buy.at “Twitter A Winner” Contest!

You know I love entering contests, right?  Well, of course I do – especially when the prizes are exciting, fabulous, useful, fun or delicious!

Before I attended Affiliate Summit East 2011 in New York City I entered the buy.at “Twitter a Winner” contest. It’s an easy-enter contest – just submit your Twitter name to be in the draw. During the two day opening of the Expo Hall at ASE11, buy.at tweeted to the winners to drop by their booth to claim their prize. Lucky me, I was watching my twitter stream and sure enough I received a tweet.
Of course I dropped everything and asked a friend to hold down the fort (the blogger lounge) until I got back. When I arrived at the buy.at booth, Amy Ely said I won a fabulous Designers Guild Wool Blanket. Blankets, quilts, and throws are one of my favorite items – and I couldn’t even guess at how many I have – but I have a collection which means more than three!

I absolutely love the warmth and coziness of this blanket and the silk edging – it combines the comfort of old fashioned wool in a whole new contemporary style with the blend of colors and pattern. My daughter saw the blanket in my suitcase when I arrived home and immediately tried to take ownership! She’s 29 – yep, some things never change

It’s now on our attic bed where she sleeps whenever she comes to visit. I know my granddaughter will love snuggling under it as well. It’s a beauty and I will treasure it, but I will also use it as it provides much joy and remembrances of a great contest, great group of people and the best conference ever.

Thanks so much Designers Guild and buy.at for this fabulous prize during the Twitter a Winner contest!
