New Year Competition - for vintage stocking lovers

What do you think of these dandy little vintage stockings? The packaging alone is adorable !!! So what would you say to winning this charming little pair of authentic nylons for the new year? Mmmmm, I'd say "Yes Please!" too !

 

So, as is the motivation with such competitions (apart from the opportunity to give my readers something they would like) the purpose is to promote what I do here at Alice Jean's. Alice Jean's has been running since 2008, and apart from the health induced 'down time' I have had over the past 2 months, I have been publishing posts on a weekly basis.....at one time Alice Jean's had 1200 weekly readers, but unfortunately this has diminished as I prioritised motherhood over attending every vintage celebration and festival. So, my beloved readers, I would like to encourage the readership back up to those dizzying heights once again - and you can help me, and win a pair of vintage stockings in the process !

 

 

Simply share about Alice Jean's on your own blog or facebook page - too easy! Repost an article you liked or share the url link to Alice Jean's....... oh, and you will need to mention this competition somehow as well. How will I know you have done this, and thus, enter you into the draw? You will need to notify me by typing 'done', with the link to your share, either in a private message from the Facebook page, on the FB page itself or here on the blog.  

 

So it's a breeze - share on your social media page, and leave me notification and a link to say you have done so.

 

Let's start 2014 with some real style - I will be drawing the name of the winner on New Years Day...so keep sharing about Alice Jeans throughout December....the more times you enter, the more chances to win! Best of luck to you one and all !

 

(Please note - you will require a garter belt to wear this stockings)

 

Valentines Day Giveaway

In the spirit of glamour, joy and fun, and not because I am a believer in gimmicky celebration days, I am running a competition for Valentines Day 2013.

 

With songs such as "Moon River" and "True Love" I felt that The Puppini Sisters album 'Hollywood' would make the perfect valentines giveaway here at Alice Jean's. And all you have to do to enter is like Alice Jean's on facebook, then share the link to this competition on your own Facebook page. The competition will be drawn from those who have done so on Valentines Day, and the winner will be contacted via facebook pm-ing for postal details.  Easy.

 

As for Valentines Day, well, I feel love should be celebrated at every opportunity, not just one one day of the year. I have said it before and I will say it again though, some people need that kick up the proverbial to show care and affection for their partners on even just this one day. To me that is not on.

 

 

Life is short. It is precious. People are valuable. And it is not hard to show care. Words cost nothing and mean more that anything. Gifts can be as simple as a bunch of wildflowers. Moments can be as ordinary as fish and chips by the river. But simplicity is beautiful when it is from the heart, springing from a place of love for another.

 

As one who is questioning the entire existence of love in the universe right now, please lavish care and affection on your partner, children, extended family and friends where ever possible.....not just this one day of the year. This emotion called love is the one reason any of us have for living. If we are single it is the hope that it may one day happen for us. If we are partnered, it should be in the joy of building and growing that love. After all, with thanks to the marvelous Sir Paul, it is "all you need".
