GIVEAWAY CLOSED
I have an extra special friend
to re-introduce you to today,
and an extra, extra special giveaway
to announce, too.
Do you remember my beautiful friend
Lisa of Bilancia Designs?
I posted about the lovely
handmade gifts she sent me
HERE....
and now it's my extreme pleasure
to introduce you to Lisa's
brand new blog and online shop!
From her shop description...
"Inspired by her passion for calligraphy,
Lisa knew she had a gift for beautiful handwriting…
one that continually evolved after receiving a simple
calligraphy set from her father at an early age.
A passion for collecting quotes and poems
later developed into hand lettering books with
hundreds of quotes she carefully penned in calligraphy.
Often asked to make handmade cards for friends
and address envelopes for weddings, soon turned into designing
customized wedding and party invitations.
After working as a floral designer for years,
the two talents merged into a wonderful business: Bilancia Designs."
Lisa's shop is a delight for the senses...

Well, where to start! First, I just love the corbels on her home! They go right up to the clouds. Next, my most favorite item on her site would have to be the pinecone tags, as I love paper ephemera and fall is just around the corner!! Beautiful button star, too!

ReplyDeleteDone! I enjoyed visiting her new site and becoming a follower. I have to say that the picture of the button star showed up as a new post on my blogroll over the weekend. I've clicked on a million times to see what it was but it just said the post didn't exist. I had to see that button star and would love to have it! Imagine my excitement when it finally made the post available and I could see it was a giveaway!! OMGoodness!
ReplyDeleteWow that home is to die for as are her creations! I couldn't find the Join This Site button anywhere but did bookmark her site. I love anything with buttons but all of her creations are wonderful.

Thanks!
Nancy
Omg, so glad she started a blog! What talent! Im loving her creamy wreaths, but that star button is divine too! :-D
ReplyDeleteWent to Lisa's site and joined the followers. I have to agree her button creations are my favorite as well.
ReplyDeleteLisa's creations are beautiful. I say ditto to the button designs especially the button-heart topiary.
ReplyDeletePlease throw my name in the hat. Thanks!
I love visiting your blog, Anne.
Susie
I would love to give one of her burlap wreaths a new home...and then I would choose some holiday gift tags to use as Christmas ornaments
ReplyDeleteHello Anne,
ReplyDeleteI just linked over to Lisa’s online shop and checked out her creative items for sale. I am in love with Lisa’s beautiful paper rose kissing balls. Thanks for sharing.
Smiles, Paula
Thanks for sharing. I joined Lisa's site and loved all the button creations.
ReplyDeleteI've joined :) It is hard for me to pick. I love all the tags. But you know that old saying, "if you have to ask the price, you probably can't afford it" There are no prices on anything, and when I clicked on items it only brought up a bigger image...I couldn't even figure out how to add something to my cart...just to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI was VERY interested in seeing more about her harvest tags for up coming Samhain, I was interested in possibly getting 5 of the more flatish ones. (If I could afford them)
all of her work is BEAUTIFUL, though topiaries and kissing balls would be the last thing I would get for myself they would make FAB gifts. I like the one you are giving away as it is neutral and I could hang different bits off of it for different seasons.
I love her button art you show here, but couldn't find any at the site :(
Susan
Love that star keep looking at it! LOL
ReplyDeletethe button is up on my sidebar :)
Susan
Of course I visited Lisa's blog and her shop, and I joined, I drooled and I sighed; so many pretties! I heart buttons, so I would love a button creation. Or maybe a few tags. Or a wreath for our new home...oh, my!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne, for always inviting us all to the fun!
Hugs,
Laurie
I happily added the giveaway button to my sidebar. I hope Lisa gets tons of visitors and followers!

ReplyDeleteFacebooked about the button star. Can you tell how much I love it? Thanks so much for the Incredible giveaway. Very, very generous.
ReplyDeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteI discovered Lisa last week when she emailed me after seeing a comment I left on another blog and realized I was another NJ historical home owner. So glad she did! I've already ordered and received some of fabulous creations. I especially like her button star, kissing ball, creamy paper rose wreath, tags ...
I'm following her. Please consider me in this generous giveaway.

ReplyDeleteOh goodness...I love so many things in Lisa's shop but if I have to pick just one...I think it would be the topiary in the little silver creamer...I think it was #9. I joined her site too...I'm excited to go back and look around. LOVE her house!!! I hope you had a good day and I hope your weather has cooled down somewhat. It was a beautiful day here...a tad humid but WAY better than the 104-111 in the last month. Have a wonderful Friday!
