Birthday Giveaway Five!-CLOSED

What can I say.
I am still loving my Reliable orange iron that I received for my orange sewing studio a few years ago.
Really. Ironing is a necessary evil, especially if you sew, it might as well be pretty, no?!
And it works really well, too, which just makes it that much better ;) Never spits or leaks, which is more than I can say for my children.
I get to give away TWO irons!  Yes!!  Even if your iron works just fine, you want this one.  Because it's cute.  Enter by leaving a comment (with your email address if it's not linked to your profile) and I'll announce winners on Monday!

  2. Oh, it is very cute! I would love a pretty iron because you are right, ironing is a necessary evil!

  3. I love the iron. It would add a great pop of color to my sewing room. The "Never spits or leaks, which is more than I can say for my children." line makes me laugh. I hear you. I only have two, but they can create some serious messes. Thanks! Happy Birthday. kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com

  4. I feel like an iron that cute might whistle at me while I work, like the Brad Pitt of irons...if BP would ever whistle at me, which is doubtful. But, you know what I mean. Nice iron.

    ReplyDelete

    And it's new. But terrible.
    So terrible that a friend came over to work on a project, and she asked to use my iron, and
    then she said WOW this is a terrible iron. She couldn't even lie about it.
