Earthborn Pottery Giveaway and Special Sale Opportunity!!!

by Rachel on May 14, 2009

in Earthborn Pottery,Giveaways and Contests

For those of you who have been around for a while, you will remember that I introduced you to my Aunt Tena and her amazing pottery back at my Anniversary Giveaway Jubilee. You can read about how thrilled Beth and Jennifer were with their prizes from Earthborn Pottery here and here, respectively.

Well, I have fabulous news.

Tena recently was asked to create and loan all of the dinnerware needed for the Birmingham Museum of Art’s Annual Ball (which, by the way, was a $750 per person event. Needless to say, I was NOT in attendance).

Photo from the Birmingham Museum of Art’s Lotus Blossom Ball:

Now that the ball is over, Tena has 300 of the above red-footed dinner plates (that have been used only once) to sell.

So, instead of their usual price of $54 per plate, she is selling these plates for $20 per plate! The minimum order for this super deal is 10 plates, but for my readers only, she is offering a minimum order of 5 plates. Which means that you can get $270 worth of handmade, designer pottery for $100!!

However, you can start your pottery collection off with a bang, because Tena has given me two of these plates to offer to you as a giveaway!

To enter this giveaway simply comment on this post. You do not have to be a registered user to do so – you can comment anonymously – just be sure you leave your name and a contact email address in your comment!

You may receive one extra entry each for the following: 1. If you are a Blogger Follower, 2. if you Subscribe via a feed reader, 3. if you follow me via twitter, 4. if you blog about this giveaway, or 5. if you tweet about this giveaway. Be sure to leave a separate comment for each of your extra entries.

This giveaway will end on Monday, May 25th, and I will announce the winner on Tuesday, May 26th.

HOWEVER, If you want to take part in this offer, don’t wait until the end of the giveaway to do so. This is a rare and fabulous deal (over 60% off!) and Tena told me that they are going fast. To purchase, you can visit Tena’s storefront in Leeds, Alabama, or you can order online by emailing her from the website (15% shipping fee applies). Be sure and let her know that you are one of my readers for the special deal on minimum orders.

These are the most beautiful plates I have ever seen – Your Aunt Tena is a very talented individual! I would be thrilled and very appreciative to have something so beautiful in my kitchen, even if I were only to serve pizza or mac & cheese on these – it would still taste like a million bucks :)
