Novica GIVEAWAY



Novica has contacted me once again and asked if I'd like to give someone $50 to spend on their site.  Well, of course I would love to give someone a $50 gift certificate,  and hey,  it might as well be you!

In case you haven't heard of Novica, Novica is associated with National Geographic and provides artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their talents and spur creativity.  The site is full of hard to find, unique items that only the Internet infrastructure can allow access to.
  
Novica carries  all sorts of home decor and furnishings along with a great selection of clothing and accessories for men and women.
Kalyn and Ashton have had their eyes on the Silver Charm Bracelets like this one with little rosebuds.  
Although I love their jewelry,  I usually shop Novica for housewares because I love stuff for my house even more! 


  We used to have a hammock in our backyard near our koi pond where some of our best family  memories were made back there, with the kids swinging and lounging in a hammock that hung between two oak trees.
I no longer have the hammock, or the yard, but I still want a hammock somewhere and this is the one I want, from Brazil and sold Novica, of course.
Isn't the crochet fringe gorgeous?  I could leisurely spend some time here on this hammock or any of the over 100 they have on their site right now.



Though this is a magazine rack, I think I'd use it as a centerpiece filled with an arrangement of Fall flowers and foliage.   Novica has a great selection of these magazine racks and it was hard to choose my favorite. 


 I am thinking that this Forest Flower wood hanger would be perfect for displaying an antique lace table runner or a favorite linen of sorts.

There are so many choices!  What would you choose with $50 to spend at Novica?

For a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to Novica, please leave a comment letting me know what you'd choose.  

For two additional entries leave me a comment on this post if you are a blog follower and another comment here or on my FB page if you are a Facebook fan.  You can find me on Facebook as English Transferware.

The giveaway will run for one week.  The winner will be randomly generated via random.org based on the number of comments from both this blog post and my FB post.  Please leave your email address or make sure that I can contact you if you are the winner!

Good luck!

  100. Nancy, Novica like your shop is full of wonderful offerings. The bracelets are like polychrome transferware, detailed composition that are so delightful to the eye. Or I'd be thrilled to own one of their silk as it would be fun to wear and or to accessorize my transferware with it. What a treasure either would be! Thank you for sharing! D. Winter

  109. I adore Novica! So much that there are currently almost 400 items on my Novica Wish List! So far, I have mostly purchased jewelry and handbags - but I also have dozens of statues, sculptures and decorative items among my favorites that I would love to have (or be able to afford to buy.)

    Among my most favorite favorites are the wood statues by John Barrows of Peru - especially his CATS - like "Cat Mischief," "Cat Pose." and "Playtime Kitty" and/or the marvelous statuettes by Ning Charoensri (of Thailand) - especially her HANDS - right now her wood statuette "Invitation" tops my Novica Wish List!

    Thanks for this most generous and thoughtful giveaway!

English Cottage Living Room - Before, Partly After & Still a Work in Progress

I am sorry for not posting more pictures of the progress we've made settling into this new (to us) home.   It seems life rushes by so fast and that at times, doing little things, even those that I love and enjoy, often get pushed aside and onto the back shelf of my mind where I tell myself, "I'll get to this later".  Well, it is later and though I don't have as much to share with you as I'd like, I'm going to at least share my favorite spot in our living room.  I promise to show the rest of the room soon but for now the opposite half of the living room has been occupied by my daughters boyfriend who has been staying with us for the past 7 or so weeks until his apartment is ready for him to move into, and so the couch is usually made up for him to sleep on!   Here is a photo of the current living room just as we found it, a small room just off the entry of the house with a nice marble and wood fireplace surround, hard wood floors, beautiful crown mouldi

The History of Johnson Brothers and The Friendly Village Tablescape

Last week, Shawn and I popped into a couple of estate sales and I picked up over 100 pieces of Johnson Brother's The Friendly Village .  I think I may have to hang on to 12 of the dinner plates and use them this year at Thanksgiving but the rest of them, including this 48 piece service for 8, will be you know where. I don't know about you all, but I have had enough of Summer and I am down right ready for the cooler temperatures of Autumn.  I've been doing a lot of rearranging around the house….I'm in one of those zones where I've got a zillion projects going on, even if half of them are just in my mind that I'm contemplating!   We've also been moving kids out and around.  Three of them are out and the three still at home are moving or rearranging their rooms around.    Since I am yearning for Fall, haven't posted any tablescapes in a while and just got these Friendly Village pieces I decided to set the table with them.      Oh great, I

More Traditional Red White & Blue Rooms with Transferware

A couple of weeks ago I shared some pictures of beautiful rooms in red and blue color schemes decorated with transferware .    Here is another roundup of rooms that I adore, all with red and blue color schemes and all with transferware!  Enjoy!  (via Traditional Home) (via enchanted home) (my old living room) Joining some of the following parties: Between Naps on The Porch Transformation Thursday at  The Shabby Chic Cottage Feathered Nest Friday at  French Country Cottage Friday Inspiration  At The Picket Fence Cindy at  My Romantic Home Funky Junk Interiors Charm of Home No Minimalist Here WOW  Amaze Me Mondays  Making Monday Link Party  Motivational Mondays  What'd You Do This Weekend?   Inspire Me Monday   Make It Pretty Monday   Monday Link Party  Inspire Me Monday 

My English Country Mom Cave

Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch is hosting a Home Goods Mom Cave contest with four lucky winners.  Come on in to my little niche I've carved out of my house.  This is where I work, create, relax, read and chat with friends and family. This is one of my favorite spots in the house to read about one of my favorite subjects...English transferware or poetry, and drink tea.  I often start and end my day right here. Next to the chair is an antique dumbwaiter which holds some decorative items as well as lots of poetry books.  This is the view of the room from the wing back chair.  This cozy room serves as a small living room, although it's not uncommon to have 8 or 9 of the girls in here during family gatherings.  It's usually where we all wind up to have coffee and visit. . On either side of the sofa I display some of my vintage Canine figurines on Spode meat drainers. Above the sofa are some of my favorite paintings.  The one directly over the sofa my Mom pain

Decorating with Brown Transferware & $100 GIVEAWAY

Brown was introduced as a transferware color around 1829-30 and is the least expensive of colors to make. Therefore it is fairly common, so far as transferware goes, to find.  It is also one of the most collected colors and it is probably the most versatile of colors in my opinion.  Brown is neutral and looks good with any color scheme from pastels to rich jewel tones, but it is with the ushering in of Autumn that I see it popping up in home decor and vignettes the most.  Though, most of these rooms and vignettes are decorated with brown pieces year round, it just seems the perfect time to share them.  I may have to do another post because there are so, so many more equally beautiful spaces that have incorporated the use of displaying brown transferware  and I can't fit them all here. So, check these lovelies out and then stick around for the giveaway at the bottom of the post. This vignette just stole my heart the first time I saw it.  So many of us have vintage luggage

The Aesthetic Movement and Transferware

What is the Aesthetic Movement? The Aesthetic Movement refers to a period of time in the late 19 th century (1870-1900) which was a backlash to the formal Victorian years.  Artists and writers of the Aesthetic movement period maintained the belief that art should provide refined sensuous pleasure, rather than convey moral or sentimental messages.  They believed that art did not have any didactic purpose; it need only be beautiful.  Japanese art had a great influence on Aestheticism. Aesthetic interiors were often decorated with Japanese prints, screens, fans and other objects. An appreciation of the art of Japan is seen in the work of many Aesthetic artists and designers such as James McNeill Whistler and E.W. Godwin. photo credit Country Living The Aesthetes developed the cult of beauty, which they considered the basic factor in art. They ascertained that life should copy art and considered nature as crude and lacking in design

Decorating with Blue Transferware and a GIVEAWAY!

   If you haven't already been over to Enchanted Home , you'll want to go over after you finish this post because the wonderful Tina, who authors the incredibly gorgeous blog,  has a great post up about decorating with dishes plus she's hosting a giveaway to my online shop, English Transferware !  Details at the end of the post! I know Tina loves blue and white (just look at her header and you'll know!) and has a collection of her own. In honor of Tina, I've decided to share some of my favorite images of rooms decorated with and often around blue transferware collections.  You can see more rooms decorated with blue transferware on my Pinterest board . To me, Charles Faudree is just about as synonymous with English transferware as he his with French Country Decorating...he seemed to always find a use for it in his incredibly detailed decorating schemes.  Isn't this bedroom charming? I love this next image from Decor Magazine.  Look how the blu
