Winner #1 Announced

Laura G. is the first give-away winner. Congratulations!

Laura lives in Chicago with her husband, almost 7 year-old daughter, and 1-1/2 year-old son. She works behind the scenes in network television and loves everything about the Windy City. Almost everything...

The child's porridge set is on its way to Laura and should arrive by the weekend.

At Laura's suggestion, the red picnic tin will be give away #2 and you can comment to win beginning on Friday.

Red tin picnic box with wooden handles.

(Jars to be offered at future date.)

See. No strings attached. No tricks or shenanigans. Just Marielle hoping to give away a bunch of stuff, one item at a time, to a good home.

Comment at Shop My Basement for your chance to win.

Preview of First Give-Away

According to the rules, you won't usually see the current give-away until Friday morning but I thought I'd give a tease. Eligibility to win doesn't begin until Friday, 2/17 so, look but do not leap...

This child porridge set is made in Sweden and I purchased it from a friend's collection in the mid-1980's so I don't know the provenance.
