Big day today. Guest Mom GcQ is in the house. And. So is the first Design Mom Giveaway! To thank all you lovely readers who have been spreading the word about Design Mom, I’m starting a series of Giveaways. Curious? Read on for your chance to win lovely loot.
Darlybird is giving the two very special pieces pictured above to the winner of the first Design Mom Giveaway. Wouldn’t you just love to own this amazing Pink Retrolite Necklace? So sweet and sexy, it hits your collarbone in the perfect spot. The 1.25″ x 1″ pendant hangs from a 16 1/2″ adjustable sterling-plated chain. And what about this stunning bobby pin? It’s called the Sarah Dahlia Bobby and it’s vintage from West Germany. A Darlybird exclusive and in my opinion, the perfect compliment to your Thanksgiving ensemble.
Luckily, they can both be yours.
Here’s the low-down:
-To enter the contest, you just need to make a comment on this post. Any comment.
-You have from this moment until this Friday, November 10th, at Midnight (EST) to comment.
-The winner will be randomly picked from the comments and announced on Monday the 13th.
Contest FYI:
-You don’t need to have a blog to comment, but any Anonymous comments will be ignored.
-One entry per person, please.
-New Design Mom readers are welcome to enter, so tell your friends and family.
If you must own the necklace and bobby this minute and can’t wait until Monday, go ahead and buy them here and here, or check out the other amazing finds at Darlybird while you try to develop your patience.
Good Luck and Happy Commenting!

That necklace is too adorable. Is making the #1 comment hurting my chances? I hope not.
pick me!

is this a blogroll?
What a great idea! I love Darlybird! I bought some earrings from Darlybird that I just adore. I will definitely spread the word about the give-away. Fabulous blog!
It’s not a blogroll. If you don’t want to use your real name, no problem. I just need to be able to announce the winner. If it’s you, I’ll say, “Candace Y, who wrote: is this a blogroll?”
Oh my goodness, Design Mom. You ARE the new Oprah!
ohhh pretty!
can you send stuff abroad?
here is my comment! I am crossing my fingers for the necklace.
happy monday
What a fun blog for this Monday morning.
Those are beautiful! (Love your blog!!)
please pick my lovely comment. i love your blog so dearly. or should i saw darly. :)
Gabby,
You’ve got quite a fan club! ‘Love reading the blog – does this count? :)
Now I know why yours is always the first blog I read!
GCQ, she is the new Oprah. Really.
Ask her someday about the wicked art market that she and Lisa V Oh Judy did when they were in college…
Don’t need the give away, but I love any excuse to go see what else is new at Darlybird…I need to get some of those baby booties…..
I made my comment for the giveaway on Girl con Queso’s post. Oops! :) Love the Design Mom Giveaway logo, by the way.
me me me meeee. i actually ordered this beautiful ring and two pairs of earrings from darlybird that i wear seriously every day. they are so pretty. so even if you don’t win, everyone should go check out the site http://www.darlybird.com
Love them both, I wouldn’t mind being a winner!
Love the necklace. Love the blog. Hope I win!
Found you from a post at GcQ. I love, love, love the necklace. So glad I found your site and Darlybird’s too. Gorgeous!
wow– I LOVE the vintage feel of these pieces. Rock on darlybird
p.s. pick me! ;)
I am so glad that I already comment so that I don’t feel completely hypocritical for commenting just to get a fabulous accessory.
Now I feel only partially hypocritical. And I can live with that.
Please Pick Me! I’m broke and the bobby pin would make a great gift for my sister in law! (If I won the necklace I would have to keep it..it’s WAY to cute to pass along!) Thanks for leading me to Darlybird. Super cute.
This is so fun!
I can’t resist entering to win a darlybird item! becca
Your blog just keeps getting better and better!
Huge fan of design mom AND darlybird! I already own the matching coral dahlia earrings!!! I must have the bobby too.
Pick me, can’t wait to check out the other stuff. My sis referred me here and I find I should read more often.
great blog… lovely prizes. hooray! :)
Very Cute.
Pick me.
I love your blog! It’s where I get inspiration for pretty things. I think Dalybird would go great with my ever expanding belly.
You bet I’ll finally leave a comment. :)
Like so many others, I absolutely love your blog and the lovely things featured therein. The necklace is beautiful – every time I see pink I am reminded of my Favorite Aunt Nancy, a Breast Cancer Survior – if I win it, I will be giving it to her for her birthday the 2nd of December; hopefully it will be a daily reminder for her to live every day as if it were her last. she is such an inspiration to me. The bobbypin is fabulous as well – as for that, I might just have to keep it for myself!
Happy Blogging!!
I love reading your blog everyday!
Thanks!!!
Jen M.
This blog has so many great ideas and beautiful things. Very refreshing.
I’m in!
yea, what a fun idea. darlybird has the most amazing stuff! i love buying stuff at darlybird, but winning stuff would be even better! thanks, design mom!
that’s my necklace!!
What a great idea! I love those pieces. I must order some stuff at Darlybird for sisters for Christmas, don’t you think?
life hasn’t been the same since you started designmom gabby! more beauty, surely a bit more envy and more perfectly usable ideas and products!
Blog-a-rific! I don’t care if you pick me, I already have the gift of your blog! (Does sucking up help?) I’ll sew you something.
Blog-a-rific! I don’t care if I win, your blog is gift enough for me! (Does sucking up improve my chances?) I’ll sew you something!
Blog-a-rific! I don’t need to win, your blog is gift enough! Does sucking up increase my chances of winning? I’ll sew you something!
I’m pretty sure it’s MY necklace.
So, apparently I’m an idiot and haven’t commented on any blogs (Oh Judy needs to write a new one!) So, I didn’t realize that my comments would be posted repeated times. Sorry! Amateur!
I’m getting lots of good Christmas gift ideas from your blog. Thanks!
Being a broke grad student, I love looking at all the pretty things on your blog. And I would love to actually have one! Great blog, thanks!
count me in.
This would be oh-so-much better if you could actually see me doing my “Gooo me” spirit pyramid. Now there’s the toe touch, back flip, double herkie. Oh my gosh! Probably should have saved that for after I am picked but wanted to show my enthusiasm for the lovely necklace and the all around gifting. How wonderful! No blog but GCQ has my 411.
I love Design Mom! Thanks for the great book ideas too, by the way.
Wow. Each time I check back, the number of comments goes up. I think I’m number 50. The only time I won a drawing was at the overnight party when I graduated from high school. I won $50. It bought a lot of gelato on my trip to Italy that summer.
I’m crossing my fingers. Maybe I can wear something besides pearls?
How cute! Pick me!
I never win anything, but I continue to enter drawings. Maybe this one will be the lucky one. I love that necklace!
I guess we know people are reading, right?
I just read GCQ’s intro post and I was happy to see that her comment on my post was how you find her. I have to say I can’t claim credit. HER comment on Fizz’s post is how I found her. So, Fizz should something……..
And I love anything with cheese.
I love Darlybird!
This is big news! Free stuff is so fun.
What a perfect way to end a Monday! With a contest! Fab idea Design Mom!
Both pieces are delightful!
OOHH, wonderful! The hair clip makes me think of Adriana, it seems like it would be her style, I hope she comments.
Maybe I’ll win & make it my style!
I love the pieces. I’m gonna go check out the site right now. I have been looking for a new necklace.
Love this blog! Great ideas and inspiration! :)
Gabby you’re my hero (not just because of the giveaway, though that does help)!
Holey moley, look what your grand quest for cybergreatness hath wraught! 62 comments?1?
Tania told me about your blog, I love it.
Okay, I just scrolled back through about 20 posts and read them. Design Mom has great taste (thanks for the BROCADE catalog idea, by the way.)
This is like a foreign universe to me of moms, babies, child-proofing, artistic sense, matching home goods and all. GcQ, this is all so you! I love it!! As someone who knows GcQ personally, I can say that she is a bazillion times more amazing in real life. Maybe a garillion bazillion. She even thought I was cool enough to merit the gift of a book called LONDON INTERIORS even though a lot of my furniture is from IKEA.
I am off to Darlybird where I can focus on accessories.
Oh my….64 comments is what happens when I decide to clean my house and shop and pick the kids up and get homework done and put the kids to bed before I read my dailies!
My sister recommended your blog to me and I’m so grateful! And I’m grateful for your contest ’cause now I have an incentive to finally leave that comment I’ve been meaning to leave since forever…I adore your blog! Thanks for all the fantastic ideas…DAILY! You are a fountain of inspiration!
You have such lovely ideas on your blog. I love coming to visit and find fun things to daydream about! Thanks for sharing your fun finds.
does it count as cheating if my daughter enters?
I even love you MORE than Oprah!
They’re free?? I’ll take either one, thanks. –a mom
Those are gorgeous!
OK, instead of just lurking and enjoying, I will comment. One of your earlier posts led me to Darlybird, where I did some Christmas shopping. I love all the links and ideas…thanks for focusing on the beautiful.
Love, love your blog. I check it every day.
Count me in!
I love those!!!!!!!! Pick me!
I think that necklace would do wonders for my collarbone. Yay!
I now love blogs because of you! I love visiting often to see your new posts. Thanks for the contest idea!
Stringbing
Thank you for your wonderful and inspiring blog! I would love to be picked:)
Must come out of Lurkerville and hope to win because I love pink (matches my leather chaps & jacket) and orange (color of my Harley).
LOVELOVELOVE all your posts and ideas that we REALLY “can” do ourselves!
Am I officially the only man who reads design mom? Or am I the only one that would enter a contest to win jewelry? I promise if I win I will put them in my wife’s Christmas Stocking.
Woo hoo, contest! No, make that great holiday ideas (above) and contest!
I’m here…can’t wait
Yay! A contest, count me in!
i gotta get in on this! this is my first visit to your blog and i foresee many wasted hours perusing your archives…
Wow, offer to give something away and comments go through the roof!
Hey, I look really good in pink and silver, so I could use the necklace, and my daughter could use the bobby. Perfect!!!!
I’m a fan of Design Mom, Darlybird and the prizes.
And I’m surprised there are two Kara’s.
I hope it’s me!
I can’t even remember how I found your site, but I love it. How do you do it all with 5 kids? Amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.
Lovely stuff!

Love the blog. Thank you for all of the great ideas.
I must say I’m a bit intimidated to comment on this blog – like I must say something either tasteful or witty. Or tastefully witty. Anyhow, here’s my latest question – is there a way to catalog this blog? When I remember something I wanted to look at, I can’t remember exactly where it was and I scroll and scroll until I’m dizzy. And what do I do a year from now when I want to make some super cool magnets for a Christmas gift?? How ever will I find it?!?! Perhaps there is already an answer to this. I hope so. I will surely sleep better at night if there is.
Oh yeah, and don’t I need a fabulous hair pin? I am a hairdresser after all….
Hey, why not try to win!? I’m another Katie, so you can call me Katie in Queens.
huge fan of Design Mom. what a great idea as well.
Design Mom, You make my day “snappy”.
Sarah
This is such a fun blog–I love it!
Your site is a-w-e-s-o-m-e. Love it from the bottom of my heart.
Holy Cow! I need to get with my blog checking more frequently. I almost missed this.
What excitement!
Of course I’ll toss my name into the ring.
P.S. – Loving the blog!
So sweet! I hope I win!
