    DownEast Basics GIVEAWAY & Review

    I LOVE DownEast Basic's clothing.  Love love love it!  I only wish I lived closer to a store.  Thank goodness for online shopping, right?!

    Well, I recently discovered that they have a "home" section. They now sell home decor items! 

    They are so cute and very reasonably priced!  So I was thrilled when they asked me if I wanted to do a review for them!  Like jumping up and down, little girl screams, calling my husband at work to tell him the news, excited!  Yeah.  I was pretty excited!

    So off I went to order something to review.  Here is what I chose:

     Black Wire Bowl 10"
    I had originally thought this would be the perfect bowl for fruit in my kitchen, and it would be great for that.  But I decided to use is as decoration in my front entry instead! 
    This bowl is well made, quite sturdy and so very very cute and stylish.  I love the wire-working on this bowl.  And it is the perfect size to hold some fun decorative balls!  I love this bowl and love having it as a new addition in my front entrance! 
    19" Boxwood Topiary
    I love topiaries and my house needed a bit of green, so I was thrilled to be able to get this topiary!  I really do love this topiary. 
    It is made with nice quality faux boxwood and is stylish yet unique.  I love the small twigs around the base of the topiary and the fake dirt in the bottom makes this topiary just perfect in my book! 
    DownEast's home line has the same quality, sense of style, and attention to details as their clothing line does and I am a huge fan of both their home and clothing line! 
    If you haven't already you should check out their home decor line!  It is fabulous!
    Do you want the opportunity to WIN a $25 gift certificate to DownEast Basics that can be used on clothing or home decor items? 
    I thought you would say yes!

      I really love their drape and dazzle tunic and their pretty parisian dress right now. Their layer t-shirts are always a favorite, too.<br />I also wish they had a store in the area. I had to visit the store nea my parents when I went to visit last!
