This month is the first birthday of Parcel Post! I was thinking for presents it would be fun to give a few little things out to you, since you all are a big part of what keeps me going. The inspiration came from someone I met in Urbanic over the weekend named Jillian. I told her that I loved her dress and she told me that she loved my blog. It was so fun to meet one of my readers in person and it totally made my day! I hope that if any of you make it into the shop that you will introduce yourself. I realize that many of you can’t make it in, so this blog giveaway is about meeting you. Please introduce yourself in a comment on this post. I would love to know anything about you. Do you have a blog? a website? a favorite color? where do you live? what do you do? How did you find Parcel Post?
To be eligible to win, all you have to do is introduce yourself in a comment on this post before April 29th .
I will announce the winners on April 30th. (if i already know you, feel free to comment- you can play too!) Below are the prizes. There will be 5 lucky winners!
prize No.1 is a deluxe lip balm by Mor
prize No.2 is an Orla Kiley notebook
prize No.3 is an Aquiesse travel candle
prize No.4 is a bar of soap by Lucia

Los Angeles is buzzing with local talent and I am regularly inspired by so many of the designers that I am privileged to meet. It’s always great to hear stories of how they got started and pursued their creative endeavors. Recently, a few of these designers offered to donate prizes to Parcel Post, so I decided to have an inspirational giveaway.
To win all you need to do is leave a comment to this post about a project you have worked on in the past or a project you hope to accomplish in the new year. It can be ANY kind of project. Feel free to add links if you have some to share.
Guidelines: You have until February 4th 2008 to post a comment. The winners will be randomly chosen on February 5th and announced here on Parcel Post – so check back to see if you have won.
This time there will be * 7 WINNERS * If you win you will receive one of the following….
Prize No.1 Botanical Index is Jenny Lee. She donated 2 box sets of assorted greeting cards letterpressed with modern & vintage inspired details. “I have always loved stationery and creating special packages to mail out to friends for birthdays, holidays, or just because. Botanical Index began a couple years ago, inspired by this love for letter-writing and “old-fashioned” correspondence, and has continued to be a way to create special cards and stationery for friends and clients alike.“
Prize No. 2 Paperwink is Tara Bokman and Darcey Shanahan. They donated a set of custom personal stationery which will be made especially for the winner. After working together at Knock Knock they decided to branch out and start their own company. “We find inspiration in found objects and many of our designs show our unique style of mixing vintage elements with a modern flair. Our stationery works together as a system, which includes notecards, address labels and calling cards.”
Prize No.3 Copper Willow is Jill Velez and Leora Mauck. They donated 3 box sets from their new luxury line – Prestige. The boxes feature 8 asst. shaped cards with navy ink & envelopes with matching labels for addressing on the front. They met each other through their husbands (who were best friends in college). “We both wanted to run our own business so that we could stay home with our children as they grow up. The business started out of the home and with our families in mind, we made the environment and health safety our priorities. All artwork and calligraphy is original and everything is pressed by hand with soy ink. We use only vegetable oils and solvents and all of our papers are tree-free, recycled or made from re-purposed clothing. Now having children, we are thrilled to be doing something we both love and caring for our families at the same time.“
Prize No.4 Lilikoi is Andria Ledon. I met her while she was shopping at Urbanic. She is a graphic designer currently working on designing her own wedding invitations. “My calendar is my most recent and favorite project. I have a Chandler & Price 8×12 letterpress that is 120 years old and is manually operated. The calendar is printed on 100% cotton paper and is 1 of 100. I am a graphic designer and letterpress printer and have recently started my own business. Since spending several years at a boutique ad agency and doing freelance graphic design since college and now on my own, I’m really enjoying my work.”
* On a side note, so you know, I adore your comments. Thanks for always getting so into it. If you haven’t read any from the last few give-aways click here and here *

This morning I picked a winner for the First Official Parcel Post Giveaway . I wrote each post number down on a piece of paper, folded them up, put them in a basket and picked one.
So the winning number is ….
#45 posted by Meredith that never wins anything- finally won something!
I have to say this was really fun for me – and I kept wishing everyone could win. This made me decide I will be doing many more giveaways very soon, so stay tuned for that. I am still on the eastcoast but flying back today with so much to report from nyc.
Until then have a great weekend. ( summer is almost over )
