursday, June 30 and the winner will be picked at random. So, comment away and spread the word!

Tote Giveaway!

It's atonement time. I've been absent for so long and I feel kinda bad about it, no time or mood to blog I guess. In the meantime though, I reached 100 readers so I want to celebrate a little with a giveaway! A large, brand new tote bag is up for grabs.

Roomy and practical, it has a zippered pocket on the back, one inside plus a handy compartment for your cellphone. The giveaway is open worldwide and all you have to do is leave a comment here until October 24.

Thank you and comment away!

xoxo

Book Giveaway

This is my 100th post and I thought we'd celebrate with a giveaway. Cool, yes? The prize is a book this time, Atonement by Ian McEwan. Here's the summary from Amazon in case you're not familiar with it:

The novel opens on a sweltering summer day in 1935 at the Tallis family’s mansion in the Surrey countryside. Thirteen-year-old Briony has written a play in honor of the visit of her adored older brother Leon; other guests include her three young cousins -- refugees from their parent’s marital breakup -- Leon’s friend Paul Marshall, and Robbie Turner, the son of the family charlady whose brilliantly successful college career has been funded by Mr. Tallis. Their elder daughter Cecilia is also present; she has just graduated from Cambridge and is at home for the summer, restless and yearning for her life to really begin. In the midst of the long hot afternoon, Briony happens to be watching from a window when Cecilia strips off her clothes and plunges into the fountain on the lawn as Robbie looks on. Later that evening, Briony thinks she sees Robbie attacking Cecilia in the library, she reads a note meant for Cecilia, her cousin Lola is sexually assaulted, and she makes an accusation that she will repent for the rest of her life.

Santa's here!

Hands up mister! In a previous post, I told you to look out for Santa. Well, he's here now! A little late perhaps, but he's here nonetheless. And he's come bearing gifts. Two, to be exact. Yes, yes, it's giveaway time!

First, the rules: Well, it's the festive season, a season of joy and twinkling lights, of companionship and stuffed turkey, of love and copious amounts of booze so there are no rules! Just leave a comment here by next Sunday and you'll be entered!

The prizes? There are two prizes, made by moi, for two winners. The first one, will get the necklace pictured below. A purple, vintage plastic bead hanging from a 18'' antique brass-coloured ballchain.

The second winner will get this ring, made with an old greek coin, no longer in circulation, on an antique bronze adjustable ring base.

I hope you like them! Finally, as this is my last post for 2009, I would like to sincerely wish you a spectacular 2010, filled with all the people and things you love and to thank you for all your comments and thoughts and feelings and words and pictures you shared with me in 2009. They all made my days brighter.

Thank you for the lovely feature Marylou!

Acropolis museum + giveaway!

The Acropolis Museum opened its gates a few months ago, and I finally visited it a nice sunny day. The building is sleek and modern, with lots of natural light. I couldn't take any photos of the ancient artifacts and statues, but I can honestly say that there are some pretty amazing and awe-inspiring things inside. Instead, I took photos of the view from the terrace.

After visiting the gift shop (more on that later!), we took a walk around Plaka, the area around the Acropolis. It was quite early so it wasn't crowded, which made for a nice change!

I guess it's true what they say, the best things in life are free!


Gladiator heaven!

Colourful summer dresses and scarves in the shops.

Yummy ice-cream! Love the blue one!

And now, it's time for our giveaway! To enter all you have to do is leave a comment on this post until August 20. The winner will be randomly selected and will receive a pencil, a bookmark and a postcard from the Acropolis museum pictured below.

The winner will be announced here, August 21. Good luck!

The winners take it all

Hello guys, long time no "see"! I'm back from London, had a fab time, but now I'm back (sob) and it's time to announce the winners of the giveaway! The winners were drawn the old-fashioned way as you can see, and without further ado, the first winner who gets the 3 pairs of earrings is.... *drumroll*

Aaaand the second winner who gets the ring is.... *drumroll*

All you have to do is leave a comment here telling me your favourite movie quote. It doesn't have to be a classic, just your personal favourite one. I'd love some inspiration for my film/picture posts, so really you'd be helping me!
