~VINTAGE TRAIN CASE in WHITE~
(Previously Sold)
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME EXCITEMENT? TODAY STARTS A NEW GIVEAWAY!!!
Back in 2006 when Erika Kotite was the Editor of Romantic Homes Magazine I had the privilege of having some of my work showcased in their September issue.
~ROMANTIC HOMES ARTICLE~
"Hello Gorgeous"
Seems like forever ago now, but I will always remember the excitement and joy that came with that initial contact! If I'm being honest with you because of that article my business grew by leaps and bounds. I'll always be grateful to RHM and to the women who contacted them in my behalf. Nothing quite compares to the feeling you get when you see your work validated in print...
~ADRIENNE'S CASE~
(Daughter)
Since that time (and before the article, too!) I've refurbished and made-over more vintage train cases than I can tell you. I've been blessed to ship them all over the world...France, Italy, Singapore, England and even Japan.
~SWEET PINK ROSE CASE~
(Previously Sold)
Mostly though they stay at home here in America. The Cases have been fashioned with many different fabrics although most of the buyers choose something in pink...
~FASHIONED IN CREAM~
(Previously Sold)
Instead of offering up several giveaways during the last half of the year, after much thought I've decided to do only one!
~FRESH WHITE CASE~
(Previously Sold)
In December some 'lucky' (for lack of a better word) blogger is going to win a vintage
"Gathering Case"TM
from A Gathering Place!!!
~READY FOR HER TRANSFORMATION~
This will be my only GIVEAWAY until next year. There are several ways to enter so I hope you'll toss your name into the hat! Somebody is going to WIN!
Here's what you can do to enter the drawing!!
1. Entry Chance #1: If you have a blog please blog about this giveaway in a separate post and include a LINK back to this post. Please include the Picture of the Case at the top (click to open then right click to copy).
2. Entry Chance #2: Please place the Train Case Picture somewhere near the top of your blog/sidebar and include a LINK back to this post as well! Not just my blog but this specific post!
3. Entry Chance #3: If you are a member of Facebook please visit my A GATHERING PLACE Page (A Gathering Place) and LIKE ME (if you haven't already). :) :) :)
4. Entry Chance #4: Please leave a comment ON THIS POST telling me why you'd like to win the Case and what you will do with the Case should you win it (gift it, keep it, etc.). Please include your NAME (first and last) in your comment.
5. If you do not have a blog then you can do this: Visit your favorite blogs (a minimum of 10) and leave a comment telling them about this giveaway and include my blog link TO THIS POST, please.
6. You don't have to follow my bloggie to be entered but if you do you'll automatically be entered into the drawing!
Additionally, YOU MUST LET ME KNOW in your comment (on THIS POST) if you've done any or all the above.
Many people ask why giveaways are done and for me the answer is simple. Advertising is MEGA EXPENSIVE and there is nothing better than getting direct internet exposure by hosting giveaways for FREE STUFF. The more something is talked about and linked to the more business I get! It's as easy as that!
The Train Case/Gathering Case GIVEAWAY begins today, Saturday, October 15th, and will end Sunday, December 11, 2011, at midnight. The Case will be fashioned to my own liking, but I will personalize the bottom if desired. Winner will be announced by Wednesday, December 14th, 2011.
(For Legal Purposes: No Cash Value, No Implied Warranty, No Purchase Necessary)
If you have any questions or comments you can email me using my contact button at the top!
~~*~~
Blessings to each of you as we move toward the Holidays. I'm feeling the JOY coming on...
Love to you...

What a generous giveaway! I have been looking for something special to put my daughter's special items in. Amber went to Heaven to be with Jesus two years ago. Since then I have looked for a "special" something for two years and this would be perfect!

This train case is fantastic. I love vintage and this is very sweet. I'd use this train case for my makeup, perfumes, lacquers, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches and much more. A beautiful jewelry!

Dear Rebecca~~
What a sweet thing to do for all of us! Of course I would cherish the thought of winning the beauty you create. I have been one of your followers for quite some time (as you know), and have liked you already on facebook. I'm having a little trouble linking/posting this to my blog. I would put this beauty in my sewing studio and admire it everyday and treasure it for life! Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family and your friend Dennis...have been busy with my preparations.
Happy Thanksgiving and blessings to you dear friend. Hugs, Mary Hysell at Mimi's corner.
I am so happy I didn't miss this opportunity to enter your giveaway! You are a very talented and creative lady! I would be absolutely blessed to win this case. I would keep it for myself. It would be my Christmas gift. I'm not sure what I would put in it yet, but it would definitely be out for all to see. I may have to fill it with the beautiful notes and love letters I get from sweet husband. I just don't know.
I have done the following:
#1 Blogged about the give away and included a photo and link.
#2 Added Give Away button to my side bar with a link.
#3 I "liked" you on Facebook
#4 I commented on how I might fill the case if I were to win.
#5 Yes I am a follower
I would probably cry if win, Because I usually don't win anything!
I forgot to leave my name on my last post - Jocelyne Trujillo from Colorado Springs, CO.
I stopped to look at your wonderful blog because I love anything pink and rosie, and I discovered your beautiful giveaway. Thank you for being so generous. I visited you on facebook and left a comment and "liked" your facebook page. Thanks again!
Dorothy
Hi Rebecca, You are one talented lady!
I would set that pretty case on my night table so it could be the first thing I'd see in the morning, as it is a feast for my eyes!
Put me in for 4 entries. I have also liked (loved) you on facebook.
I put your button/ link in my sidebar.
And I am now following you with google connect.
I've just found your blog today, you are a real inspiration.

Rebecca, this is so exquisite! I'd love to have this train case to remind me of my grandmother who passed away! It is so like her, in color choice, fabrics, design. I would keep it in my bedroom filled with her letters & prayer requests from friends!
Best wishes and thanks for a chance to win this lovely piece!

Hello Rebecca!
I have just joined your blog. I saw the link to your 'gathering case' giveaway on a friend's blog. I have posted a blog about your giveaway at my Luv2LuvAntiques blog ~ http://luv2luvantiques.blogspot.com/2011/11/gathering-place-vintage-train-case.html , and put a link on the side bar. I have also 'liked' your facebook page with my Diane McQueen profile, and Luv2LuvAntiques business name. Also you will find links to your giveaway on my fb profile, Luv2LuvAntiques fan page, and Old Fashioned Charm fb advertising page! Your train cases are beautiful! I'd luv to win the contest so I can present the case to my new 'daughter' Jenny, who recently married my eldest son! :O)
Hi Rebecca, I found your beautiful blog site just this evening. I also started my first blog site tonight, and although it's a work in progress, I have completed step #1 for your Vintage Train Case Giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity!
http://bojena69.blogspot.com/
I like very much, I hope I'm lucky!!!!!!!
I wanted to stop by and once again thank you for having this giveaway. Unbelievably generous of you to give such a gorgeous, time consuming, patiently created item from your own hands. If I had the ability to do this, surely I would make my own. However, I simply don't and that's okay. I have been collecting a few pretties to put in it should you draw my name.
I've also been thinking about how I would pay it forward should I win. The hubs and I have come up with a fabulous idea but we won't share until a name is drawn. I think it would be a wonderful way to finish off such a gorgeous, genrous giveaway.
I hope your thanksgiving was blessed with good memories to carry you to next year!
hugs
Tammy
Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for offering such a beautiful and valuable giveaway item! You are amazing!
I would love to win the train case to put beautiful cards that I have cherished from many special people, some who have passed away. I love looking at my grandmother's letters with her handwriting. I could also use it for precious photos.
I liked you on facebook also!

I love your train cases and would love to win the giveaway!! I come to your sight often because it reminds me so much of my mother. Like you, she was a talented lady and painted so many things with roses. Mother passed away in January and I now have her jewelry and a few small personal items. Your train case would be perfect for storing and displaying them. I have placed your picture on my blog and am in the process of a blog post. Love your blog!

Dear,
Please enter my name Rebecca Cuatepitzi in your drawing. I'm currently following your blog and I also LIKED you on Facebook. I may only be 24 yrs old but I love vintage items. My sister and I are just starting our Scrapbooking room and I think that your case would look beautiful in the room. I would most likely use it to store my stickers, or other craft items.
Beautiful train case. I have the perfect person in mind to receive this should I win it.

Thank you.

Hello! I found your blog searching "rav4"s, lol{my moms always wanted me to get one! now since I have a baby, I want one, same version as yours, SO BAD! =D}, and saw your beautiful travel case! &ofcourse, the first thing I thought was to give it to my newborn baby girl as a keepsake box {I keep her hospital tag and little things I've kept in a lunchbox for now. ;p} til shes old enough to use it to travel with {as much as I'd like to keep it for myself, hehe, I've always wanted one!}, Anyways, i "liked" your facebook page {alexandria loveless/xdiamondxeyesx}, hope I win! Thanks for the giveaway! =) xoxo
Wow Rebecca! What a generous give away! Naturally I had to count on my fingers for all 5 requirements for extra chances and on the other hand, I shall be crossing my fingers! :)
As for what I would do, as much as I wouldn't mind having it, I would still give it to a very special friend who has just started chemo treatments. It would be a good case for her to take with her to store her hand sewing supplies. I just recently gave her a bracelet that matches the roses so it would be perfect! Such a wonderful compliment! She is down in the dumps after her hubby left her so it would be a great pick me up.
e' meraviglioso, impazzirei dalla felicita' se lo vincessi. bravissima - ornella

Oh Rebecca, she would be right at home next to my pink perfection Gathering Case that I cherish and already own. She is always with me in my "workroom", which just happens to be my absolute favorite place to be, next to being in church. This little 'ol comment is my one entry!
Hugs, Sue Jones (yes, it really is Jones, teeheehee).
Wow! Are you ever a popular girl!! Ok - I have liked you, I am a follower, I posted about your lovely Rose embellished Train Case with a picture and I linked to you. Here is what I dream I would do with it.
I would take a trip with my sister (by Train of course). I would fill my beautiful Rose Train Case with antique Lace and fine Fabric so I can stitch on Baby Daygowns as I watch the scenery pass by, chatting with my sister and drinking tea. Ahhh, Such a good time.
I was a child during the age of travel by train. My family often traveled this way. I remember it all so well! The sleeping compartments, the dining car, the porters that made up your bed, and having real train cases for your luggage!
Not nearly as beautiful as yours, of course!
I would love to win this to remind me of my family and our trips. I miss them both so much!
Oh my what a pretty piece. Not sure what I'll use it for, but what eye candy. I don't do a blog, but love to look at others.
Jennifer Smith
I would love to win your refurbished train case. That was my first piece of luggage. Wonder where it is and if I could refurbish it! If I win I will keep it and use it to display my vintage lace an linens. Jane Briscoe
What a lovely piece. My sister and I got identical blue train cases when I was about 6 years old and I remember packing it up on Christmas day to take with us to Grandma's. I kept that case till it was ruined in Hurricane Rita when part of the roof blew off our house. It was displayed on a shelf that ran across the top of my daughter's bedroom (we thought it would be safe from all danger up high! We were thinking of little hands - Never thought about rain coming in on it.) So many fond memories of playing and carting my goodies around in it on trips. I felt so grown-up when I carried. That was back in 1962. Thanks for the chance to win this beauty.
Your strategy totally worked, because I saw the giveaway on Jeannie's blog and here I am! I've liked you on FB and followed you, so put my name in the hat!! (You should have heard my daughters' gasps when they saw the photos--"It's so PRETTY!")
What a beautiful creation! I can't believe you MADE that! If I won, I would give the case to my daughter for storing her doll clothes. Thanks for the giveaway! j-j-s AT juno DOT com
And I "like" you on FB! j-j-s AT juno DOT com
Lovely box, if I would have one like that it would be the perfect container to put some "treasures" I want to pass to my daughter. I liked you on Facebook. Diana Robert
I love the train cases, but would give this to my dear friens who would love it more!!
My fingers have me tied up amd my toes are growing weak from being crossed so much!
I wish everyone Good Luck on this beautiful giveaway. I know, no matter who wins, it will become a cherished piece in their homes or a gift one will never forget if given. Luck to all.
Tammy
Thanks for hosting such a beautiful giveaway. I would love to win this case. I heard about your giveaway over at Shabby Cats and Roses blog :) :)
I would use this to store some of my delicate vintage items that I inherited from my great-grandmother. I also have some vintage laces that I would lovingly place in the case. Of course, this would be on display on my dresser drawer so everyone can enjoy :)
Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather Hansen :)
