Giveaway - $50 GC to Small by Nature

I ran across a great new website that I thought I should share with you, so of course I approached her for a giveaway opportunity for you, my blog readers!

She agreed and is offering one lucky winner a $50 gift certificate to her site Small by Nature, (www.smallbynature.com).

This is some background on her site:

This holiday season, fashion-forward shoppers can find stunning home accessories (for themselves) and fabulous holiday gifts for friends and family at Small by Nature, , a new retail website dedicated to accessorizing the home – and to helping our beloved four-legged friends. Each time a purchase is made from Small by Nature, 5 percent of the net profits will benefit a national animal shelter, making it a happier new year for those of the furry persuasion.

Founded by decorating and color expert Diana Berchan, (and inspired by her diminutive rescue dog Rosie), Small by Nature is a collection of specially chosen items, ranging from stunning candle collections and exquisite pillows to fine art and decorative items (including a suite of pet-friendly products).  The site offers unusual and charming accents for the home, men, kids, special occasions, outdoor living and, of course, pets.  For just a few examples:

 A Mexican Dog Bowl & Treat Jar set

Snow Candle 

Christmas Angel tree topper

In addition to the many products available for sale on the site, Diana offers expert observations and advice in weekly blogs and a special section called “Diana’s Palette” where she presents the latest trends in color and texture and matches them with affordable home accents from the site.   All of the items offered on Small by Nature are handpicked by Diana and display her keen sense of style and appreciation for nature.  Many of the products are earth-friendly and promote fair trade and all are of the highest quality, influenced by the organic forms, textures and incomparable color combinations found in nature.

Other key features of the Small by Nature website are the photos and bios of animals currently available for adoption. Every month, Diana’s dog Rosie will introduce a new group of furry friends in need of a home, as well as provide information on the non-profit animal shelters receiving financial help as a result of product purchases made on the site.
