Thanks to everyone for participating in the WD-40 giveaway!  We’re here to announce three winners for the week.  The lucky winners, selected by Random.org are: 

Number 2: Jen who needs this for my patio chairs. They squeak SO badly when you turn in them. Really takes away from the relaxation factor.

Number 12: Danyelle who would use it on her pantry door hinges.

and finally, Number 1: KD who would give it to her dad for the family farm. 

Congratulations! 

Also, Our Humble A{Bowe}d is looking to team up with sellers or companies for new giveaways.  Whether you have a small Etsy shop or a large company we’d love to hear from you.  Contact Amanda at ourhumbleabowed@gmail.com with your store website and details of what you would like to giveaway.

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

Recently, WD-40 contacted us to see if we were interested in teaming up to host a giveaway and we jumped at the chance.  I’m sure we all know that WD-40 prevents squeaks, but here are a few things you might not know WD-40 does:

• Shines mother-of-pearl accessories
• Removes glue from carpet
• Removes ink from hands
• Shines seashells
• Removes crayon from carpet (be sure to test WD-40 on low visibility area of carpet before using)
• Removes nail polish from hardwood floors (be sure to wipe floor clean after using WD-40)

2,000+ uses are listed on the WD-40 Fan page, so head on over if you need more ideas.

While in Minnesota recently, we took a trip to the Como Zoo in St. Paul.  Of course we saw animals, but the gardens were gorgeous. 

I seriously love these pendants.  Does it get any better?

It almost, sort of did.  I saw this beautiful artwork designed by a local artist, Allan Peters.

You see, the Como Zoo is a city owned zoo and runs completely off donations and this artwork certainly sparked an interest. 

Not only were the zoo interiors beautiful, but I was surprised by a beautiful ceramic origami deer ornament. 

Love at first sight.  I share the same affinity for white ceramic animals that Sherry at Young House Love does.  I think she would be very happy to have this guy on her Christmas tree.

So, that’s what I did on my recent vacation.  What surprising places have inspired you?

A big thank you to everyone that entered to win a custom print from our shop, Our Humble A{Bowe}d.  I love all the patterns mentioned, too.  Stripes, chevron, quatrefoil, moorish tile, faux bois, and more.

Down to the nitty-gritty.  The winner of one 8 inch by 10 inch custom print is…

lucky number 17, Andrea P!  Congrats, Andrea!

If you didn’t win, you can buy any of our prints or, stay tuned for future giveaways.
