4th Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway Day! May 29th - Mark Your Calendar!

I've been so excited about announcing the date of this year's Cottage Charm Giveaway! It will begin on Saturday, May 1st and end on Saturday, May 29th, so please mark your calendars!

For those that may have never heard of it, this is a multi-blog, month long event beginning May 1st where bloggers give away on their blogs items they feel exhibit "Cottage Charm". Anyone can join at any point in May before the 29th. On May 29th, all participating bloggers will announce their winners and post it to their blogs. An ongoing list of ALL the giveaways and participating bloggers is maintained here at Twice Remembered during the entire month of May. The list grows and grows the whole month as bloggers add their Cottage Charm Giveaway to their blogs.

This benefits both bloggers and blog readers because blog readers are able to discover many, many new blogs they might not have otherwise found, and bloggers benefit in that they are able to introduce their site to new visitors for the entire month of May.

To join, in May you simply post what you are giving away on your blog {your Cottage Charm Giveaway}, include in your giveaway post a link back to the Twice Remembered entry containing the master list of all participating blog giveaways, and then come back here and add your link to the master list of giveaways. {I'll be using MckLinky this year as I have with past Make Your Monday link parties...so you may already know how easily this works.} All giveaway winners will be announced by individual participating bloggers on May 29th.

Use your own definition of "Cottage Charm" for this giveaway- the possibilities are endless! You can give away books, your own crafts, thrift store finds, new items, yummy treats, gift certificates to your shop, vintage goodies...whatever to you represents cottage charm. Don't worry - you don't have to live in a cottage or personally decorate in cottage style. However, if you would like to give away something to those that do, please join in!

I'll have detailed information near the beginning of May, but I just wanted to let you all know early so that you can decide if you are going to participate {I hope you do!} and also so that you can start thinking about what you'd like to give away.

Here are the giveaway lists for the last three years. As you can see, this event is growing each year as more people are learning about it, so I'm hoping that the 4th Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway will be better than ever!

2009 {68 giveaways}
2008 {54 giveaways}
2007 {40 giveaways}

Please join us if you can. The giveaway participant list officially opens on May 1st, so now is a great time to be getting those giveaway entries ready to go! The official link back to the giveaway party will be posted on May 1st as well. Again, I will be posting more details soon. Thanks!
