12days2009logo2.jpg

I am such a fan of Yorktown Road, the next 12 Days of Indie Holiday Shopping shop. It’s hard to believe that I haven’t treated myself  to one or several of their items.  Anyway, before I make this all about me….Yorktown Road, they make the most to die for accessories & housewares from hand-dyed linens & repurposed leathers.  The colors of their linens are really superb, you must see for yourself what I’m talking about.

I don’t know who you are shopping for this holiday season (maybe yourself), but I’m pretty sure that you cannot go wrong gifting a Yorktown Road design.  The only trouble you may run into will be topping yourself next year. I’m also sure that you wouldn’t mind winning some Yorktown Road goodies.

To win: Leave a comment below with your favorite Yorktown Road designs. Multiple entries will be accepted, but you must leave a comment for each entry, i.e. if you find 3 favorites, then leave 3 separate comments. This will increase your chances for winning!

I will choose one random commenter to win a choice of 2 items up to $100. This contest ends December 2nd at 11:59 pm EST.

The entry period for this contest has ended, please stay tuned for the announcement of the winner.

  314. like the starburst pleat zip in eggplant to hold my little digital camera-very cute!

  315. am also loving the loud chartreuse mum tote!

  316. I really love the mum tote–it’s gorgeous and I love the re purposed leather straps as a contrast <3

  317. I really want a small linen zip clutch that’s textured on both sides with numerous wavy pleats. I need it to be the perfect size to slip in my bag, after I’ve filled it with daily necessities, but it also needs to be sturdy enough to use as a small clutch. It would be a plus if it was made of hand-dyed golden yellow linen with a black zipper and lined with linen. I wouldn’t want it to be much bigger than about 3. 5/8″ x 10.5″ It would be a major plus if it was a freeform design and no patterns were used.

    OH WAIT!
