Over 150 followers - that calls for some celebrating. Let's give some stuff away!!!

Wow, this blog is well over 150 followers, and I've been posting about once a week or more for more than 2 years.

Thanks to all of you!  Doing this blog has been a blast for me, your comments are very motivating, and I hope that some of what I've shared has either helped you or inspired you in some small way.

I had a lot of fun with my last giveaway to celebrate hitting 50 followers more than a year ago, so let's do it again!  This contest will run through February 3, 2012.

Just leave a comment here and you will have one entry and a chance to win one of two prizes.

And since the Uncle has dipped a couple of toes into social media, I'm going to sweeten your chances in the contest.  For each of the following you will get an additional contest entry:
  • If you are a friend of UncleAtom on Facebook, that gets you a contest entry;
  • Follow @Uncle_Atom on Twitter and that gets you a contest entry;
  • Oh, and if you promote this contest on your blog, that will also get you an entry, just send me a link to your blog's post.  I'm gonna have a heckuva time keeping track of these entries so I need to hear from you!
So anyone and everyone who comments on this post can have as many as four chances to win.

Whew, I am gonna be busy trying to sort out how many entries you all get in this contest.  But that's OK, I like a challenge.

So, what can you win?

Well, I've been pondering that for a while...

I am a lamp-aholic, so of course I have a lamp to offer up - how about this little bedside number for our top prize?  It stands 16 inches from the base to the top of the shade.




The brass is worn a bit, but it's got a killer beige lampshade that will work in any color scheme, and it's been rewired, so it's plug and play.

I also have too many vintage magazine racks, so how about this magazine rack from my etsy store for our second prize?


I also will have a surprise or two that I'll announce at the end of the giveaway.  Good luck everyone!!

  3. Oh boy - I wasn't thinking about the international implications of this giveaway! Here's what I'll do - I'll cover the first $20 of shipping and if it's more than that we'll figure something 'oat' ;-)
