~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...

Wanda
So beautiful....I would love to give the prettest little case a loving home......For all my over night things.....I would love it for ever........Big hugs........
Im going to do a post on my blog right now........Lisa Demars from Canada......Big hugs......
P.S. I forgot to type this in my other comment heheheeheh
Dear Sweet Rebecca,
How generous !!!
Please enter my name in your drawing. I am currently a follower of yours and also have liked your Facebook page. I have been dreaming about having one of your lovely cases . I have kept all my greeting cards that I have received for the past 40 years, from family and friends. The ones handmade from my children when they were little and the ones from my grandchildren are the most precious to me. I currently keep all my sentimental keepsakes in and old picnik basket, kinda beat up and falling appart. If I am fortunate enough to win your beautiful case it would be the new home for all my little treasures. ;0)
Hugz, Carol
Oh Rebecca....you have been busy making your gorgeous works of art......you're amazing!
Not sure how to do the side bar 'thingys' on my I Pad, but I did 'like' you on Face Book. If I were to win, I'd want to give the beautiful gift to my daughter, but ....I'd also want to keep it for myself as a remembrance of you and enjoy the beauty of the case.
Oh my gosh. My mom had a whole set of white Lady Baltimore luggage and sadly, my brother disposed of it.....not sure how or where. This would be so treasured!
Hi Rebecca
I think it is admirable that you take these old train cases and give them new life. They end up being more beautiful, and feminine than when new.
I could picture this one once it's had your magic touch at my home with vintage linens on display in it.
Judith
this is so beautiful Rebecca, how lovely of you to give one away. I would love to gift this to my daughter...you know how our daughters carry our hearts wit them and just how deeply we are in love with them. Wouldn't that be perfect!
I'll have to get busy with all the ways to enter! Here's one...a comment. My fingers will be crossed for a long time.♥♫
Oh how lovely and I am doing #4 in your list...I would love to gift this beauty to my sister...it is always special to get a wonderful piece of art...
Oh my sweet friend, this is a FABULOUS and VERY generous Giveaway you are having!! I already own one of your beautiful train cases, and it contains very personal and treasured items of my parents, who have both passed away much too soon ~ should I be so fortunate as to win this one, it will hold special momentos of my first Grandson, and future grandchildren that I will someday have.
Warmest hugs, Brenda
I have your giveaway pic on my left sidebar, and it is linked right back to this post ~ and as you already know, I am one of your followers.
You never cease to amaze me, truly. I have done all you require & now I will do the last step. I would LOVE to win your case as I have admired them since the very first one I ever saw on ebay. Though I believe they are worth every single penny you charge and more, I find it very difficult to spend such money on myself when it could be used in so many other areas of our home, family and life in general.
I would keep it but in the long run, it would be for my children upon my earthly death. I would place items my husband & I find important, verses & quotes of meaning, pictures of family etc inside. The case would then go into our cedar hope chest when filled. Much like the movie Bridges of Madison County, I would leave them end of earth life letters with all the things that might be unsaid or the hopes & dreams I would want them to chase. As you know, I lost my mother at the tender age of 8. I have vicariously been privlaged to live through the relationship you have with your parents through your post. This has touched me in more ways than you could ever possibly know. The only possession I have of my mother is a picture she wrote on the back of, a letter written to my g'ma that was then sent to me & a locket of her on one side and g'ma and g'pa on the other. I want to leave more for my children so they will never have to wonder who we are or what our thoughts and dreams were. It would not only be a gift from you but also a gift to my children. I would also include the story of the case in the case for them so they may know the kindness of strangers long after the act of giving was done.
Wow, of course I would have to be right after Tammy! I would probably use it in my sewing room and my son will sell it at my estate sale! LOL
Carol
Hello Rebecca, I picked the perfect day to stop by and visit you!
If I won one of your gorgeous train cases; I would use it to keep special momentos in and display it to enjoy.
I posted the picture and link on my sidebar of my blog.
I also will blog about the giveaway in a future post, and will let you know when I do so.
I'm a follower. I'm a FB liker.
I'm a believer... yeah, yeah.... ooops, got carried away! LOL!
Thank you for the opportunity.
Blessings,
:)

Hi Rebecca, just found your site from one of your followers. How lovely of you to give such a beautiful gift away. It would be a holder for my own wedding memories. I have the shoes, cake top, invitations etc and they need a pretty home.
I have become a follower; not because I had to, but because I wanted to keep up to date with your lovely work.
Kind Regards
Judith
Rebecca, you are a very generous blogger. Someone will be extremely happy to receive one of your beautiful works of art. Vintage train cases have been a favorite of mine since I first saw my mom's which I still have. I haven't had the nerve to paint it yet but - soon.
Brenda
What a beautiful and very generous giveaway! If I won, I would definitely keep it and display it in my home. There are so many uses for such a beautiful piece. I am already a follower and I will get busy with the other chances to win. Your train cases are the prettiest I have seen. You do such beautiful work.

Wow, I would love to have a train case! I just liked you on Facebook. Mmmm what would I do with it - I should gift it to my sister whose entire apartment is shabby pink cottage, but I probably wouldn't be able to. I would probably display it in my guest room after blabbing about it all over my blog. I have that issue of RHM. Beautiful! Love, Linda
P.S. my daddy was a preacher too.
How nice! I came across your blog not too long ago. Would love to win this! I know exactly what I would do with it.

I' visiting via the rusty thimble, and you are so right , these give aways seem to really catch ones eye.I'm glad I found you though because you do have a beautiful blog and are very talented.I think I'm your newest follower.Thats a beautiful case,, please enter me, I no longer have facebook ( I got hacked! ) I'm a new blogger and I'm still unccertain how to put the advert on my blog.
Dear Rebecca,
I was away on the weekend and just found out about your beautiful Giveaway. Oh yes, I want to win it. I am fascinated with train cases because you see, when I was a little girl, my family moved to another province and every other weekend, holiday, and summertime, we would head 'home' to visit my grandparents. It was always great fun to ride the train in those days, pressing my nose against the window to watch the scenery whiz by. The biggest delight of course was pulling into the train station and Granny and Grampy would be there waiting for us. I had my own little train case which always held a present from my grandparents to take back home with me. I miss those days and them! So, you see, a train case painted by you would be a delightful reminder of those precious years from my childhood. I am a Follower and have been for a long time. Thank you for giving me a chance to win this exquisite case. Have a lovely day, my friend.
Blessings and hugs,
Sandi
Rebecca, I have placed your Giveaway button on my sidebar with the link back to this post.

I have a tea party going on at the moment so I will blog about this Giveaway shortly. Thanks again for a chance to win.

Ok, first things first - why would I like to win this case? Because it is truly exquisite and covered in the most beautiful roses, which makes it so perfect for our cottage in France. The cottage is called La Croix Rosion, The Rose Cross in old French, and the pink guest bedroom is very much rose themed. Fingers crossed.

Rebecca ... I am a relatively new reader of you blog and enjoy it so much. When I saw your train case, it took my breath away. A few days earlier, I had been cleaning out a storage unit and my eyes fell on my "Mama's" old train case. It looked a lot like yours, only "Samsonite beige" and tired. Please consider this my request to be considered in your giveaway. Thanks! Patty A.
Rebecca, I have your picture on my blog side bar at www.gracefulrose.blogspot.com. Hope I win your beautiful train case.
Rebecca, I went and "liked" you on Facebook. Consider this another entry to win your beautiful train case.
Rebecca, my name is Janet Greer and I am the artist behind Graceful Rose. If I were to win your beautiful train case, I would keep it for myself. It would be so pretty as I am fixing up my new art studio and would use it for my tags, note cards and other paper items that I offer on my website.
Rebecca, I am already a follower and would love to win your gorgeous train case. Thank you so much.

Hi
I am your newest Follower
If I were ever to be so lucky to win, then after I have swooned (in a ladylike fashion!) I would definitely wish to keep this.
I am a crafter and have been on the look out for an adorable case to store a selection of craft supplies.
I am a lover of old faded romance, pink and vintage so you have no idea how much I would wish to be the proud owner.

Hi Rebecca,
I am so super excited about your giveaway! I did do a blog post about it on my blog. I saw your cases a few years back and really wanted one. I even tried to make one. HA HA what a joke. I don't know how you redo the interior of the case so beautifully but I do know it can not be easy as I tried it! It was not a sucess. If I when the train case I will use it as a display piece, and one day when my daughter marries, I may give it to her for her wedding night. Blessings to you,
Amy Jo

Seeing the lovely cases reminded me of the ones my older sisters had when I was a little girl. Gosh it brought back memories.

Rebecca your train case is just the prettiest! I remember when I got my first one when I was 13. My parents let me get it with trading stamps! I used to keep my hair rollers in it! Wow...that's going back a few years! I dont know whatever happened to it. Alot of stuff from my childhood disappeared when I was away from home. Your creation is so unique and so feminine! Please enter me in your giveaway and you already know I am a follower. ~Hugs, Patti

As one who tries very hard to NEVER wish away time I find sitting on my hands waiting for this drawing to be almost utterly unbearable. UNBEARABLE I tell you. Surely I must be up to at least 6 or 7 possibly draws don't you think? :) One way or another, you simply must pick my name. I am such an admirer of what you to these cases. Otherwise, I must take the slow road and save my pennies. One day I tell you, ONE DAY I hope to own one of these beautiful cases. Huggers. Tammy
It is beauty! I just want that such beauty was mine :)))))))) Ally.

Honey I tried to leave a comment twice but it did not work...my computer skills are what one would call 'continually learning' and just quietly moving up my skills and when it comes to comment boxes some work for me and some don't.....this one don't work pour moi!
You are among my favorites and your giveaway tugged at my heart strings as I am a true Romantic at heart... still as a great-grandmother.
My parents gave me luggage for graduation. Gifts were few and far between and luggage was tres expensive but they knew I would be thrilled and it came with me when I was married a few years later. We, my dear one and I, celebrated 59 years of marriage in September.
The old luggage will always be sought out as it speaks to those who love 'tradition'. As a winner I would treasure it as you put so much love and attention into it and later it would go to a dear granddaughter...not sure which one at the moment but will know when God whispers the name into my ear.
With gratitude,
Sylvia Faye
I'm new to blogging but have posted as best I can your info about the give away. www.stitchesonmyneedle.blogspot.com
I would love to have this beautiful piece and it would inspire me to look at the several my Mom left me in a whole new way. What a great way to begin to redo to give to my granddaughters.
Ok I love your facebook page and I did like. My previous comment listed by blog page and that I put your info on this giveaway there. Thanks...Mary D
The second I saw your hand-painted train case, my heart skipped a beat. I could actually smell this old travel case inside and out! Just the fact that you stirred memories from the past that I completely forgot about has given me reason to pause. Do you ever have those moments when you see an object and scenes from your life come flooding back to you? I remember being about 5 years old and visiting an old friend of my mom’s who had a hair salon in her house. When my mom went to see Gerda to get her hair done, I guess (being 5 yrs old) I would have to be entertained. Looking back, I remember Gerda had a travel case that she must have kept empty for my visits. They would let me play with the suitcase while Gerda did my mom’s hair. I would imagine myself taking a trip to who knows where, packing my makeup and toiletries in my carry-on. I distinctly remember pulling on the little pouches that were inside the lining, thinking to myself what treasures I would put in them. As I let the pouches snap back into place, I got a whif of Gerda's perfume and makeup smell. The most fascinating this is, is that I can still remember the smell of that suitcase some 50 years later, especially when I saw your picture! I have been trying to decide on how to decorate my guest room and I’ve been thinking about shabby chic, but I’m not sure exactly how to attain that feeling. Well, your travel case has given me the “feeling” and would be the stepping stone I need for inspiration!! I JUST LOVE IT!!
I don’t have a blog, but I’m on facebook and I have “liked” a “Gathering Place”, I am also leaving this as a comment on your blog (if I'm able to), and I have left a comment on my top 10 favorite blogs about you!! I would so love to have this travel case as something I could pass onto my (now two year old) grandaughter, along with my story!! If I’m not your winner, at least I have some inspiration!
Thank you so much for your beautiful work!! :-)

On one hand I think it silly we all clammer after a piece of something but then on the other I think, how beautiful. No matter how you look at this giveaway it's from CHRIST & that is why I WANT IT!! LOL... alll kidding aside, I know it to be a gift by way of your hand from Christ. He has blessed you with an instrument many of us would behold to have. Your creative mind. I have some but you, you touch a thing & it comes to life. How blessed you are and to share such beauty with us all... amazing...
Now, just between you and I, I have purchased a little note book from you that will hold my favorite scriptures and quotes for my g'daughter. I will tuck in this case WHEN you send it to me. hehe... I want her to know that no matter how ugly the world can be and no matter how sad my story, her granny, I always tried to surround myself with pretty things, beautiful people & life long friends.
I just wanted throw another piece of paper in the drawing but thought better of it to write you a little note. Hugs. tammy

I just posted on my blog about your gorgeous giveaway.
I am in love and this beautiful suitcase would look perfect in my sewing/craft room, which is decorated in sage with touches of cream and pink. I would use it to display vintage sewing items.
Rebecca, I'm so happy I found your beautiful blog!
I have posted this giveaway on my blog, become a blog follower and "liked" you on Facebook.
The beautiful vintage train case would be an incredibly wonderful gift for my daughter's birthday. I would fill it with a vintage apron, handwritten recipe cards, handmade lavendar soap, and the book One Thousand Gifts. She would be thrilled.
Thanks for the opportunity~

Rebecca,
I am a loyal follower, I have "liked you on Facebook, I have your give away on my side bar. I hope I win. I believe my E-mail is attached to this comment.
Thanks so much.
I am a faithful follower on Facebook!
I would love to win the train case just to finally have a copy of your beautiful work in my hands to admire close up and personal. I'd put it on display in my boudoir! :)
Dear Rebecca, I love your train case and know that it will make some one very happy.
If I were lucky enough to win the train case I would like it to go to someone that could never in their wildest dreams ever afford or imagine being able to own something as beautiful as this.
I am sure your or someone at your church would know of someone that is deserving and that is the person that I would like to win this case. They do not have to be a church member they could be a deserving person in the community. But most of all they could never afford to buy this, I think would be the best gift of all for this case.
Thank you Rebecca for this, Blessings always, Maureen Reid
What love you share through your decorating! So enjoyed seeing your blog and the vintage train case.

I love this train case. It's so adorable. If I won, I would save it for my little granddaughter for a couple of years so she could use it for her room decor when she's old enough to take care of it.
Thanks.
I'm glad to know you have a FB page. Following you now.

I've been following your blog. It's been one of my favorite places to visit.
I am a new follower and I thank you for the chance to win this beautiful train case. I would give it to my adult daughter. She would absolutely adore this.
I have liked you on face book. Thanks for the chance.
Hi Rebecca! Been awhile since I have been here to see you. I would really like to win this! I would give it to my friend, NanaDiana. You know she posted about your give away this morning. She's been very kind to me this year and I would so love for her to have this wonderful little case.

Hi, If I were to win this giveaway, I'd want it shipped to my Sister in Christ, Nana Diana. It would perfectly fit into her home, and she is such a lovely and thoughtful person.

Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
Beautiful, beautiful case! I "liked" you on facebook and began following your blog and I'm now commenting, so that's 3 entries! :-) And although I'd love to win the case and keep it (I'd use it as a baby girl photo prop) if my name is drawn, please send it to Nana Diana. I think she's get much more joy out of it than I would as she would use it for pleasure and I'd just use it for work. Plus - the srawing will be held on her birthday and it would make a wonderful birthday surprise! :-)
And thank you for offering such a beautiful give away. I'm glad I was told about it as I love your blog. I'll have to start watching it for ideas for decorating my tea room.
Your train case is just stunning! If I were so lucky as to win it, I would use it to store crafting supplies! Please enter me, Merci!
Donna Welter
Your train cases are just beautiful - I'm not sure I could part with it if I was lucky enough to win. It would depend on how spontaneous I was feeling when it arrived. But I'd be sure and let you know what I decided!
Oh how I would love to win your giveaway. It is so pretty, I would probably keep it. I "like" you on FB!..Christine
You have a beautiful blog and you are so talented so I am following you now....Christine
Hi Rebecca, I would love to enter your gorgeous giveaway. I would find the perfect place in my home to display it! I joined your facebook page a good while back, and of course I've been a follower of your lovely blog for a long time! Thanks so much for the chance!
hugs~~~ Daphne
What a beautiful treasure to give away. I would love to win this train case, and make it part of my decor in my bedroom. I have joined your facebook page, but so far do not have my own blog, and I will continue to follow yours. Bonnie
Dear Rebecca,
I have been following your blog since the beginning. It is such a blessing to me. I check it everyday at least once and to look at the many beautiful creations you make with those talented hands of yours. I have been lucky enough to purchase a few, but would love to buy all of them!
I have liked you on facebook and tried to leave comments a few times but I must have done something wrong. I'm trying yet again.
The case is beautiful. A few months ago I lost my mother after a long illness. Following your blog, I know what your mother means to you. I don't have to tell you what this did to me. Nothing compares to this loss and I have had many.
I would love to put all of my mothers sweet little trinkets that I received after her passing in it for my daughters and add some of my own as the years go on. It would just be something very special to bring out from time to time remembering the special woman that God graced me with, and was able to call Mother.
Thank you for being that special someone I can go to for encouragement. You may never know how many lives you touch!
May God Bless You in All that you do.
