Mid2Mod Blog Giveaway: Spun aluminum

I'm announcing a Mid2Mod giveaway for the Google followers of my blog. You can either choose a vintage uplight made of spun aluminum with a black base and octagonal glass trim measuring 9.5" high by 6.25" in diameter...which we priced at $100 in our store. Or you can opt for an HK Design authorized reissue of a Russel Wright spun aluminum cactus pot, which measures 5" high by 9" in diameter...a $125 value. I'll even throw in a fake cactus for you to use till you find just the perfect thing to put in it! :)

The rules of the giveaway are simple. All you have to do is be a public Google follower (which means you must show up in my Google Followers box as a site member, not just have a Google account) and leave a comment on this post, telling me which of the two prizes you like best. I'll choose a winner at midnight (my time) on March 31 and will announce the lucky winner the next day here on my blog. If you win, you'll email me your address, and I'll ship your prize right out to you. (And, yes, I'll ship internationally!)

It's easy to be a site member. In the Google Followers box to the right of this post, click on Join this site. Once you have set up a Google account, click Follow publicly, and you're done.

Here are the prizes:

Vintage spun aluminum uplight 
HK Design Russel Wright reissue cactus pot

    Wow, great offer! I'd say the uplight, I'll put it in my office for a Mad Men effect. ( :

    That said, maybe the gifts should go to followers who had just signed up. That would be an awesome intro to mid2mod!

    I was just thinking this morning that it would be nice to start adding some plants to our mid-century modern mix. The Russell Wright cactus pot would be a great piece to start out with.

    Love the blog!

    Cool! You are the first blog that I'm "officially" following! I now know how to sign in thanks to your easy instructions! They were perfect, just about as perfect as that uplight would be in my Mad Men inspired office I am about to redo! I think it would look nice next to the bar, but if I win, maybe you could tell me where to put it in here! *fingers crossed*

    I shouldn't use terms like this but I'm a lampaholic. I'm shooting for an even 50 before I start saying "no". Strangely, I do not have an uplight.

      LOL So you're setting your "bottom" at 50 before you start attending Lampbuyers Anonymous meetings?

    Ooohh, Please enter me. I love the lamp! It would be perfect in my art deco-esque bedroom or dining room. However, the cactus planter is still fetching.

    I'm so glad I found your blog a few months ago!
