Calling Desireé !

Dear Desireé, since no one expressed any desire to participate in the give-away except you I decided that I wanted to give you the gloves you so eagerly desired even though you don't have a blog and thus have not blogged about it. But it seemed like the fun thing to do! :)

Since you don't have a blog I'm reaching out to you this way.

So, send me a message at frkquartey-missquartey@yahoo.se and let me know your address in the world and I will post the gloves asap to you!

R.I.P Etta James !

Etta James, the legendary singer, died at age 73. To listen to the clip don't forget to stop my iPod tunes first.



Would also like to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU ! - I now have 100 followers! Look out for the Celebratory Give Away coming your way very soon !!

And I thought I was going some where warm...

Hi Vintage Lovers!

I am in LA, but the weather is so cold that its making me shiver! I'm in my Moms house and have yet to figure out how to connect to her internet provider, so bear with me! Right now I'm on her computor, but I will soon be back on my own computor bringing more, much more to the table! :)

But on a quick note... 95 followers is v-e-r-y exciting, soon I have 100! When that happens we will have to celebrate with some grand give away! :)

We have a winner !

Sometime ago I wanted to celebrate my 50th post by having a Give Away. Unfortunately for reasons unknown to me only one (1) person showed her interest...

But that doesn't not take away anything from the fact that we have a winner and her name is...

Kirsten over at This Homemade Life !! Hope the earrings will give an extra "sparkle" to your Christmas this year ! :)

Another give away is happening over at LemondropMarie. Hers is the sweetest little Xmas charm bracelet ever !

Hmm..

I´ve been writing on the script that I´m going to use for my next project ( in Ghana), as well as meeting the really nice couple who is going to rent my apartment while I´m gone. The weather here in Sweden is pretty bleak, so it will be great to leave for Africa soon !

Poor Neo has not been doing so well ... He has some kind of allergic reaction (probably to meat). We´ve been to the vet. and I´ve put him on a new diet. One that he is not happy about. Suddenly I have a whole new understanding of mothers who implore their 3-year olds to "Eat! Please, eat my darling!"

Lemondropvintage had a comment about my Give Away that made sense. About how its been this crazy holiday and all. She also had a suggestion that I prolong a few days longer.

So I´m extending My Give Away until Monday 30th ! Hope some more of you gals will be interessted. :) XXX Diva

Celebrating !

Since this is my 50th post I wanted to ( finally !) have my own first GIVE AWAY ! And so I am giving away a pair of much loved black earrings that have a certain "divaesque" quality ! :)

All you have to do is :

1) Post a few words about it on your blog.

2) Let me know that you are interested in participating ! :) And the winner will receive them via mail where ever she lives in the world !



They are black & gold, with clips



Trés sexy... ;) A winner will be annonced on the 28th of this month !

Also, I´ve just created a Facebook page called Divas House, were I´m hoping we can meet ( if it works as I hope it will, I mean hm...I am no FB expert... ;) I thought it could be cool to have a place were those of us who feel like it could chat, exchange tips, photos and just generally hang out ( perhaps with a glass of champagne, no ? :) in a more concentrated way. Look at the bottom of the page !

And I´m planning to host my first CHRISTMAS WEB-COCKTAIL in my FB "house" sometime early December before I leave for Ghana again. All in the spirit of getting out of the before mentioned closet - ha ha. More information to come !
