A Galvanized Crush & Announcing The WINNER!

"click photo to enlarge"

While I am excited to announce the "WINNER" Of the Eco-Natural Soap GiveAway! I want to show you some pictures of my latest crushes. Yes I am crushing on "galvanized" I am enamored with galvanized buckets, as well as wash tubs. Just about anything galvanized will catch my eye, like this back yard bathing tub. Can you just imagine soaking in a beautiful recycled galvanized tub with nature all around you. While also bathing with ECO-NATURAL SOAP products that are 100% natural, and healthy for you as well. You may visit eco-natural soap at http://econaturalsoap.com. I want to thank each, and everyone of you for your support, and beautiful comments. Eco natural soap feel so blessed that you showed so much excitement over a GiveAway featuring their product line. They would love for you to visit their site, and get aquainted with what they have to offer you with their skin renewal, with their natural skin care products.

A galvanized 8 on the side of a bucket oh my! Could number 8 be the winner! Having to calculate a winner is the tuff part, although their is only one, (1) winning number picked by the automatic calculator used. I find myself wishing I were Lady "O" yes Oprah from the Oprah show annoucing her big GiveAway!...Making you all the winning number, where is Oprah when we need her. No the winning number is not number #8

Do you not just love this rusted galvanized tub. As I posted in my older recycled holiday gifting post, this tub would be a great recycled gift to your cottage garden loved one, or dear friend. I can just see it filled with beautiful terry cloth bath towels, and soaps from eco-natural soap company. Can you not see it wrapped with clear gift wrapping, and a burlap bow tied to it tagged to a dear one. Giving a recycled gift like this will not be forgotten. Showing them their is euro chic-ness in recycled French flea market gifting. Best of all, we are doing our part in recycling a beautiful found piece with history.

I love how this bucket is displayed. It reminds us daily, that an old cast off can add a little European flea market charm to our recycled homes. Encouraging a recycled, and eco-natural soap HOLIDAY!

I hope you do visit "econaturalsoap.com" and try their eco-natural herbal beauty, and healing products. My daughter Hannah, and I were gifted some of their most important natural aids to the health, and beauty of your skin. We must say, in a few days of use we would like to announce results with rave reviews. Eco-Natural Soap company have created a natural, and a healthy beauty formula made for a healthier more beautiful you.

CONGRATULATIONS! to our beautiful WINNER!!"SANDY FOSTER"
"#75 calculated through... Random.org"
Please visit Sandy's beautiful site at http://myshabbystreamsidestudio.blogspot.com.
While also visiting eco-natural soap, 100% natural products "econaturalsoap.com" the beauty nature has to offer.

I'm so sorry I missed this giveaway but based on your recommendation I'm definitely going to try some of their products!
I recently sold an old galvanized tub on craigslist after owning it for many many years and now of course I'm regretting it. Sometimes it comes down to storage and guilt and I make hasty decisions, oh well, I just wish I had known you then :)
Please give a hug to Hannah for me.
Miss you and think of you often.
Can't wait to see your house all dolled up naturally for the holidays...
As I begin my Christmas decorating, you and your beautiful aesthetic fill my mind!!

Hi Dore! Although I wish it was me, I am always happy to hear of others good fortune :D

Let's talk galvanized...ME TOO! It's a comforting element as it seems more attainable budget wise, yet gets me the pizazz piece I so often am looking for. This will sound cliche, but it brings back so many memories of my grandparents and farm life!

Happy day, week and Thanksgiving to you XXOO

Hi Dore,
I love galvanized too. I just saw an old French piece like the one shown in your 3rd photo today. I picked it up and put it down... Now I'm asking myself why I didn't bring it home!

How great Sandy won your giveaway, she just won over at my place too. She is a kind spirit so I'm very pleased for her good fortune.

Happy Thanksgiving, Dore!

While living overseas, I had a gigantic galvanized tub that served as a planter - it was scrumptious! I had to leave it behind when we moved, but a friend of mine gladly took custody of it. Glad I found your blog today! -diane

Jennifer said...

Ohhh to get a hold of the galvanized tubs! I searched high and low for an affordable one to soak in or the plant my veggies in ( a dog that eats anything from eggplant to green tomatoes and basil!). No luck - love your blog....Jennifer pop in sometime at jennsthreegraces
