We’re so pumped up to be a part of N.E.E.T. Magazine’s 6 days of giveaways in celebration of their 6th anniversary. Unlike most giveaways, this one is for a gift certificate and since I love you all, I priced the gift certificate at 75 smackers so that you could get some serious stuff with it! Head over to the N.E.E.T. Magazine blog and leave a comment with your favorite piece from the fall collection. Extra points (entries) if you hit their tweet button and spread the word!

Just wanted to let you know that I’m going to be participating in a Holiday Sale this Saturday the 10th from 5-8pm at the Concentrated Film Studios (2156 W. Fulton). I’m going to be concentrating on gift type items including a new bag, but the collection will be there as well. The sale also includes the talented designers Anna Brown, Nonnie Threads and Nora Del Busto. If you’re in Chicago stop by and say hi, enjoy custom cocktails and delicious snacks and finish up that holiday shopping!

Hope everyone is having a Happy Thanksgiving and getting their fill of pumpkin pie. As a thank you for all the support I’ve gotten this past year enter THANKSGIVING at checkout and take 15% off your order from now until Sunday the 28th at midnight.

I also wanted to do a little giveaway here, my first hosted by me! Leave a comment below with your favorite piece from 2011 (spring/summer or fall/winter) and you’ll be entered to win an Ellsworth Clutch in your choice of color. Be sure to leave your email address in the appropriate field so that I can contact you.

For a second chance to win just retweet this post and and make sure to include @hounddesign so that I can see and enter you again. I’ll choose a winner on Monday the 29th…good luck!!

**UPDATE** A winner was chosen on Monday, I apologize that I forgot to update this post. Congratulations to #12 Lawn Party, you were random.org’s chosen one!

I’ve been so busy sewing this past week that I’ve barely had time to post but I took a few moments to take some photos of a grouping of Gold Spectrum dresses. I love sewing with this gold linen, even my serger scraps look good with this fabric! I’ll be back after Thanksgiving with a little post holiday treat.  Sign up for the mailing list for the early word, otherwise check back on Friday for more info!
