giveaway // typewriter boneyard

This week I worked my last day at the cafe. "Why?" you might ask. Philip and I decided that my time would be better spent working from home. His lamps have been selling like crazy. He's having a hard time keeping up (especially with his full time job). We have a lot of big ideas for this upcoming year. Since we are basically out of time and energy for anything, we decided that it was time for change and slowing down. We are moving in the next few months, getting rid of a lot of our "things" (let me tell you, we have a lot), and trying to simplify the way that we do life. It's really exciting because it almost feels like starting from scratch, but without all of the scary unknowns.


Update: GIVEAWAY CLOSED


So I thought, "In honor of my new work situation and the new year, why not do a giveaway?" I also thought it should be a big one because this is a really exciting transition for us, Therefor, we're giving away one of our Hardback Book Lamps. Oh yes, it's true.



You can have up to 2 entries in this giveaway. One way to enter is to leave a comment telling me what you are excited about most for this new year. The second way you can enter is by following Philip on twitter and leave a comment letting me know that you did so.

We're so excited about what this new year will bring and are so grateful for the amazing support that we've had so far. Good luck to everyone in this giveaway and have a fun and safe new year's celebration!!!

PLEASE NOTE: The bulb included in this giveaway is not the one pictured, but the standard squirrel cage bulb like the one pictured here. Still awesome, just different. Also, this giveaway is closed to international entries. However, to our lovely international friends and supporters, we will have more giveaways very very soon for you. I promise!

  8. I am most excited to get this book! :) I suppose though I am truly excited to start school! I know it seems silly but I am starting my second bachelors to do something I am truly passionate about, nursing! This book would make a lovely study lamp!

  9. First, amazing giveaway. Love love love the lamp and I can see it fitting quite nicely right next to me on my office desk. Hmmm. I am probably most excited to watch my new baby girl grow. She just turned 4 months old and I am dreaming of all the "firsts" she will have this year. First tooth, first word, first step. It will be a big year for her....and me too as a momma. Happy new year to you!

  10. I am most excited to see how this year is going to play out in the lives of my kids. Our oldest just bought a house in San Marcos and is so excited about it. This lamp would look fabulous in his house. He has commented for several years about wanting one. I hope I win!! He loves Phil's creations... btschmidt@gmail.com
