Gimme a Giveaway: Wonderfully Wordy

*This giveaway is no longer accepting entries, Thank You!*

In a recent post, I mentioned that I fell in love with this pantry; it had me at flour.

Yep, I’m a sucker for organization, labels, pretty glass jars and a beautiful pattern.  Not only did I fall in love with the pantry, but it inspired me to do a little sprucing up of our pantry.

I decided I needed a set of labels for myself, but Miss Shelley at House of Smith’s, who also has a custom vinyl business, Wonderfully Wordy, was kind enough to add a set for one lucky duck.

Are you excited?  Here’s how it works:

Prize:  One set of five vinyl jar labels, courtesy of Wonderfully Wordy

To Enter:  Subscribe to follow Our Humble A{Bowe}d, if you’re not already.  To subscribe, click the “Sign Me Up!” button under “Be the first to know.”

Bonus:  Comment on this post with the words “LABEL LOVE” and tell us what you like to do to organize your home.

Contest Closes:  Monday, September 13th at 9:00 pm, central time.

Number of Winners:  One!

Ships:  Anywhere in the U.S.

Other Info:  Only one entry per e-mail address.  The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Tuesday, September 14th.  Good luck!!

    LABEL LOVE: We recently got a bookshelf for our living room, and I found these wonderful banana fiber baskets at Ikea to organize (and tastefully disguise) my 8-month old son’s toys and books that he plays with in the living room.

    I love the House of Smiths blog! She inspired me to organize my own pantry. All I have left to do is find glass jars that I love, and win the labels to complete them!

  2. Label love!! I recently organized our downstairs closets, but our linen closet is due for an organization overhaul, big time.

  3. LABEL LOVE! I’d like to get matching jars for all our spices, but they have to be plastic because they’re in the basement stairwell with prime dog-tail wagging placement. I also need to organize the two remaining closets that haven’t had much attention yet.

  4. “LABEL LOVE”…literally…i am in love with these labels and all labels for that matter. I have recently discovered that a label making machine does not have any boundaries! I have started labeling all shelves in my storage closets to keep things extra organized…im also a fan of baskets!

    I tend to use LOTS of elastics to group like items like markers &secure puzzle or game boxes etc. I also use a lot of milk crates with lables for the kids things or even for a “snack bin” in the pantry closet

    I have drooled over the House of Smith’s pantry for a while now. She is so creative! I reorganized my pantry but it’s not near as cute as this one. I’m a grandma and get lots of pictures of the kids. Maybe I could organize them somehow.

    I try to use small baskets and canisters to organize. I’ll admit it doesn’t always work out great but I do try. I love the way the words on our the cannisters in the pics. I bought the cannisters about 2 years ago but always have to open them to see what it really is (flour or powdered sugar), etc. Mine are stainless steel though but I love them.

    Label love! I WISH we had a pantry like that in our kitchen! We live in a 100+ year old house that has a giant but totally non-functional kitchen (NO drawers, and only 4 cabinets). I love having glass jars like that though to organize dry goods on our shelves. The taller ones are handy because it takes up more height on each shelf, thus freeing up more space width wise for other canned goods and things.

    I seriously just re-did my pantry this weekend after seeing a post on Tater Tots and Jello that linked to Shelley’s post. I repainted the pantry walls “Wise Owl” tan and the shelves are White. I reorganized all of the food too, taking the items not used very often upstairs to our other food storage location. I even have a wreath, pitcher and platter on the top shelf inspired by Emily from DecorChick’s pantry makeover.

    My husband and I are building a custom house for the second time now. This time we know what works and what doesn’t. Labelling and organization definitely WORK (for you- that is!). Life is so much easier (especially when you have kids and are looking to soak up every spare second that you can) when things are neatly in their place. Labelling is my new obsession! What’s not to love about it!
