  1. *sticks foot into the entry box* I'm in! :)

    I love all the items, but those labels look especially nice :)

    My favorite quote in all honesty is "Meh." I say it all the time and I've seen it on shirts. Since I think you're looking for something that has been quoted in the past and recorded for us to post here on your blog post...I'll go with...

    "If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased."
    Katharine Hepburn

    She's wonderful :)

  7. Fantastic! My favourite quote right now is from Ben Okri's Mental Fight, an incredible epic poem about humanity:

    "We are greater than our despair.
    The negative aspects of humanity
    Are not the most real and authentic;
    The most authentic thing about us
    Is our capacity to create, to overcome,
    To endure, to transform, to love,
    And to be greater than our suffering."

    Yay :)

    My favourite quote would have to be:

    — Marilyn Monroe

  15. What a wonderful prize.

    I found you on Bianca's blog, goodnight little spoon - and so glad I did. I'm now following.

    I also am bit of a quote collector so it's hard to choose just one, but I'm in a Dorothy Parker kind of mood today so this one wins:

    "Four be the things I'd been better without: Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt."

    I'll pop a button on my blog - www.ilovehandwrittenletters.blogspot.com, and you can email me at lovefromkaz@gmail.com.

  16. Great giveaway :D My favourite quote is by Eleanor Roosevelt - "Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't."
    And she also said this one:
    "Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do."

  22. "The only people for me are the mad ones - the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles."
    -Jack Kerouac

    There's a bit more to the quote I believe, just a few words, but this is how I first saw it quoted, and I fell in love with it. I think it's the best quote in the whole world, and it goes EVERYWHERE - on envelopes, on facebook statuses, on my walls... it's just such a good quote. :]

  32. Hello. I'm a new follower. I found your blog through Goodnight Little Spoon. One of my favorite quotes: "You are what you are seeking. You are standing at exactly the place towards which you have been traveling — for seven years or seventy years or seven hundred years. Your reality is within you, it is not somewhere else. But to understand the point, sometimes it takes years. You knock on many doors before you come to your own door…and then you are puzzled, because this is the house you had left and this is the house you have been searching for." -Osho

  38. I can't believe I didn't get round to entering this sooner. It's a gorgeous giveaway, and I'd very much like to be included, please :o)

    My favourite quote is "Life's a journey, not a destination." Found in the Aerosmith song 'Amazing' but is actually a famous quote by the author Ralph Waldorf Emerson. And its so true. I try to remember this every time I hit a problem or issue in my life - that they're just potholes along the road , and that's it's not about the end - it's about what happenes along the way. It's the journey that's important, and right now, I'm having a great one!

    Hope you're well xx
