I would also like to thank everyone for leaving such cute replies for the giveaway. I loved reading the stories- some were sweet, others funny, and almost all of them put a huge, sappy, cheesy grin on mah face.
(Not that that's hard to do. I cry when I watch Oprah, after all.)
(I mean, uh. What? I don't watch Oprah! Who told you that? It's Petunia! She loves Oprah!)
(Petunia, I swear!)
See readers? Here you thought you were signing up to have me give you something, but YOU actually gave ME something. You gave me cute stories! AND I WIN! I WIN! I WIN!
I HAVE THE BEST READERS EVER!
AND A 4-LB CHIHUAHUA THAT LOVES OPRAH!
I SWEAR!
IT'S TOTALLY PETUNIA THAT LOVES OPRAH!
NOT ME!
STOP LOOKING AT ME THAT WAY!
I mean, come on- must I remind you that The Piddles also loves black licorice, Tori Spelling, Nickelback, the youngest Jonas brother, mixing plaid and stripes together, and Bret Michaels' wig? Her tastes have always been a bit 'off' that way, so unfortunately her love of the big O is not really all that shocking. I mean, I was shocked when she asked for a subscription to "O" Magazine for Christmas, sure, but watching Oprah every single day on TV?
It's part of Petunia's charm and whimsy, we like to say. Character.
But on a much more serious note: aside from the Solia flat iron (that I gave away earlier this year), I do fund all of my giveaways completely out of my own pocket. It is much better that way, I think, because then I can giveaway something I honestly love and (more often than not) also own myself.
That is why I love Etsy so dearly. I feel that it is *so* important to support your local businesses and/or thriving artists, and Etsy makes it easy. And if you'd like to purchase your very own pair of Lola Earrings, you can click right here to shop the rest of UntamedMenagerie's amazing Etsy store.
Thanks again, you guys! ♥


Chloe, Colorful Colorado. 5'8" (only) when teetering in her highest 6 inch Miu Miu platform heels. Likes fashion, broccoli, ice cream, clarifying that she does not eat ice cream with her broccoli as to not cause worldwide panic, hoarding beauty products & pretty shoes, tickle fights with her husband (he would like to clarify that he does not like them back, OKAY?), anything covered in sprinkles, any alcoholic beverage made with Tang, live music, clicking the camera, sarcasm fonts, vases stuffed full of pretty flowers, and laughing hard until her belly hurts. Wants an adventurous life, lots of puppies, to never obtusely wander around with her fly down, and to be an iconic Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress with a bright, festive print when she grows up. This is where she bravely documents it all. (
