Wines
Via a post on Lip-Sticking, I learned about a women-friendly California winery called Mirassou. Check out this contest they’re having for women entrepreneurs:

Since obtaining capital is the No. 1 obstacle
women face in starting their own businesses, Mirassou has created the
"Make Your Dreams Come True with Mirassou" contest which provides
$50,000 in seed money to help start a "Dream" business.

How cool is that? On the strength of that information alone, I made a point of picking up a bottle of Mirassou the last time I went wine shopping. It’s very reasonably priced (about $10 a bottle), and I’m enjoying the Merlot I bought and eager to try some of the other vintages they offer.

Charmingsam IT’S ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!

I had so much fun with my last giveaway that I jumped at the chance to do it again. This time I have two gift collections from Charming Sam, courtesy of Wickedly Chic and Marmalade Pink. Each one contains a necklace, a pair of earrings, some mini art prints, and a collection of collage sheets, total value $100.

To enter, just leave a comment on this post between now and the end of the day on Friday. Don’t disqualify yourself because you’re outside of the U.S. – I’m happy to ship the prizes anywhere. Guys: don’t rule yourselves out either; remember, it’s almost holiday shopping time.

To choose the winners, I’ll number the commenters in the order in which they posted and have a random number generator select two numbers from the range.
