First Giveaway on My Blog :): via Indyakaleidoscope

Hey Guys, Announcing The First ever Personal Giveaway on The Design Enthusiast....


Home tours, sneak peeks and Design and Decor ideas on various blogs, flickr etc are a major source of inspiration for me. I have always wanted to ask people about their decor sources, what, where and how they shop for such amazing things in their homes?  Wouldnt it be great if these talented bloggers and photographers manage to source amazing decor items and open up their own online stores for you! Amazing isn't it :-).

IndyaKaleidoscope: Blog, Store
Let me introduce you Preethi Prabhu's store on Indyakaleidoscope. If you are a regular on the decor blog circuit, you would be familiar with her super cool blog, and must have visited her wonderful store already. If not, I highly recommend that you do and see her exclusive picks - handcrafted and handmade by Artist across India, for your home. 

And now, the Giveaway: The First ever on The Design Enthusiast
Preethi celebrated the second anniversary of her blog - Indyakaleidoscope and has decided to organize a Giveaway via The Design Enthusiast. (sweet)

Here is what you could win





Isn't he the cutest!!! Who wouldnt want to have him at home :-)

All you need to do
  • Leave me comment here on the Design Enthusiast to participate in the Giveaway
  • Visit her store and the blog via here ; Indyakaleidoscope and tell me here on the Design Enthusiast: what draws you to her blog and her store. 
  • Everyone is allowed a maximum of two comments on this post (here). (you can leave as many comments as you like on her blog though)
  • And one very important thing, this Giveaway is open to readers in India and to all those who can provide an Indian Shipping address (sorry about that guys)
  • The Contest is open until 16th Sept 2011. A winner will be announced on 17th Sept 2011..Do participate and inform your friends about the giveaway!!

    I have always liked Preethi's blog for her amazing design sense and her India inspired decor posts. For me the carved elephants and the eco friendly utility items are a big draw. All the best to you Preethi. And congrats on your first giveaway Sudha.

    I have come across the Indyakaleidoscope often, but never visited her online store till today. The products and prices are super cool. Happy to know the blog has completed two years... Wishing Indyakaleidoscope many more successful years in the blog world.

    What a lovely idea~ Preethi's blog has always been a fav of mine - I like her originality and I have more than once admired the way her blog is organized - great design! And...her store was a surprise - I had no inkling - my bad! I have been so caught up with the baby and my new role at work, that I sometimes barely just manage to log in, do a post and log out of blogworld again!

    Preeti, great stuff and Sudha - lucky you for being chosen to co-host this giveaway!Congrats guys!
