It's March and what a month it's been! I celebrated a big birthday and so did Exquisitely Unremarkable. Five years ago, this month, I began writing in this little space, sharing some of my thoughts, humorous tales and chronicling my DIY and craft projects.
***THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED***
I had no idea what I was doing, who I would meet or where it would lead me, but boy oh boy, what fun it's been! I have made so many wonderful friends and been blessed with so many readers who come back year after year, post after post, to see what words I've put to paper.
For a writer, what could be better than that?
I am truly grateful for each and every visit, comment and email and what better way to express my very sincere thanks than with a little giveaway.
This weekend, while in Pottery Barn, I picked up a $25 gift card to give away to one lucky reader.
A little 5th Exquisitely Unremarkable anniversary celebration if you will.
How do you enter? Well, we're going old school today. If you are a US resident and you'd like to win, just leave me a comment, with your email so I can contact you. If you aren't one for comments, email me.
You rekindled my love of milk glass with your last post. Thanks.Happy Birthday & Happy Blog-aversary!

Happy belated birthday and congratulations on five years. I am subscribed. The thing that brought me to your blog was that big red wreath. I love it. A gift card to Pottery Barn would cheer me right up. Here is to another five years.

Congrats Kim on both you blogaversary and the BIG birthday :D I love all the things I see on Pinterest from Pottery Barn but do you know we can't actually see their site here in South Africa. Mweh, it's been blocked for some silly reason. Anyways wishing you many, many more happy blogging years. I love your posts and writing style
ReplyDeleteI never comment but I wanted to let you know I love your little bungalow. You inspire me with all your crafty things and your clever writing of your stories. You make me laugh. Keep on doing what you are doing. I will keep coming back. Happy Birthday and thank you for your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhen ever I need inspiration I love stopping by Pottery Barn. It's full of beautiful dishes, bedding and so much more. vanessa@DIY180.com

Happy anniversary and birthday! I can’t believe how beautiful the plates turned out which look like milk glass! I love to win the giveaway since I’m spying some pink plates from Pottery Barn!
ReplyDeletedadgum do i ever love your give -aways...this a great one...been with you for quite awhile and will continue to do so prize or not...your blog is the best!...look forward to it everyday! blessings, norma
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kim on your blogaversary! It is amazing how the years pass by, and when you look back, it has been such an incredible journey! I'm so thankful that our paths crossed, your writings have been a blessing, and an inspiration to me many times! How special of you to offer up such a lovely gift to celebrate your blogaversary. Seeing as I won your last giveway, (such a fun one it was!) you don't have to enter me in this one, but I did want to congratulate you and just let you know how glad I am that we have become blogging friends :) Hugs to you today sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your white dishes! My mother passed away a little over a year ago (age 90) and we have been slowing going through her "hoard" of things. I found an almost complete set of Iris Fresh Flowers by Excel in brown paper bags with the cardboard protector sheets between the plates. Hubby had just commented days before I brought them home we needed new dishes! These are not totally white (blue and pink edged) but I do like iris' so they are a nice change from our old dinnerware set! WIN/WIN
ReplyDeleteDear Kim,
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those very, very few people who's never been to Pottery Barn. What a special treat it'll be for me! I've only received your e-mail notices for a couple of months, and am very pleased to have discovered your Exquisitely Unremarkable blog. I love your blog title, BTW. My e-mail address is cindy_craw1956@outlook.com.

ReplyDeleteAwwwww...you are so generous. I love the giveaways from back in the early days of my blogging. Not for the gift per se, but when I was picked, the gift came wrapped and with such a creative touch in a card, or tag, or handwritten note. A 'Real' feel from the person I never met. Good luck to al!

I'm subscribed to your blog and love to follow your thrifting adventures! happy blog-a-versary! Would love to win that PB giftcard!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 5 years my friend! It's been fun navigating this journey with you.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog and emails....congrats on 5 years. I am a dish person so I can relate to your mix/match dilemma and btw they look great together. As I get closer to my 70th birthday I am trying so hard to cut down on buying dishes and other non essentials in my life (I have cabinets full of dishes) and I see so many great ones I have to hold one hand and slap it hard to not buy anymore. Enjoy your dishes Hope you also had a great birthday.... Karen bryks@aol.com
ReplyDeleteHappy blog anniversary and happy birthday! Just subscribed to your newsletter. Thanks for the chances to win! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gesture! Congrats on your anniversary! xoxo
