NOVICA giveaway.

by |

I am SO excited to host the latest giveaway sponsored by Novica for a $50.00 gift certificate! They have the most unique finds from home decor to jewelry and handbags to corporate gifts.

For many years, artisans around the world tried to obtain loans so they could expand their businesses. Unfortunately, most could not obtain loans, and when they did, the interest rates were very high. Novica cut out all the financial middlemen and took the matter into their own hands by launching the microfinance website where customers can purchase products and lend money directly to artisans. With no middlemen involved in the process, these Artisan Loans will carry 0% interest. Not only can you purchase unique and “eco-friendly, green treasures” from some very gifted artisans but you can also sponsor their businesses by loaning them funds for their trade.

Check out some of my favorite picks from their site:

To enter the giveaway for the $50.00 gift certificate:

1. Become a follower on Three Men and a Lady.

3. Leave a comment on this post letting me know what your favorite treasure is.

*** You can get an extra entry if you post about this giveaway on:

a. Facebook.

b. Twitter.

c. Your blog.

Giveaway will end on Tuesday, March 1st at midnight and winner will be picked via Random.org.

  1. I love their Cross collection. We have a bunch of crosses hanging in our dining room, from all over the world. I would love to get more, and a few favorites are on Novica!

  10. Great post! I went the website and immediately looked at the instruments. My kids are musicians and my son especially would love any of the drums or panpipes. The box drum is one he already plays. Gee, I should have really looked at the things I love and enjoy.

  11. What a great giveaway! I’ve been coveting a great round hanging leather mirror, just like the one you pictured. I hope I win!

  18. Wow! What a great website. Thanks for the opportunity to win. There are such wonderful things on their website. I really like their nativity scene; I’ve been looking for one for quite a while.

  29. What a terrific find! I love so many of the items on that site. I have a thing about walking sticks and they have a great collection. Thanks for this find.

  36. I think that the Speak No Evil Monkey book ends would work well with our books…on all surfaces(my husband works at a book store). Thanks for this opportunity to find new ways to manage his ever growing collection.

  60. I’m a follower (for quite some time now) and I just love owls & one of my favorites is the “Wood statuette, ‘Mother Owl and Chicks'”

  75. I have been a follower for quite some time now and I love from Novica the hand knotted wool rug “luxurious india” and the “waiting” photograph.

  85. What I LOVE more though is the purpose behind Novica and the opportunities it’s extending to the artisans around the world! I’m in partnership with doing the same for genocide survivors in Rwanda so this is very inspiring! Thank you!!!!

  95. I love your blog…the Novica website is amazing. I am so happy these artisans have a place to showcase their talents and make money to continue their work!! Truly amazing work!!! I love the Dance of the Flowers Mirror by Asunta Pelaez (and many others by her!!) the Sapphire Stars Mirror by Marcos Lazalde (can you tell I am in need of mirrors!!) I also love the Celadon Vase – Azure Lace by Duankgkanol. I could go on and on…truly talented people!!

  96. Michelle, I’ve been following you for a long time – thanks for introducing me to Novica! I love the little round table, and the jewelry.

  97. I so love bracelets and I think the Tourmaline link bracelet with translucnet contrasts i beautiful. I would go with so many things. Thank you also for highlighting NOVICA, it’s a site I have already bookmarked.

  112. wow! this is a great site and i will certainly purchase one of these favorites in the near future.

  148. i love the gold mirror and the table and the earringsthat you posted..
    I also love your diy mirror and i plan to make one soon.

  166. Wow, this is a great giveaway. I officially became a follower today, but I have your blog in my favourites list and check back at least once or twice a week. I love what you’ve done with your place! 🙂
    I really liked these bookends as they resonate with me spiritually and would definately come in handy with all the books we have in our home: http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=109694

    I also really liked the rustic sailboat sculptures as my husband is in the navy and I am trying to do my son’s room in an explorer theme. Any one of these would be a great life-long decoration piece.

    For our bedroom based along the theme of calm and serene, this chair would be the perfect addition: http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=57538

    Thank you for having such a great blog, and a great giveaway as well!

  168. Love getting the “three men and a lady” emails in my inbox. I love the silver bracelet!

It is nice to meet you!
