I know it's not about popularity etc. but it does make me smile whenever i see a new face pop up on the right there and i want to know who she is... what's her story?
my husband suggested a giveaway for 500 and i might have fallen in love with him even more for thinking about my little dolce vita.
so here it is... nothing big but i wanted it to be personal. I thought, if i was going to put a box together to describe me in some way, what would it include?
one dolce vita reader will win a box of my favorite things:
you might win: UO blank polaroid card to send happy mail, Mod coffee cup (something i collect), Milano cookies which are perfect for coffee or a monday morning, F21 bow earrings, "for you" mixed tape of my favorites, Rose magnet to hang up love notes, Falsies Volume Express mascara because flirting with your eyes is seriously underplayed these days, and The Time Traveler's Wife, my all time favorite book.
All this in the above Tote bag which i use for books, post office trips, and light groceries.
Mandatory: be a lovie (follower) because this giveaway is a thank-you
*comment that you're a follower & tell me one of your favorite things?
*for an extra entry, grab my giveaway button/blog/or tweet about it and leave me the link please
winner will be chosen at random by husband a week + a day on Feb. 15th so please do enter lovies!
and again, THANK-YOU to all you lovies who make me smile with your comments. It's good to be your friend! xo

Hi there! I'm a follower and also read the entries on a feed reader. It's a bit difficult to choose a favourite thing but a few days ago I bought a really nice toy-postbox. I went to the post office to send some letters and I saw it there. It's like the official ones here and I have it on my desk. Lovely.
newest follower!!
What a wonderful giveaway idea - I will definitely do something like this when I hit a big victory like 500 followers!!
Time Traveler's Wife is the BEST book in the ENTIRE world!!
Yay, Amy entered (she just commented on my blog post about your lovely giveaway)! I am not entering because I have received more than enough delightful treats from you, but I am definitely going to encourage everyone else to enter!
I love your collection of sweet favorite things. I wrote about what mine would include on my blog post today, but some of them were: a Pilot pen, big dangly earrings, strong coffee, a book of poems, and gold glitter topcoat nail polish. :)
I'm a follower and I love everything you picked!
My favorite thing right now is avocado chocolate pudding!
I'm a follower! And one of my favorite things is Palmer's Cocoa Butter - my winter dry skin is addicted to it.
Because yes I adore all those things in your giveway is why I have to enter, at least. Though it is a good question, there is far to much that is a "favorite" or as I call it lovee of mine. The one I am obsessed with is bows. Lately I have wanted any and all things bow like. One of the reasons my eyes stopped at your giveaway. However if I can't win I hope the girl with the birthday on Feb 16 wins. Thanks!

Love you friend and of course I follow you...
Some of my favorite things...the animals that are hanging on my wall. I know I know you are a vegetarian and probably won't like that answer..BUT most of them have stories. The turkey fan by the front door my daddy shot and made for my grandparents...the mule deer head by the couch my Pappy shot in 1980 (the bullet hangs below it)...the leopard rug in the dining room was shot about 70 years ago by hubby's great uncle in Venezuela on the oil lease he lived on...it was in his back yard.

So one of my favourite things (at the moment) is Arnotts Chocolate mint slice biscuits. Jason and I are obsessed with them and have them for dessert nearly every night (In fact he went to the local store to buy a packet and it was more expensive then he realised but then he saw 2 for $5 well he couldn't pass that up lol)
You're a beautiful friend!

I found your blog by way of Bianca and Goodnight Little Spoon--about the time you posted your wedding photos (I loved your dress by the way--it's what I always imagined I'd wear if I ever got married). I didn't have internet access for a while though so I was only just able to show you that I'm following--better late than never :)
One of my favorite things is that no matter how many sunsets I've seen or how many times I've looked up at the stars on a clear night, it takes my breath away each and every time. Love that feeling :)
