Update: Yay! Voting is over and we have a winner! HUGE congrats to Annie, who said- “I’ve always wanted a fun umbrella, and this one is just what I’ve been looking for. Outwardly mundane, secretly fabulous. Perfect for the rainy season in our new home in Vancouver!”
Annie, send me your mailing address to favoritethings@rootweddings.com, and it’ll be on its way! :)
Thanks, everyone, for entering, and I’ll see you June 24th! <3
I’m soooooooooooo excited for today! It’s the very first edition of my monthly feature- Jensey’s Favorite Things! You know how Oprah has her favorite things giveaway every year? Well, once a month, I’ll be giving away a random favorite thing of mine. And trust me, I have oodles of favorite things. :)
So first things first, here’s a basic rundown of how it’s gonna happen: You may know that Nathan and I were married on Christmas Eve! Since our anniversary is the 24th, that’s my favorite date of the month. SO, on that date each month, I’ll post a blog with a random thing that I love and all you have to do is comment if you want it! After 24 hours, I’ll pick a winner and update my post. That person then has 24 hours to send me their address to claim their prize, or I’ll pick another winner. Get it? Good.
Since this is the very first giveaway, I was really trying to rack my brain to make it something special. So this month, I’m giving away a cloud umbrella, just like mine! (Shown above) It’s from New York’s Museum of Modern Art and it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It makes rainy days fun, and you absolutely cannot be in a bad mood when you’re walking under clouds. :) So if you want it, comment and say hello, and check back tomorrow afternoon to see if you won! :)
Love it! :)
Oh my gosh, That is precious. Never noticed the clouds in it before. So unique!
That’s actually a really cool concept for an umbrella!
It’s like you’re always under a blue sky even when it’s dreary out.
Really awesome!
Oh! Pick me, pick me!
You would think having lived in Florida my whole life I would have an umbrella with all the rain around her, but oddly enough I don’t……Oh well! :)
By the way, this whole connecting via facebook thing on here is really, really cool.
That umbrella is as adorable as you!
Ooh la la! That winner will be one lucky lady or amazing boyfriend/fiance/husband (hint, hint Jon)
Ooooh I love it! I want it! So:
“Hello”
:)
I love that umbrella. I think a blue sky and clouds ona rainy day would be perfect. Wonder if they make matching rainboots?
Aww I love this! You are too cute…and so is the umbrella!
Cute idea. I love why you’re doing this on the 24th!
Oh that is so cute! I was trying to find a cute umbrella to bring for use in our wedding pictures! :) I may have to snatch that up! :D Thanks for sharing Jensey!
I’ve always wanted a fun umbrella, and this one is just what I’ve been looking for. Outwardly mundane, secretly fabulous. Perfect for the rainy season in our new home in Vancouver!
Walkin’ on sunshine and under the clouds :) I would love to sport this umbrella during rainy days!
Pick me please!
Great idea, Jensey! I was thinking about doing something like this on my site! LOVE the cloud umbrella… I’m definitely in need of a new one, and this would make me extra happy! :)
that is one adorable umbrella!
I <3 the 24th, too! I have one child born on 5/24 & one on 4/25! Today is my oldest child's birthday! Awesome umbrella!
I love this idea!
AND I love your umbrella! I have a pretty polka dot one that I use most of the time, but your clouds are so much better!
soo cute!!! =]
So cute! :) I love it!
I always loveee when Oprah does her favorite things show! That is so fun that you’re doing your own rendition. :) and such a great first choice; that umbrella is so cute!
I love it! Pick me! Pick me!! It rains a lot in Maryland!!
:D
I’m obsessed with clouds and I just remembered some awesome photos Nathan used to take of Orlando sunsets. You should give some of those prints away monthly 0:). Love this idea and LOVE the umbrella.Pick me, please!
I would love this! I just lost my umbrella last week!
…’cause when moving from Florida to Tennessee, it didn’t dawn on me that we would need an umbrella here. Hello, weird Tennessee weather!
Plus, it would make an amazing prop for a shoot :)
OH My Gosh-love your umbrella and your favorites blog-looking forward to more
Girl you are too cute, great ideas!!! Love it!
Love it so much!
OOOH!! I LOVE it! Absolutely adorable! It reminds me of one of my favorite things about living here in FL: The juxtaposition of a beautiful sunny day with white fluffy clouds on my left and the black swirling clouds and lightning of an impending downpour on my right! Seriously, it’s the coolest thing ever.
And the umbrella would make a fun prop for our upcoming engagement shoot, no? :-P
I would always be looking for a rainy day to play in!
Such a lovely idea, Jensey! Gorgeous umbrella too. :)
That umbrella is adorable! Funny that I would see this post right after watching Mary Poppins.
So cute!! Hello :)
This is so fun! :-)
Love the umbrella…
Jensey, I would LOVE to win your favorite cloud umbrella! It’ll help keep me dry when I have doggy duty outside with these rainy summer months :)
That is amazing! I need a cute umbrella for school :)
Such a great idea!
Could you be any more adorable??! I think not. :)
I absolutely love this idea!!! Just adorable!
a little tune for your umbrella~~
“Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev’rywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way”
Jensey, you are quite possibly the cutest person I know. I am loving this idea, and your right if Oprah can have her favorite things why can’t Jensey?!?!?! Love, love, love it!! The umbrella is perfect and I can’t wait to see all your favorites :)
Have I mentioned that we now live in the rainiest city in the US?? Yes that’s right! I heard it on the news the other day. Mobile AL is the rainiest city in the US! (not Seattle as previously thought)
Just sayin…;)
I love the idea for your favorite things on your favorite day of the month. So stinkin’ cute!
I have been wanting one of those umbrellas for ages. For reals.
How fun! Awesome idea! :)
Oh, so so fun! I love it!
