~*~*~*~ Candle Giveaway ~*~*~*~

I'll get to the giveaway, but first I was wondering if I might ask you for some help. 

The belly dance studio I attend Saffron Dance  has been nominated for two local awards -
Best Place to Learn Something New and Best Performing Arts Organization
Its a very exciting honor to be nominated and I'm hoping that I might ask you to please vote for the studio in these two categories?  You can vote here and if you can help us out with a vote, when you leave your comment please let me know if you voted.

This isn't the first time I've had a sponsored giveaway, but Saffron is a part of my life so this is certainly more meaningful to me.  Here is a little peek of what you're voting for.

On to the giveaway ... Saffron Dance is sponsoring a giveaway! 
There's such a welcoming atmosphere in the studio when you enter and the delicious candles are one reason for that.


One lucky person out there is going to get a candle from luxury candle line Votivo - a $25 value. 
Each Votivo candle is hand-crafted. Each tissue is hand-wrapped. Each pewter seal is hand-pressed. Each candle is specially made. They're famous for their ability to quickly fill a room with wonderful fragrances.  I can attest to this.  Even when the candles aren't burning, their scent fills the air.  Just taking the picture above made me want to keep it because it smell so good!
To enter, just leave a comment.  This time around, I'm giving you the opportunity for a extra entries if you share this giveaway on your blog, facebook, or twitter so if you share the giveaway, leave extra comments for each place you've shared telling me you've done so. 

IMPORTANT - Please Read:  Make sure that there is a way for me to contact you if you win - either an e-mail address in your profile or within the post or if you don't want to post your e-mail address. I have to delete comments without contact information. Sorry!

The giveaway ends at noon on November 9th at noon.

Good luck!

  27. Hi Melanie!

    I voted! I also just wanted to let you know how much I love your blog. I had saved some of your photos of your dining room several months ago, but didnt realize they came from your blog. I think I must of found them from someone else's inspiration photos. Anyway, I stumbled on your blog this weekend and read through the WHOLE thing, lol. Just wanted to share how much I love your style.

    Sorry for the long post. Thanks again.
