Weekend Giveaway {Midwest Magnolia}

Today I get to give away something I adore!

My friend Melissa from the blog Midwest Magnolia and new Etsy shop, designed and created this very special pillow cover for me and I LOVE it.

Weekend Giveaway {Midwest Magnolia}

I am also the owner of one of Melissa’s laptop bags, made with the same adorable fabric. In fact, it was because of my laptop bag that I ended up with this pillow cover.

I loved my laptop bag so much when I saw it sitting on my sofa that I almost tried to stuff a pillow in it.

Fortunately, Melissa saved me from myself and made me a real honest pillow cover.

Pretty cute, huh?

And if you are the lucky winner of today’s giveaway, she’s going to make a pillow cover for you too! I don’t even have to give my own pillow away, she’ll make one just for you.

Visit Melissa’s blog Midwest Magnolia and her new Etsy shop!

And then leave a comment here to enter the giveaway! One entry per person today! Pure and simple.

If you want to shop, Melissa is also offering a discount coupon code for her Etsy store for 20% off a purchase of $50 or more for my readers.  Just enter “InspiredRoom” in the coupon code at her shop.  This is good through the 15th of September.

PS. I featured Melissa’s son’s nursery awhile back on Room Tours, check it out! So cute!

Good luck and Happy Labor Day Weekend!

 

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

    I have been lusting after that mustard fabric with the berries for months! I found it at Joanns and almost bought tons of it, but couldn’t quite justify the use of it in my home at the mome. And as a poor college student, it’s only the essentials for me right now. I LOVE both the pillow and laptop cover in this fabric. I hope I win!
